📋 About This Mod
Why would speech increase vendor caps, why would repair make fusion cores last longer, why should weapon improvements be limited to those who use VATS. In response I bring you Better Bobbleheads Skills Edition. Now speech improves your speech, repair improves armor and weapons, and each weapon type gets boosts outside of VATS.
Many of the values I used were either arbritrary or based on preexisting values. If anything seems too far out of whack please let me know.
Unarmed, Melee, Heavy, Small, and Energy Weapons: Added 5% damage increase and 5% Critical Chance Explosives: Added explosives resistance Barter: Added increased vendor caps from Speech Speech: Made speech checks easier and added bonus XP for speech checks Lockpick: No change Medicine: No change Repair: Made equipped armor lighter and stronger, decreased speed effect of wielding heavy weapons Science: Added fusion core bonus from repair Sneak: Added pickpocket bonus
A companion to Better Bobbleheads SPECIAL Edition, this mod reworks the skill bobbleheads in Fallout 4 to make them more useful and logical. It's a small, focused tweak for players who want quality-of-life improvements to the game's collectible bonuses.
✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Solid community support with 416 endorsements.
- Over 10,000 downloads shows real demand.
- Pairs perfectly with the SPECIAL Edition for a complete overhaul.
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in 2016, so it may not be compatible with the latest Fallout 4 patches.

For Fallout 4 players who want more meaningful rewards from collecting bobbleheads. If you're a completionist or roleplayer who likes logical progression, this is a nice tweak. Skip if you're looking for major gameplay changes or if you don't care about bobblehead bonuses.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Install with a mod manager like Nexus Mod Manager or Vortex to keep track of your load order.
- If you're also using the SPECIAL Edition, make sure both mods are installed and load in the correct order.
- Check the mod's posts section for any compatibility notes with other bobblehead mods.
