📋 About This Mod
The Fallout London variant can be found here: Leveled Item Fixes (LIF) - Fallout London Edition
Vanilla leveled item (LVLI) lists can be quite finicky sometimes. And when mod authors add their items to them, expecting them to work in a certain way while they actually behave different from expected — combined with the fact that scripted injections can't be easily reverted — then that can result in a mess. This mod tries to simplify that process and giving both mod authors and users more control over it.
As a mod user you don't have to do anything to achieve that, just install the mod and forget about it. It does its job automatically. But you can always use its holotape or optional MCM to make some individual changes.
And as a mod author you can make use of the additional LVLI forms, but that's entirely optional. You can also just ignore them and simply benefit from the fixed and improved vanilla forms without the need to alter/override anything on your end.
In general this mod covers mostly weapon- (incl. ammo and explosives) and armour-related (incl. power armour) LVLI forms because they are the most common target for scripted injections.
[]All LVLI fixes from the Unofficial Fallout 4 Patch are included / got forwarded and are stand-alone - you don't have to have UFO4P installed for them to apply.[/]
[]A custom solution for some of the wastelander/settler outfit and associated LVLI forms was implemented that overrides the Unofficial Patch's changes to those same forms. This was done to fix those forms, and at the same time prevent UFO4P from making the game spawn all sorts of carbon-copy wastelanders/settlers. It also makes other mods, that inject some of their equipment into the vanilla LVLI that were removed by UFO4P as well, remain fully functional.[/]
[]Fixed "Tessa's Fist" unique PA piece, making it use the correct armour piece with the correct attachment.[/]
[]Fixed "Piezonucleic Power Armor Chest" so that it can spawn in other variants than T-45 and T-51 as intended.[/]
[]Most LVLI used for custom/unique item assembly were reworked to no longer use other nested LVLI. They became stand-alone and directly reference a respective item. Other mods (especially item replacers using LVLI for the replacement) can no longer break the assembly of those items.[/]
[]LVLI specific to Super Mutant weaponry got their own set of unique nested forms so that Super Mutants are no longer negatively affected by weapon mods that lack animations for Super Mutants, incl. weapon replacers that implement their replacements via LVLI. This makes it also easier for mod authors to target certain faction-specific LVLI.[/]
[*]Removed unnecessary/redundant Override Names from LVLI forms if the associated item form either contains the desired name

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community-approved with 7,418 endorsements and over 1.1 million downloads.
- Addresses a core game mechanic—loot tables—making loot drops more consistent and logical.
- Offers customization via holotape and MCM, giving you control over DLC item distribution.
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated May 2026—may not be compatible with future game updates or DLC.
- Requires the Mod Configuration Menu for full customization, which is an extra dependency.
- As a bug-fix mod, it doesn't add new content—if you're looking for new items, this isn't it.
For Fallout 4 players who are tired of inconsistent loot drops and want a more balanced experience. Also for modders who want a solid foundation for their own leveled list tweaks. Skip if you prefer vanilla loot randomness or want new content rather than fixes.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Use a mod manager like Vortex or Mod Organizer 2 to install LIF and its dependencies—this avoids manual file placement errors.
- If you use other mods that alter leveled lists, load LIF after them so its fixes take priority.
- Check the in-game holotape to adjust DLC item distribution to your liking—it's the quickest way to tailor the mod.
