TaIia Posted November 12, 2017 Share Posted November 12, 2017 Is it possible, and if so, relatively easy, to replace the load screens with custom backgrounds? There were a few for New Vegas, but I haven't come across many for FO4, so I don't know if it's just something nobody has bothered doing, or if it's not possible (or incredibly difficult).

JackRob Posted November 13, 2017 Share Posted November 13, 2017 (edited) If I remember correctly, New Vegas' loading screens were just that, pictures/textures that you could simply replace or add to if you wanted to, like Fallout 3's. Fallout 4's loading screens adopts Skyrim's loading screen of a camera focused on a single .nif (aka a 3D mesh with texture, whether it be a single entity or a custom scene), and as far as I can tell you can't change the default black background. It seems possible however to fix the camera onto a "picture" to act as a background, but as mentioned before this picture would have to be created as a 3D model .nif to be used. Once you're able to make the creation kit recognize your loading screen .nif, it's pretty simple to set up a loading screen with it once you tweak the direction of the camera the way you'd want it. Overall its not too difficult if you're a 3D artist and/or have experience messing with .nifs, but definitely not easy otherwise.
