Uneducated Reload
When you reload a gun, the bullet stays in the chamber so you should be getting an extra round.
In Fallout 4 however, you don't.
This plugin aims to fix that issue and adds one round to the ammo count when you do a partial reload.
I might add more features in the future but that's all for now.
BUT not all guns should do this either. Let's say: a revolver.
You shouldn't be getting an extra round with revolvers.
I tried to come up with a way to figure out the patterns but it's just a case-by-case thing.
So, I've added a keyword in UneducatedReload.esm called ChamberExclusion.
Add this keyword to the guns that shouldn't get an extra round using FO4Edit.

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community-tested with 563 endorsements and over 13k downloads
- Simple concept that adds a subtle tactical advantage
- Tiny plugin that won't bloat your load order
⚠️ Cons
- Only works with F4SE, so you're locked out if you're on the Epic Games version or don't want to use script extender
- Last updated in 2022, so it might not be compatible with the latest Fallout 4 patches
- The extra bullet might feel cheesy for purists who want a more hardcore experience
For Fallout 4 players who use F4SE and want a small quality-of-life tweak that rewards partial reloads. It's perfect for those who like to top off their magazine mid-fight and want a little extra ammo. Skip if you're on a non-F4SE setup or prefer unmodified gameplay.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure you have F4SE installed and launch the game through the F4SE loader, not the default launcher.
- If you're using a mod manager like Vortex or MO2, install the plugin through the manager to keep your load order clean.
- Check the mod's posts or comments for any known compatibility notes with other F4SE plugins.
