📋 About This Mod
About this mod:

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Huge community trust: 2,704 endorsements and 241k downloads show this fix is a must-have.
- Solves a game-breaking bug that can halt trading entirely.
- Actively updated (May 2026), so it's likely compatible with current game patches.
⚠️ Cons
- Requires F4SE, so you need to install and maintain that framework.
- Only addresses one specific bug—if you have other vendor issues, this won't help.
For Fallout 4 players who've encountered empty vendor lists and want a reliable fix. Essential for modded playthroughs where F4SE is already installed. Skip if you never trade with vendors or play without F4SE.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure F4SE is installed and launched via f4se_loader.exe, not the default launcher, or the mod won't work.
- Place the plugin in your Data folder or use a mod manager like Vortex to handle installation.
- If vendors still show empty lists after installing, check your load order and ensure no other mods conflict with vendor lists.
