House rules

An F4SE plugin that exposes high-impact vanilla Fallout 4 settings via an MCM menu. The goal: to give you the tools to tweak vanilla mechanics so they fit into the flow of a modded game. Everything is a runtime adjustment to the engine's existing settings. There is no ESP and no fees for plug-in slots.

Prerequisites

Notes

The carry weight unlock and survival skill kill switch require a save reload after switching to take effect immediately. Otherwise they will be applied at the next opportunity of the manager script (in-game minutes).

The slider is triggered when the pause menu is closed. Size changes wait for the next consumable use, and the Pip-Boy tooltip caches the old value until then.
