📋 About This Mod
PEOPLE ARE STRANGERS
JOIN ME ON FACEBOOK! JOIN ME ON YOUTUBE! AVAILABLE ON BETHESDA. NETTHIS MOD IS LIGHTWEIGHT AND COMPATIBLE WITH ANYTHING AND EVERYTHING. IT DOES AFFECT ALL NPCs EVEN FROM OTHER MODS.
It will work retroactively: if you use this mod on your current game, people you already have talked to will not be called "Stranger".
I will probabky make more Fallout 4 mods, but as my computer is becoming quite old, I will have difficulty testing them. This is why I have been looking for a job IRL: to get funds for a new computer (and a new home, and a potential future baby, and who cares 'bout my life).
Here is the mighty wall of donators. See below for some videos from the Skyrim version (waiting for some reviewers to review the Fallout 4 version, counting on you guys :D ) WiGvf6lgljsNwy1LYOdQOY

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community-approved with 935 endorsements and nearly 18k downloads
- Lightweight and does exactly what it says—no bloat
- Great for roleplayers who want to discover NPCs naturally
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in 2016—might not work with current game patches or DLC
- Only affects name display, not dialogue or gameplay systems
- No documentation on compatibility or install instructions
For Fallout 4 roleplayers who want a more organic first encounter with NPCs. If you're tired of knowing every settler's name before you've even said hi, this is for you. Skip if you want deeper immersion mechanics—this is purely cosmetic.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Since it's a simple esp, just drop it into your Data folder and enable it in your mod manager.
- If you use other mods that change NPC names, load this one after them to ensure it takes effect.
- Test in a new game or a save before meeting new NPCs to see the effect clearly.
