📋 About This Mod
What is this?
For some reason, a few companions didn't follow the proper “firstname lastname” naming scheme used by the majority of companions. This mod fixes that for companions that have a confirmed last name.
I also uploaded an alternate main file that allows you to pick custom names for every companion in the game. This works with Standard or Headcanon Edition if Custom Edition is loaded afterwards. Custom Edition is also compatible with my other mod, Robot Curie to C. V. R. I. E. - Robco Patcher, if this mod is loaded after it and a custom name for Synth Curie is set, and a custom name for Robot Curie is NOT set in this mod.
ESPless. Powered by Robco Patcher. Pick ONE main file.
Install or uninstall at any time. Compatible with everything. For now, to reset a companion’s name to vanilla use the custom edition and rename them to their vanilla name in it. I’ll upload a vanilla revert edition soon.
Because I love consistency and customization.
