notes:

You can find Nate's holotape on the kitchen counter after talking to Codsworth. Reading any entry will trigger his quest. If you are using a compatible version, it will be generated in your inventory when you enter Sanctuary Hills. If the holotape does not generate, open the console and type 'help nate 4', find NOTE Nate's Journal and note its ID, then type 'player.additem <holotape ID> 1' (the ID changes between versions).

In terms of affinity, Nate enjoys being compassionate and helpful, sarcastic, modifying weapons and armor, collecting comics, helping with settlements, and healing Dogmeat (installing Everyone's Best Friend). He dislikes selfishness and rudeness, chemical use, chemical addiction, stealing, pickpocketing, picking his own locks, and refusing to help with settlements. He hates murder and cannibalism. You can support any faction without causing opposition.

If you are using a male player character, running an alternate launch mode, or using Sanctuary mods, I recommend downloading the compatibility patch. You don't need to change Nora to make Nate appear and he will have the default appearance. This version also does not disable spouse corpses due to conflicts with Start Me Up.

To change Nate's appearance (does not apply to compatibility patches), you need to change his templated actor first. Open the console and type "player.placeatme 000A7D34" (minus the quotes). This will produce the original Nate; still click on him in the console to get his refID and enter 'slm <refID> 1'. Modify it as needed, then open the console and type "disable". Now click on companion Nate and enter 'slm <refID> 1' (use companion Nate's refID, which changes between versions) and the changes will continue.

compatibility:

Any mod that modifies Vault 111 runs the risk of being incompatible with Dual Survivor. Some users are still reporting issues launching me. Some users have also reported compatibility issues with Unlimited Companion Framework.

AdditionalDialogue.esp modifies a large number of quests that may conflict with any mods that alter the same quests. For a complete list of …
