Looking for a mod to flesh out those unnamed NPCs

[thetracker3]

So, I posted to reddit looking for a mod that breaths some life into those Megaton Settlers and Tenpenny Tower Residents, and they said to come here. Well this was my second choice. Anyway, I'm hoping there's a mod out there that gives some life to these unnamed NPCs in the wasteland. Like it gives them names, a story, a personality. Maybe even makes them into possible companions (that's not really required, I have a mod for making almost anyone a companion).

 

I was wondering if a mod like this exists, because I saw a Megaton Settler one day, and I starting asking: "Why is Mr. Megaton Settler HERE. Story-wise, why is he using that leadpipe, sitting there at the brass lantern, complaining that he can't even afford some damn squirrel stew, why is he wearing the Merc Grunt outfit, and how can I, the greatest person in the wasteland, help him with his goals in this terrible life?"

There are a bunch of NPC mods on the Nexus, just do a general search for "NPC" and you should see 2-3 pages worth. I use one for Megaton... it names all the NPCs but thats pretty much it. You would be hard pressed I think to find a mod that gives each NPC a story.

As much as I'd like stories for some NPCs, I think names will do. Its better than nothing I suppose (you can tell I'm kind of unhappy with the results. but I'm no good at modding, I don't know anyone good at modding (at least personally), so there's not much I can do). Thanks though.

The "Named Wasteland" combined version is a good start for your objective.

Mod made by "Fascistinabag" I believe.

Using the FOMM or FO3edit, you can take a look at this mod to easily see exactly what was changed, to whom, and in what locations.

I'm already using it, and while it isn't EXACTLY what I'm looking for, it gives me a start. Names are the hardest part of creating a character, so this mod giving names to the NPCs means I can create my own backstory for them without worrying about getting stuck on their name. I tried doing this before, using the SetActorFullName thing, but it didn't last when I reloaded the save. I think I've rambled a bit too much, so I'm done.
