Turn off the radio...all of them!

[DracoInvictus1]

Hey everyone, had another video demonetized because of the stupid radios playing music in the background.

Would there be a way to turn off every radio in the game? and yes, before you say it, I have the radio audio setting turned all the way down, but that turns down the volume on your pip-boy radio...it doesn't seem to have an effect on radios in the world space.

This is a part of modding that I've never even thought about looking at, and don't even know where to start.

Anyone offer any suggestions, thoughts???

Thanks.

If you want radios to be initially disabled/off, best way to do this (if you want to make a mod with the creation kit or FO4Edit) is to find the radio in question under "Activator" and if you open its entry, there's a checkbox at the bottom right for "Starts Active" that you'll uncheck. Two radios that should cover most of them are "RadioDiamondCityReceiver" and "RadioInstituteReceiver".

That may only affect radios that have not spawned in your save yet. So be aware of that.

If you want to remove music from radios to avoid copyright hits on YT, there is already a mod that does this:

Seems to replace the music files with silent versions. I've seen streamers use this or something similar. Seems a better solution than mucking about with the base activators.

Maybe this could be done through a mod. Add an "EMP emitter" of sorts. It goes through all activators around you, checks if there are radios, and turns them off.
