No music from the original video? The cinematic is playing on the Main Menu, but the music is the default main menu theme. Kinda disappointing, not gonna lie...
Edit: Never mind, MO2 was just acting up. I couldn't get any main menu mod to play custom music. Couldn't fix it, so I switched back to Vortex.
Edit of Edit: Never mind that never mind, it had nothing to do with MO2. For some reason the custom music added by this main menu mod doesn't always play. It's like a 70-30 split as to whether it will or will not play in place of the vanilla main menu theme. I tried installing with MO2, Vortex, and even manually. Installing manually surprised me the most, cause I figured if I straight up overwrote the vanilla main menu music, it would be permanent, but it still finds a way to play the default theme instead. Very strange. Very disappointing. Got no idea what's wrong with it.
What's happening here is that sometimes the default tune boots up before the mod can load in its opener. If you listen through without starting, I bet you'd get the mod's tune from that point on. As a solution, you might try finding where that thing resides in the game's files, rename your poison of choice and swap it out, same as anyone trying to replace sam's work in the mod's Music folder.
I was having this same issue in 2024, and I think I found a fix, at least it works for me in testing a few times. I'm using MO2.
1. Rename the music file to "MUS_MainTheme2.xwm" 2. In Fallout4.ini, under [General], change or add this line: sMainMenuMusic=\Data\Music\Special\MUS_MainTheme2.xwm
Or just use Bethini Pie which is how I got the idea to try this.
Or just rename your preferred tune and place it in the Music folder. Respect to Sam, his version's great, but I admittedly prefer Miracle of Sound's Some Things Never Change (Don't judge me).
Simple, but great mod. Thank you fabalpet. I have one question or rather a favor to ask. Could you make a version that starts with "FALLOUT 4" where piano starts playing instead of Bethesda Presents?

So, I am afraid higher resolutions are not accessible.
