About this mod Machine translation
The full conversation interface mod replaces some files in the data/strings folder in order to run. With the recent update 1.10.2, you will find that some new Creative Club content will have LOOKUP FAILED! instead of the correct name. This mod will replace the string with an updated version to correct the problem.
See our guide below on how to create your own string files (thanks to Crimsomrider for the original text) or just download the latest version.
Here’s how to fix LOOKUP FAILED error.

- Select the Fallout4_en.STRINGS file that was previously deleted from the data folder
- A new popup will open, select everything and accept

- After this process, delete the obsolete string files from the desktop that you moved from the DATA folder and you are done.
Install & use Install: follow the bundled instructions
- Unzip the archive from playbuff and read the bundled readme / instructions first.
- There is no universal mod manager for this game: some mods replace game files directly, some go into a game-specific Mods folder, and some need a game-specific community loader or tool first — follow the bundled readme.
- Place the files exactly as the readme says; mods with listed dependencies need those installed too.
- Launch the game to confirm it loaded; some games require enabling mods in settings or an in-game mod menu.
Install locations vary a lot between games and mods — the bundled readme is the most reliable guide.
