📋 About This Mod
New quest to take Switchboard back with 3 radiant quests and Full Settlement Workshop.
Vortex Install Instructions:
Download with manager and install.
Vortex tends to put mods into default Loadorder group.
That means if use prp vortex load my mod before prp.
Need to change my mod to late group or previs group and a custom rule so it loads after prp.
MO2 Install Instructions:
Download, install and activate.
Manual Install Instructions:
Download and unzip to Fallout 4\ folder e.g. C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Fallout 4\
Finish Tradecraft and visit the Institute to get new quest from Agent Ashburn in HQ.
Once you have new Switchboard claim the workbench and get new quests from Ashburn.
Settlement attacks are disabled at Switchboard. Most stuff is scrapable.
NPCs and player are voiced using vanilla sound files via Voice File Reference Tool 2.
Has 3 Radiant quest. 2 are only for Railroad, save synths and dead drop missions.
Saved synth are settlers and will go to Switchboard, you can send them elsewhere.
Scavenge Pre-war tech for ALL factions via terminal.
You need to kill Agent Ashburn to get access to faction menu.

New Idle markers.
Blood decals in old Switchboard.
Map marker after you finish main mission.
ELFX compatible.
New game is recommended but not needed, depending on your quest stages Synths during Tradecraft quest can fight each other.
I am using different template so you will not be enemy with Institute. But original Synth can be already spawned in your save file.
No mod or DLC is needed.
Recommended mods:
Glitchfinder made an excellent mod called Blood Fixes, should fix the missing blood decals. If you miss them try reload save.
Keep Radiants in the Commonwealth or use my patch.

Switchboard Reborn adds a new quest to reclaim the Switchboard, plus 3 radiant quests and full settlement workshop support. With 88 endorsements and 15,760 downloads, it's a niche quest mod for Fallout 4 players seeking more Railroad content and settlement building options.
✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Decent community traction with 88 endorsements and over 15k downloads
- Combines quest content with settlement building, giving you more to do after the main quest
- Radiant quests add replayability for those who enjoy repeatable missions
⚠️ Cons
- Only 88 endorsements out of 15k downloads suggests some players may have had issues or moved on
- Quest mods can conflict with other mods that alter the Switchboard or Railroad questline
- No details on quest length or quality, so you're going in blind
For Fallout 4 players who want to revisit the Switchboard and turn it into a player settlement. Also for Railroad fans who want more content tied to that faction. Skip if you're not interested in settlement building or if you're looking for a large, story-heavy quest mod.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure you've completed the main Railroad questline before installing to avoid conflicts with the Switchboard's story state.
- If you're using a mod manager like Vortex, let it handle load order automatically, but place this mod after other Railroad-related mods.
- After installing, fast travel away and back to the Switchboard to ensure the settlement workshop activates properly.
