Floating Subtitles - All Runtimes is a UI mod for Fallout 4 that brings floating subtitle functionality to the pre-Next-Gen version (1.10.163).

With 103 endorsements and 9,299 downloads, it has a modest but active user base.
✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community-tested with 103 endorsements and 9,299 downloads.
- Brings a popular UI feature to players stuck on the pre-Next-Gen version.
- Lightweight and focused—does one thing well without bloating your load order.
⚠️ Cons
- Not for Next-Gen users—this is strictly for the older 1.10.163 patch.
- Some features are limited compared to the NG version, so expect minor differences.
- Compatibility risk with other UI mods that alter subtitle rendering or HUD elements.
For Fallout 4 players who are still on the pre-Next-Gen version and want floating subtitles without upgrading. Also for modders who need a UI enhancement that works with the older runtime. Skip if you're on the Next-Gen update or if you prefer traditional subtitle placement.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure your game version is exactly 1.10.163—this mod won't work on the Next-Gen update.
- Place this mod late in your load order to avoid conflicts with other UI overhauls.
- Test in dialogue-heavy areas first to see if the floating subtitles behave as expected.
