Kit’s Killer Strings
Complete and total overhaul of the UI in Fallout 76 focusing on efficiency in inventory management, providing crucial information at a glance and lots of quality of life improvements.
Get to your important stuff faster and spend less time dealing with your inventory. Many bonus features like marked exam answers, easy flux id, and more!
Mod features
Fully featured sorting and naming mod designed to make your life navigating menus as painless as possible. Prioritizes making useful things sort to the top. Much consideration has been made regarding sorting orders. Pairs extremely well with Better Inventory, however the sorting is designed to be a major improvement over vanilla even for users without it. Built from scratch in xTranslator for english versions of the game.
Junk component tags tell you whats in that Giddyup Buttercup you are eyeing. Make better looting decisions!
Completely custom food tags, making meals effects immediately apparent and helping you avoid overriding stronger buffs with weaker ones.
Apparel keyword tagging system, read more below.
Nuked flora identification, know what kind of flux you get just by looking at the plant.
Quest exams marked with correct answers (*)
Ultracite and Excavator misc mod names corrected.
Alcohol is sorted into its respective stages. Fermenting and Spirit. Vintage drinks are labeled as such.
====Weapon Tab====
Can’t do too much fancy here as weapons are dynamically named, however grenades and throwables have been pulled to the top of the list to make for quick equipping or disposal.
Tags Used:
(G) Grenade
(T) Throwable
====Apparel Tab====
I’ve done quite a bit of overhauling in this section to sort different clothing in a predictable way and I’ve adding keyword tags to outfits as listed in the game files. The intention here is to help everyone know what does or does not qualify for certain challenges in a given category. I will tell you that some things that you would assume have a certain keywords(athletic, responder, BoS, etc) do not and others have keywords for things seemingly unrelated. This feature removes that guess work.
Tags Used:
[MoM] Mistress of Mysteries Quest Items
[PA] Power Armor Chassis

If you’ve made it this far I’m hoping you consider giving my mod a try, I am new to making mods and fully expect there to be an error here and there. If you find anything leave a comment and I’ll jump on fixing it asap. I plan to update this mod diligently with game patches or if I have time and a bunch of new outfits drop during an event or in the atom shop.
There’s no telling how much stuff Wastelanders release is going to add, but we can bet it will be A LOT. When that time comes as long as mod support is not broken I will release a quick and dirty update to bring the strings files in line with the new .esm and then begin immediate work updating everything more comprehensively.
=====THANK YOUS=====
I want to thank Ratmonkey for his/her incredible mod and L0n36unm4n for maintaining it! I got many hours of use out of that mod and couldn’t play 76 without it! If you don’t care for my mod or you want something less busy definitely check it out if you haven’t already! https://www.nexusmods.com/fallout76/mods/55
McGuffin deserves all the praise for making these things possible with his incredible tool xTranslator! With only a modicum of knowledge I was able to create this mod and meet my goals for it. I have barely even realized the full functionality of this beast of a tool that is developed and distributed for FREE.
Lastly, thanks to Bethesda for making the game. Keep pushing to make the game more fun, stable, and fair and persevering through a tough first year!
