  1. Introduction Have you ever wanted to have your own radio station in Fallout 4? In this tutorial, I will go through the process of creating your very own radio station in the Fallout 4 Creation Kit. This guide is intended for those without a lot of experience with the Creation Kit, so I will take things one step at a time. Once you're done, I have uploaded the file I used in this example so you may compare it if you are having troubles. The example "songs" are just me recording myself counting 1-9.

  Required Tools:

  • []Fallout 4 Creation Kit (You will need to download via the Bethesda.net launcher. Find the link for "Bethesda.net Launcher" in the article and download) []Audacity (For editing your sound files) []Nexus Mod Manager
  2. Setting Up Your Music The Fallout 4 Creation Kit is very picky with the kind of music files it allows. It will only accept .wav files, so if you will need to convert your .mp3 files into .wav using Audacity.

  Steps

  • []Open your music file with Audacity. [](Optional) Play your song and make sure you're happy with the volume. If it's too loud or too quiet, go to Effects->Amplify. You will be prompted with a slider for how much to increase or decrease the volume. A positive number means make it louder, negative means make it quieter, and 0 means do nothing. The larger the number, the more noticeable of a change the volume will be, so you should start with small numbers first (I prefer 1-5 to start off). []Go to File->Export and navigate to your Fallout 4 directory (Probably under steamapps for Windows users) and navigate to \Data\Sound\fx\mus\radio. From here, create a new folder. It can be any name you want, but the name should be similar to the name of the mod. For example if your mod is "My Radio" you should name the folder somewhere along the lines of MyRadio.
  • IMPORTANT Fallout 4 only recognizes .wav files in a 16-bit format. Save your music in this format inside the folder you just created.
  Repeat this process for every song you have.

  3. Starting Up The Creation Kit Once you have the Creation Kit downloaded and installed, you can either launch it via the Bethesda.net launcher or click on the CreationKit.exe file in your main Fallout 4 directory. Once it's started, go to File->Data and do
