📋 About This Mod
Sick of everyone in the wasteland being named Settler, Raider, Scavenger, Gunner or Synth? Me to! I made this mod to fix that. Now as you travel around, these generic NPCs will get a name. It adds to immersion because now VATS will will show a name instead of a generic name you know is an enemy. Best of all, thanks to F4SE, you can create your own list of names to use if you desire. This mod adds functionality to Rename Anything adding an Auto Rename System and manually renaming things without console commands. This is all done without editing any vanilla records, all thanks to the magic of F4SE.
If you are not comfortable with installing F4SE plugins, you may want to turn back now. (Vortex and MO2 can install these)
