    Tales from the Commonwealth:
    Just a reminder I will not be providing support or visiting/replying to comments on this page, because it's easier for me to manage all my mods from a single website, one that also happens to have a mini-wiki that will answer many basic questions for you.

    Wiki for TFTC
    Here you will find info on quests and companions as well as random NPC encounters. It is also recommended you play the Fallout 3 Mods (bundle download from the header) for additional backstory on NPCs, in particular companions Audrey and R4-04.

    The Built-In Quest/Location Finder:
    You don't need to rely on the wiki, however, or random chance. There is an easy way to find many of the quests and locations in the mod (although not all of them). It's by completing the short, You've Got Mail quest by visiting the post office in Nahant. The reward you get for completing it will put many other locations on your map.

    Bug Report, Troubleshooting, and General Help Section
    Any bug reports or troubleshooting questions should be searched for before being asked. If your question is new or you can't find an appropriate answer in the database (or the wiki) then feel free to ask a new one. I will get an email notification and answer within 24 hours.

    Notes on Atomic Radio:
    I had to take down the file with custom music, will upload a safe version with only vanilla music, to add your custom tracks, you'll need to enable loose files and add tracks 01.wav, 02.wav, all the way to 44.wav (or 01.xwm if WAV isn't working for you) to this folder:

    Data\Sound\fx\mus\radio\atomicradio\FM\

    ***If you want to download the version with custom music added, you have to go to, you guessed it, http://3dnpc.com.***

    Twitter:
    If you like, you can follow me on twitter here. Nothing to do with mods though. I'll also be posting some trailers and content on my Patreon page.

    does one of these mods add a nazi hat as seen in the screenshots? :\
    this mod page is lacking info and the linked website is a disaster. just a hard to read mess with it all together with no way to tell whats from what.
    i want to want these mods i really do. i have very fond memories of interesting npcs for skyrim that i still remember and feel emotions about  but this is a concerning mess.
    what exactly do these mods add? what sorta mods are they incompatible with? do they all work with NG or just one or two of them?

      When reading seems too burdensome, the game walkthroughs on YouTube might help.

      The hat you asked about was a souvenir from the time-traveling quest on Thuggysmurf's Outcasts and Remnants mod.

    Came to finally say I love the settlers mod addition. Pumpkin, Seven and Vicki are 3 must haves for my places. Thanks.

    the Atomic Radio plugin seems to be causing a persistent stuttering. I've painstakingly narrowed it down, it's definitley Atomic Radio.

      The radio mod has worked fine for others.  Perhaps you should try a combo shot of Jet and Skooma to see if that smooths things out.

      Same, did not narrow it down that far but uninstalled Settlers, Tales, and Atomic Radio, which removed the traversal stutter. I might try Tales and Settlers to see if the issue continues or if it is an issue specific to Atomic Radio.

      Does anyone suspect the CPU has aphasia?

      It can possibly be your vram filled with new face data since without x-cell mod its not compressed and stored at full size in it. Check this out its not much but at least possible.

    Are you guys making something similar for starfield? The 3npcs mods are my favorite, by far, of any mods...and it is amazing how you guys never miss... Like, some other mods that add npcs add annoying npcs that may go against our ideals and we cant do anything about it...with yours we always have some options, be it to agree, to diaagree, to kill them hahaha truly an rpg experience...

    The DLC commentary causes a crash for me, it goes away when I disable it.

      Yes, though I don’t really play with companions other than the Storyteller and Dogmeat. I am running like 800+ mods though.

    Newish to this games modding community. The mods in this package were the root cause for traversal stutter in my game. Removing them fixed the issue. If others are experiencing stuttering when moving about the world this mod could be a possible cause.

    I've played "Tales" for thousands of hours but never met "Lola".
    Any hints?

      Gotcha. I always thought a lot more could be made with that place. Maybe buy it from the owner and then recruit staff or the like.

    Sorry to report that this mod(Tales from the commonwealth) seems to be incompatible with the America Rising 2, when I was trying to enter the place "NE-23 Com array base", the game crashed. Auto-scan indicates that TFC was responsible for this crash.

      I used to play Tales and the Original America Rising together.  You might want to switch the load order or check them for conflicts with Vortex.

    Is there a placale I can see the locations of every npc and such? Because 3dnpc have a fandom page with a lot of info about it and there is the completionist mod that also makes sure I dont lose anything...
    But there isnt anything like that for fallout and,on your site,under the "settlers of the commonwealth" there is setlers( which show them,their locations and their IDs thanks ) and under that there are a lot of names like "talking door""ingram and skjar""Morgan end""chaplain" and many more and I do not know what they are and where to find them...clicking on the link shows some dialogues so I imagine they are the names of npcs or quests right?
