What exactly this mod is doing? Here's the answer: I always thought it was stupid to have us roaming the Commonwealth, meeting with people, helping them, befriending them, but at the end, being unable to even know their names, because almost everyone in the game, be it a settler or a town inhabitant is only designated by the generic name "settler".

If you want to truly connect with people and care for them, you must be able to know their names, right?

Before going further, for french players, the french original version of the mod can be found here: Les gens ont un nom

I) Latests news

-- The update 3. 2. 9 is now available (15/12/2018) --

-- The chest who contained the Enhanced settlers perk book is now back to its place, the document who warned the player about what was inside the chest is now bigger --

-- Glory can now be relooked --

Nuka-World AND Far Harbor are mandatory for this mod.

Because it modifies a lot of NPC's, among them, some quest givers, I strongly recommend you to put the . Esp file at the bottom of your load order.

To be honest, it shouldn't cause any issues, but since it modifies a lot of NPC's, it's best to take precautions.

Before going into the details of the mod, I recommend you the excellent Immersive settlers by marmo1233.

This mod will automatically rename every settler generated by the recruitment beacon and makes a perfect complement to my mod, as they together cover everything: my mod covering all the NPC's already present in the game, and Marmo's mod covering all the NPC's who will be generated.

Of course, these two mods are perfectly compatible.

II) Description of the mod.

As explained above, I always thought it was stupid to make you roam the Commonwealth, saving people, but being at the end unable to form a connection with them because they didn't even have a name.

This is now over ! People in the Commonwealth and beyond have now a proper identity !

But because the people living in the wastes are not a monolithic group, their names must reflect the differences there are between them, let's see that in detail below:
