📋 About This Mod
A few days ago as of writing this, my mother died from a sudden brain haemorrhage. The way I've supported myself for the last 20 years was to do IT and computer stuff for her small business. I have no support system, and I need a new one. I don't want to beg, and I don't want charity. So instead I'll just have to do the one thing I've always been good at, namely, modding.

All proceeds beyond cost of living will go towards funding cooler projects, and even bigger mods. You can also gain the opportunity to influence my work in several ways. I apologise for going all PBS on you, but I see no other way out of this.

UPDATE:
I'm going to take a slight break from Real. AI to do some more work on my other mod, OBIV Statesec. This is the mod where I've learned the most about Fallout 4's AI and NPC behaviour, and if you ever want to see some of my more crazy/transformative changes to NPCs, then give it a try. I overhaul just about everything from AI, to animations, to blood/bleeding effects and even add new features such as emittance data and custom voices. It's fun if you want to play something other than Fallout 4. Getting the newest version on discord is recommended if you decide to check it out.
Here's a little showcase.

Welcome to Real. AI. The product of several of my unreleased/discontinued projects and several years of research into Bethesda's AI system going all the way back to my days learning how to mod Morrowind.
There aren't a lot of people who have made AI mods for Bethesda

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Huge community trust: 2,717 endorsements and over 200k downloads.
- Targets a core gameplay aspect—NPC behavior—which can drastically improve immersion.
- Last updated in 2023, so it's relatively recent and likely compatible with current game versions.
⚠️ Cons
- Potential compatibility issues with other mods that alter NPC AI, though not explicitly stated.
For Fallout 4 players who want more lifelike NPCs and are tired of robotic AI. If you're a modder who likes to tweak things, this could be a solid base. Skip if you need detailed documentation or prefer gameplay overhauls with clear feature lists.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Since no install instructions are given, use a mod manager like Vortex or Mod Organizer 2 to avoid manual file placement errors.
- Check the mod's posts section on Nexus for user-reported compatibility with other AI mods.
- Load order matters: place REAL.AI early in your load order to let other mods overwrite if needed.
