Universal Pyromaniac Buff for Fire Effects
Kids these days don't like reading, but nobody sober likes shitpost mod descriptions, so I'll try to find a middle ground.
As you might know, the Pyromaniac perk adds 50% weapon damage to fire-related weapons like the Flamer, etc. But the latest trend in the block is to consider the lingering fire effects these weapons also apply. Shouldn't those also be affected?
This mod does just so. It scans all fire effects in your game, and setups a system for them to apply EXTRA fire DIP when you have the Pyromaniac perk.
Nothing needs to be touched directly, everything is compatible.
Details for nerds:

[]This mod is an upgrade over the method included in Unofficial Patch NVSE Plus, which as of version 1. 2. 1, automatically recognizes and disables its own fix for Pyromaniac over this mod. Thanks PTWB!

]Keyword EffectPyromaniac is for the base effects that you want to benefit from the Pyromaniac perk when they are present in any kind of object or actor effect. - Keyword EffectPyromaniacEXCLUDE is for the object or actor effects you don't want to be affected by Pyromaniac.
Credit goes to Roy Batty, as far as I know he was the one who came up with this approach to Pyromaniac for ammo effects.
This Fallout 4 mod makes the Pyromaniac perk apply to all lingering fire damage from weapons and ammo, not just the base game's limited set. It's a compatibility-focused tweak for players who want their fire builds to feel more consistent. With 563 endorsements and a recent update, it's a well-received utility mod.
✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community-approved with 563 endorsements and over 319k downloads.
- Fixes a real gameplay inconsistency for fire-focused builds.
- Recent update (Feb 2024) shows the author is still maintaining it.
⚠️ Cons
- Requires the base game's Pyromaniac perk, so it's useless for non-fire builds.
For Fallout 4 players who love flame-based weapons and want their Pyromaniac perk to work on every fire effect, not just the vanilla ones. If you're a completionist or roleplayer who uses flamers, incendiary rounds, or molotovs, this mod is a must-have. Skip it if you don't invest in the Pyromaniac perk or prefer other damage types.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure you have the Pyromaniac perk unlocked in-game before expecting any changes.
- If you use a mod manager like Vortex or MO2, install this mod through it to avoid conflicts.
- This mod is purely a perk tweak, so it won't affect save files or require a new game.
