📋 About This Mod
This mod will allow you to see Magazines, Bobbleheads, Plans, Recipes, Nuka Colas, Sugar Bombs and Cap Stashes from a considerable distance and even through the obstacles. Just fast travel to a location, do a quick 360 mouselook and you'll know instantly whether you should search for either of them or not!
Back in the days I received a lot of feedback about markers cluttering people's camps because of the displayed magazines and other consumables.
With this mod ALL markers will fade away in a minute or two (depending on which option you downloaded), so now your screen will be free of clutter after a short while. They also stop spinning after a while before completely disappearing to be even less distracting.
If for some reason you haven't managed to get to the item and its marker disappeared leaving you clueless to where it was, just fast travel somewhere and back to the location in question and you'll see the markers again.

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons

- Multiple fade timer options (1, 2, or 5 minutes) let you tailor the mod to your playstyle.
- Markers work through obstacles, so you can spot loot without scouring every corner.
⚠️ Cons
- Markers fading can leave you clueless if you don't reach the item in time, though fast travel resets them.
- No clear instructions for checking if the mod is compatible with the latest game version after the 2026 update.
- Requires manual extraction of BA2 files, which might be tricky for modding newcomers.
For Fallout 76 players who hate missing bobbleheads or magazines and want a heads-up before exploring a location. Perfect for completionists and loot hoarders. Skip if you prefer a pure vanilla experience without any marker tweaks.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Extract the BA2 files directly into your Fallout76/Data folder—no mod manager needed, but make sure to back up any existing files.
- If markers fade before you grab the item, just fast travel to a nearby location and back to reset them.
- Try the 5-minute fade option first if you're exploring large areas; it gives you more time to reach the loot.
