📋 About This Mod

28/08/2026 - Updated for Fallout 4 version 1. 11. 240 - "Anniversary Edition"

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Full Dialogue Interface mod replaces some files in the data/strings folder in order to function. With the recent update 1. 10. 2 you will find that some of the new Creation Club content will have LOOKUP FAILED! instead of the proper name. This mod will replace the strings with updated versions to correct the issue.

If you install this mod after getting LOOKUP FAILED! errors in your game, it may be necessary to drop/pick up the item or put it into a container or add/remove a mod at the respective crafting station to get the game to regenerate the correct name.

Thanks for the positive comments and endorsements, I really appreciate them! :-)

Download the latest version of the mod from the files tab and make sure it runs AFTER Full Dialogue Interface, You don't need to follow the guide below!
