📋 About This Mod
This mod adds 1000 workshop NPCs (500 male, 500 female). There is a Far Harbor version adding another 200 NPCs (100 male, 100 female). Because each has a unique reference ID, this allows you to modify each of them with the looks menu to customize them to your tastes unlike regular random settlers. They are protected (only you can kill them), can be fully commanded, and use the same workshop script as regular settlers. As such, they should function in every way like regular settlers, except that you can customize them!
Use ESP version if you don't know what ESL is or how to use it.
Install only one of the main files. There is an ESP and ESL version for each no-DLC and Far Harbor versions. ESP is the normal version and works like all the mods you're used to installing. The ESL version is the new 'light archive' file type and doesn't count against the 255 ESP file limit. Use ESL if you have tons of mods and know what you're doing, otherwise, use the ESP version and save yourself trouble. For ESL, you'll need NMM 63. 17 to use ESL files without manually editing the plugins.txt file. That version of NMM has issues, which is why it hasn't been rolled out yet.

Adds 1000 unique workshop NPCs (500 male, 500 female) to Fallout 4, each with a unique reference ID so you can customize them via the looks menu. Ideal for players who want full control over settler appearance. Last updated in 2017, so compatibility with current game versions is uncertain.
✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Huge variety: 1000 NPCs means you'll never run out of settlers to customize.
- Unique reference IDs let you tweak each one individually—no more generic randos.
- Solid community backing with 1,836 endorsements and 47,509 downloads.
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in 2017—might be outdated for current game patches, so watch for issues.
- Large number of NPCs could impact performance in settlements with many settlers.
For Fallout 4 settlement builders who want to hand-craft every settler's look. If you're tired of the same random faces and want full control, this is your mod. Skip if you're fine with vanilla settlers or want gameplay changes—this is purely cosmetic.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Use the looks menu (press '~' to open console, click on NPC, type 'slm 1') to customize each settler's appearance.
- Place NPCs in settlements via the workshop menu—they'll appear under 'NPCs' or 'Misc'.
- If you're on PC, make sure you have the Far Harbor DLC if the mod requires it (description mentions 'Far' but is cut off).
