📋 About This Mod
Another esp I made for myself on a whim.
Doesn't remove the book. You can still find it in your game and do whatever you wish with it. You just don't NEED to have it in your inventory when you want to craft DX armor. I mean, you still can if you want to... but why?
AIO version now available in Optional files for supported armors.
Credits - Thanks to DeserterX for making the armor in the first place.
This mod removes the requirement of having the Crafting Manual in your inventory to craft DX armor in Fallout 4. It's a simple QoL tweak for players who find the manual taking up valuable inventory space. The mod is ESL-flagged, meaning it won't count against your mod limit. With 154 endorsements and over 21,000 downloads, it's a popular fix for a common annoyance.
✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Simple and effective QoL fix—no more carrying that manual around.
- ESL-flagged, so it won't eat into your mod slot budget.
- Community-tested with 154 endorsements and 21k downloads.
⚠️ Cons
- Only affects DX armor crafting—if you don't use that armor, this mod does nothing for you.
- Last updated in 2022, so it may not be compatible with the latest game patches or other mods.
- Potential conflicts with mods that alter the crafting requirements for DX armor.
For Fallout 4 players who craft DX armor and are tired of lugging around the Crafting Manual. If you're a completionist or use DX armor regularly, this is a must-have. Skip if you don't use DX armor or prefer to keep the manual requirement for immersion.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Since it's ESL-flagged, you can install it with any mod manager without worrying about your load order limit.
- Make sure you have the DX armor mod installed, as this only removes the book requirement for that armor.
- If you're using a mod that changes crafting recipes, load this mod after it to ensure the requirement removal takes effect.
