In a way, this is almost like making synths at a certain meta level. I did not test their interactions with radiant quests, and if they can be the local 'contact' for the minutemen, or be kidnap victims. There is always some risk in doing stuff like this, however small. They seem to always have WorkshopAllowCommand enabled. The settlers you already moved will behave normally, though. You must re-add each workshop keyword after reloading the area. The Covenant NPC may be KOS to you depending on your choices, not really sure. It also probably works with named NPCs (eg, Kessler in Bunker Hill) I did not have any luck doing this with non-settler NPCs they didn't appear to have the settler behaviors. From the above table, that's five possibilities, about as much variance as the default random settlers have. This is actually sort of convenient, as you can make appearance 'templates', one for each unique default NPC. So in the above example, aceatme 156a12 4 means all four settlers will share the same appearance, and changing it for one changes it for all of them. You can reset their appearance by choosing a default face.Īll settlers with the same RefID share the same appearance. Note the camera is locked, so first entering tgp to pause/unpause the game may be useful.Įdit their appearance as desired and finalize using the normal UI for slm, which is what you used to create your character at the beginning of the game. Type the command slm 1 in the console to edit their appearance. With the console open, target each NPC to get its ref ID, or use the above table. You can now command them or trade with them. Now, use Workshop mode to move them to the desired settlement. With the console open, target each of them and type addkeyword workshopallowmove. * (note: the generic settler is the normal random race/gender one the game creates for you, and is not customizable)Įxample: aceatme 156a12 4 places four customizable Nordhagen settlers at your location. You'll find some I noted in the table below. These can be spawned multiple times and assigned to any settlement.įirst, you'll need the base ID. There are default settlers at specific locations that do have appearances you can customize with slm. Or make them more grimey, if that's your thing.

Alas, you can never get rid of the grimey faces or change some of the terrible hair. 'If you've used the command showlooksmenu in the console, you know it works on some NPCs, but not generic settlers. It' a tedious method, but nonetheless, it works. Actually, you can edit settlers appearance.
