You made it and sneaked through all those Legendary-Gunners and ... your Companion coughed again?
OR finally you made it and the PA looks the way YOU want but they scatch or destroy them all the time?
"Noodles" lost her gun again and she cries "need help over here"?
Old Hancock gets crippled over and over again and sometimes he looses his arm or leg?
You read thousands of "Live & Love"-Books but nothing changed?
This has now an END!

📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Huge community trust with 1,304 endorsements and almost 800k downloads — this mod is battle-tested.
- Removes the most annoying companion quirks: no more ammo management, no more crippled limbs, no more lost weapons.
- Sneak perks on companions actually make stealth builds viable without babysitting your AI partner.
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated March 2025 — if you're on a newer game patch, check compatibility before installing.
- Unlimited ammo might feel cheaty for survival purists who enjoy resource management.
For Fallout 4 players who love having companions but hate micromanaging their gear and stats. Perfect for stealth-focused builds or anyone who wants companions to feel like capable partners, not liabilities. Skip if you enjoy the challenge of keeping your companions stocked and protected.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Use a mod manager like Vortex or Mod Organizer 2 to install — it's a simple plugin, but manual install can lead to load order issues.
- If you're on PC, make sure your game is updated to the version this mod was last tested on (March 2025) to avoid conflicts.
- Pair this with a companion overhaul mod for even more control over their behavior.
