📋 About This Mod
Transferrable Caps by RowanSkie
A small mod that edits Nuka-Cola, Vim!, and relevant Beer bottles to stop you from directly giving you the bottlecaps for payment.
You could do it like Fallout 1 and trade with them, or convert them to the game's actual Bottlecap system via the Chem Bench.
It also includes two loading screens in case you want lore justification.
Good for mods like this one: Commonwealth coin Bottlecap Replacer
Conflict Warning:
This mod may conflict with everything related to Nuka-Cola, Vim!, and Beer. Unofficial Fallout 4 Patch patch included. Obsolete by using RobCo Patcher.

[]Replace bottlecaps found in Far Harbor with Vim! bottlecaps.
[
]Give the Nuka-Cola bottlecap a separate mesh for replacers as mentioned above.Thanks to Gizmo for the Vim! and beer bottlecap textures.
Transferrable Caps changes Nuka-Cola, Vim!, and beer bottles in Fallout 4 so consuming them no longer directly grants bottlecaps. Empty bottles become tradeable items, with caps obtained by bartering or converting them at a chem bench. Includes two lore loading screens and a UFO4P patch. For players wanting a Fallout 1-style bottlecap economy, especially with Commonwealth coin Bottlecap Replacer.
✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Turns Fallout 4's instant cap gain into a Fallout 1-style trade economy.
- Includes a Unofficial Fallout 4 Patch patch, so it works alongside the most popular fix mod.
- Still pulled 1,507 downloads despite only 5 endorsements, so the niche idea has real interest.
⚠️ Cons
- Conflicts with most mods that touch Nuka-Cola, Vim!, or beer records, so you'll need careful load ordering.
- Doesn't yet replace Far Harbor bottlecaps with Vim! caps, leaving DLC areas inconsistent.
- No separate Nuka-Cola bottlecap mesh yet, so replacer mods like Commonwealth coin won't get full visual swaps.
For Fallout 4 players who want a more old-school bottlecap economy like Fallout 1/2. Also for fans of Commonwealth coin Bottlecap Replacer who want matching cap handling. Skip if you use RobCo Patcher or heavy Nuka-Cola/Vim! overhaul mods.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Load this after any mod that changes Nuka-Cola, Vim!, or beer records; if you use RobCo Patcher, this mod is obsolete.
- Use the chem bench to convert empty bottles into caps instead of drinking them for instant cap gain.
- If pairing with Commonwealth coin Bottlecap Replacer, check load order so cap replacer meshes don't overwrite bottle records.
