📋 About This Mod

Install with Vortex or Fallout 76 Quick Configuration

Manual Install: Open the archive and drop the Strings folder into Steam/steamapps/common/Fallout76/Data

Remove by deleting the strings folder.

If you aren't using a mod manager you need to set up Fallout 76 to load loose files.

  • []Open Documents/My Games/Fallout 76/Fallout76.ini (will have a notepad icon and say INI File in the Type column) and under

    change sResourceDataDirsFinal = TERRAIN\ to sResourceDataDirsFinal = STRINGS\, TERRAIN\

I really liked the item tags from Kit's Killer Strings but could never get used to the Food/Drink sorting by buffs, and while his icon version has much better sorting, not everyone want to go through the process that requires. Though if you don't mind, I do recommend it, he put a lot of work into it.

I originally used Ratmonkey's and tried Lyravega's, but while each did something I liked they didn't do everything I would prefer. After seeing Stas Nobody's Tagged Plans mod and checking it out with xTranslate I decided to spend a week making my own sorting mod for my personal tastes.

Everything but plan sorting is done with my own custom xTranslate rules, so no one else's assets besides Stas Nobody's Tagged Plans were used, and even those I heavily modified over several days based on the current Plan & Mod Database and other datamines.

In addition to the sorting tags listed below, most Aid items have their buffs appended to the end of their names, such as (Chem) Psychotats {DMG+25%|DR+15|P-3}.

Bethesda programmed the Aid strings to only show so many characters. I've shortened as many buff tags and names as possible while making sense, but there's still room for improvement. Please bug report any cut off names or tags.

And on top of all of that, all the Pioneer Scout exam correct answers are marked with «+» at the end of the terminal entry.

Pro tip: Ctrl+Scroll Wheel will scroll an entire page at a time in the Pip-Boy for when you need to scroll a lot, like all the (Known)

plans at a vendor.

Note: An Asterix At The End Of Any Tag Means It's Untradeable (Destroys On Drop)

  • []Any Plans You Have That Are Still Named "Plan:" or "Recipe:" Are Not Obtainable In The Game, Meaning They Were Illicitly Obtained (OR I Missed Them After An Update).
