✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Huge community approval (4,177 endorsements) — clearly a must-have for settlement builders.
- Saves you the hassle of tracking down wandering settlers just to sell your junk.
- Tiny mod, no bloat — does exactly what it says and nothing else.
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in 2018 — may have compatibility issues with newer game patches or DLC.
- Only affects buying, not selling — you still need a vendor for that.
For Fallout 4 settlement builders who are tired of chasing settlers around to buy stuff. If you rely on shops for income or resources, this is a no-brainer. Skip if you never use settlement shops or want more complex trade mechanics.
💡 Beginner Tips
- If you use a mod manager like Vortex, just download and enable — no load order tweaks needed.
- Make sure your shop is actually open (assigned settler and powered) for the mod to work.
- This mod doesn't affect selling, so keep a vendor assigned if you want to offload gear.
