Final Notes and Tips:
I'll be uploading more saves as I progress in game with both vanilla characters, so I recommend to activate the tracking option from this mod page. The point of all this, besides a backup for future gameplays, is to have a stack of progressive saves without starting the game again and again. I'll be uploading these series of saves bearing in mind a guide to obtain a peaceful solution between the 3 factions and save the process at certain key points until reached "Institutionalized"mission.
Nate and Nora have 4 in every special attribute and their looks are vanilla presets. You can change that in the vault elevator. If you want to alter anything else without using mods I recommend you use Cheat Engine and pinospazzolino's FALLOUT 4 TRAINER, it has an option to enable console, so go to his page and give some kudos love.

No DLCs or Creation Club content required, making it a straightforward save pack for players wanting a fresh start or specific checkpoints.
✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Solid community trust with 255 endorsements and nearly 6k downloads.
- Covers both key early-game checkpoints and mid-game progression, so you can jump in where you want.
- No DLC or CC dependencies means it works for any vanilla install.
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in May 2020, so it might not be compatible with the latest game patches or mods that alter saves.
- Only goes up to 'Institutionalized'—if you want later story points, you're out of luck.
- Since it's a save file mod, it could conflict with other mods that change quest states or world data.
For Fallout 4 players who want a clean start without replaying the intro, or who want to jump into the story at specific checkpoints. Also handy for testing mods without committing to a full playthrough. Skip if you're looking for gameplay changes—this is purely save files.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure to back up your existing saves before overwriting, just in case you want to go back.
- Place the save files in your Documents/My Games/Fallout4/Saves folder.
- If you use mods that alter quests or the world, these saves might not reflect those changes, so test with a new character first.
