Settler Renaming - Rename Settlers and NPCs

-- READ THIS FIRST --

I am no longer active as a modder, and this mod is no longer maintained! It was created in the early days of Fallout 4, before F4SE. There are now better ways to handle renaming in the game. I recommend registrator2000's fantastic mod Rename Anything.

This is a mod combined with a number of batch commands that lets you rename your followers. It uses the console commands SetActorFullName together with separately made Message (MESG) strings (not default ones made by Bethesda). I would turn this into a pure mod if I could, but until the Creation Kit/GECK is released, using batch files is the easiest solution. At least together with my mod it's possible to use names that are not originally in the game.

Names are offered in seperate packs that you can choose when you do the NMM install, if you just feel like using a couple of the names and not fill your Data folder with batch files. If you feel like a name is missing, leave a comment and I'll include it in the list.

How to use the mod

Any use of this mod is done at your own risk. I cannot be held responsible if you accidentally rename yourself or a named NPC or if you're not able to rename a settler back to it's original name. The modding possibilities at the moment are limited and bugs may occur. Know one knows exactly how the game works in all situations at the moment.

1. Make sure the mod is installed and the esp is active.

2. Launch the game, open up the console and click on the settler you want to rename.

!!! Be careful when renaming named NPCs (whose name isn't settler), as it can be really hard to get the original name back.

See the Known Issues section for more information. !!!

3. Write one of the bat commands (see section Bat commands near the bottom for codes) depending on which name you want.

If you chose to install the optional command help bats:

type bat srHelp in the console to get lists of available names and commands while in game.
