Big thank you to L0rd0fWar for providing the Military Backpack and Mercenary Rucksack models.

v1.7 Released for PC and Xbox! (6/3/24) Note: This update is compatible with both next-gen patch and version 10.1.163 of Fallout 4 (also note this is a big patch, so I would advise a “clean” save if you would like to upgrade on your current save file. That is, uninstall mod and make a new save, then reinstall. Keep in mind all backpacks you have collected will be deleted from the save and settings reset)

FAQ & TROUBLESHOOTING: All three main DLCs are required.
Q: The backpacks are invisible when I equip them and the carry weight stacks! A: Most likely another armor or clothing mod conflicts with mine. Some mods that use slot 54 (cape), such as pip-boy mods, will cause this issue.
Q: Carry weight doesn't transfer to Power Armor even though I have the magazine! A: In order for that to work correctly, my mod needs to load last a lot of the time, or at least after certain mods. This is because any mod that edits power armor effects will have unavoidable conflicts with mine due to necessary changes to the form called "EnchPA_Abilities", which most power armor mods also change. I can't inject the edits with a script.
Q: Can I use my existing save with the newest patch? A: This is a tricky question. Most of the time, there is no need for a new game. However, if there are a significant amount of edits in a patch or there is a wide gap in the versions for your save file it may be best to start a new game. As said, most of the time you shouldn't need to, but if the patch edits a backpack's effect, you need to at least drop it on the ground then pick it back up. Another example is if I move a backpack to a new cell and you already picked it up, a new "duplicate" backpack will reappear in that new location. Level lists and spawns should also update just fine on an old save with a new patch. If you wish to be 100% safe, simply do not update the mod.
Q: Why aren't backpacks appearing in the world? A: Even though there are a lot of different types of backpacks, I made the default spawn rate RARE. Be patient, kill lots of gunners and raiders, and be sure to search EVERY suitcase, armor container, armor vendor, and remember that bosses have a higher spawn rate! The settings holotape allows you to edit the spawn rate, but even at +40% they won't spawn every minute.
Junkie’s Chem Stash and Sling Pouch both have new, sort of "experimental" legendary effects. They might be super overpowered or perhaps the opposite, I'm not quite sure yet, haha. The addiction debuffs seem to counteract the strength of Junkie's Chem Stash upgrades while Sling Pouch's AP Regen rate helps a lot for sprinting and a VATs build but hopefully not too much. Let me know!
I removed the last version, played without it for 5 minutes, saved it again and then installed 1.70. Then I found the mailbag in Olivia. It's okay as an object, but the textures seem to be missing when equipping it.
PEGA backpack should autodrink water as I understand however it is not working for me. Also weight bonus not applying to power armour. So maybe its related somehow. Mod in the bottom of the load order.
loving this mod and the latest update, just wanted to let you know that you left a few vanilla worldspace edits. nothing precomb breaking, just letting you know. should only take a few seconds to fix in xedit

Hello! I'm having an issue with my Power Armor and the mod. I have the magazines and equipped backpacks, but the carry weight is not increasing while I am using Power Armor. I also placed the mod at the bottom of my load order. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance!
Yes I am on the next gen patch Everything works fine as far as I see it's just the power armor that is bugged Outside of it I got 340 carry weight when I hop on i go to 310
The HQ is not apeearing, i did not get holotape either. If i type help backpack 4 in the console there is nothing returning. Mod is last in the load order. Checked versions 1.5.8 1.6.2 1.6.4 on F4VR
Excelent mod! bmanzzs, I have been using the mod for years and I have used it every time I have done a new run, grateful for your work. It's silly but any possibility of a patch to be able to display the BobbleHeads of the mod on a BobbleHeads Stand? I don't know if it's my bug but I can't put the BobbleHeads on display. I think they have a very cool artistic style and I would like to be able to display them as collection
Can someone post all the info about the Vault Tech Utility Backpack ? Location for the backpack and the upgrade bobbleheads ?
I found the backpack and an armored jumpsuit locked inside a curio in the overseer office of vault 95. Also I found the charisma upgrade bobble in the Regional Vault Tech HQ and another one in vault 81( the ballistic upgrade, I think).
Still missing 2 upgrades ( energy and sneak), no idea tho where to look.
Love all the backpacks when I can see them. Sadly, all backpacks are invisible when I add them to my character. Whats weirder is they add to my carry weight whenever I equip them but are still invisible...I am using the NCR Veteran Ranger armor as well and hope this isn't whats causing this
Hey, loving the mod on Xbox and needed to know if im completely missing something with the Backpack HQ safe key, is it supposed to spawn in the building or somewhere else?

Outside of it I got 340 carry weight when I hop on i go to 310
I had that idea for a moment, but unfortunately it would require a dirty edit which could potentially cause more conflicts.
However now that I think about it I could add a separate bobblehead display that one could construct. It just wouldn't be as clean
I found the backpack and an armored jumpsuit locked inside a curio in the overseer office of vault 95. Also I found the charisma upgrade bobble in the Regional Vault Tech HQ and another one in vault 81( the ballistic upgrade, I think).
Still missing 2 upgrades ( energy and sneak), no idea tho where to look.
