How to use Videos of the Wasteland / Starlight Drive-In Addon
The latest release of Radrose Usability Enhancements by Takatoriyama includes an item sorting patch for Videos of the Wasteland 2.5.2, adding categorization, sorting, and visual icons to inventory items added by VotW, and fully compatible with AWCKR, DEF_UI, and Valdacil's Item Sorting.
Additionally, if you're looking for a place to store your holotapes when not in use, the Store Your Keys mod by Hamitho contains a handy container for holotapes.
Videos mod add-ons installation
Please install each add-ons one by one, for each plug-in:
install it, load the game, save it and install the next plug-in.
If you don't do that, you may mess up the holotapes display order:
some holotapes may display the wrong video, coming from another holotape or even another mod.
Uninstall Videos of the Wasteland 2.X
There are two ways to uninstall VotW:
- By using chems craftable at the chem station under Videos of the Wasteland
- By using the option Uninstall in MCM under Videos of the Wasteland,
If you don't do that, you can loose your Furniture category. If it's the case, you can:
- Reinstall VotW and uninstall it correctly
The Radiation Queen
The Radiation Queen allows you to play videos on each in-game television.
It uses compatible holotapes, some included with VotW, whilst others are available to download seperately.
It needs to be close enough to the TV to get detected (Roughly 1 to 1 and a half meters in real life terms).
The TV AND the Radiation Queen need power.
Each Radiation Queen gives a 50 happiness bonus to your settlement
The Radiation Star
The Radiation star is a projector allowing you to play videos on a specific screen. Only the Radiation Star needs power, not the screen. It uses the same holotapes as the Radiation Queen. If some videos are not currently compatible with it, you will be unable to insert them. There are several limitations to the use of the screen, read the F.A.Q. for more infos. Each Radiation Star gives a 50 happiness bonus to your settlement.
The Holotape Crafting Workbench (included with VotW and found via the VotW workshop category) enables you to craft the S.P.E.C.I.A.L. holotapes, along with all the holotape/film-reel add-on mods.
- This optional add-on (in optional files) allows you to play film reels on the Starlight Drive-In screen. It uses film Reels, from this add-on and other video mods. You can find these reels in the stairs near the projector, or craft them at the workbench. The screen needs to be repaired with 30 steels and the main building needs to be powered. It isn't compatible with mods altering the main building / screen shapes (re-texture mods are mostly compatible)
- IMPORTANT: Once you've connected power, you'll need to exit the Drive-In location and fast travel to another location/settlement, in order for the Drive-In cell to 'reset' - this will ensure that when you return to Starlight, the projector will display the film reel content correctly!
The Essential Pack
This optional version (in Miscellaneous) removes the non essential elements. In this version, you have:
- A radiation Queen and a Radiation Star to play videos.
- One screen for the Radiation Star.
- A workbench to craft holotapes and film reels.
- The scripts and vanilla TV modifications to enable videos playing.
There are no additional TVs, posters, signs, or furniture included.
There is no menu, no MCM, no volume control. You'll have only the bare necessities.
The Theatre Pack
- This add-on (in optional files) adds many elements to the VotW menu: Cotton candy machines, ice machine, theatre chairs, Candy shops, lighted signs, posters, floors, walls, beam head... They are placed under the workshop menu "Videos of the Wasteland". It enables you to build theatre in your settlement. It uses mainly 2k textures
It is strongly recommended that users of the Theatre Pack Add-On install the VotW Theatre Pack Quest Removal Patch handily created by hman720.

Q- Do videos loop or only play through once?
A- They loop, that was always the goal. That way they can run in the background while you potter around. However, the film reels don't loop because it would causes performance issues
Q- What’s the maximum resolution & length a video tape can be?
A- Each frame is 256×256 pixels (vertically stretched, and re-scaled by the UVs). The current maximum time limit per tape is around 10 minutes.
Q- Will you release a tutorial on how I can add my own videos?
A- Look at the beginning, you can't miss that banner!
Q-The radiation Star doesn't work, what's the problem?
A- If an object is placed between the projector and the screen, if the projector is too far away or too close, too low or too high, and if the projector doesn't correctly face the screen, it will not work.
Q- Something doesn't work, what can i do?
A- You can reinstall the mod via Vortex or manually (by following the steps written in the article if you want), look whether all the files are correctly installed, make sure the plug-ins are activated and check the loose files.
Most of the issue are related to the user
Q- One of my plugins says "VideosMaster.esm is missing, what can I do?
A- This plugin is outdated and will no longer work with the 2.X version of Videos of the Wasteland.
Ask its mod author to update it or uninstall it.
Because the way VotW works has totally changed between pre-2.0 releases and post-2.0 releases,
Renaming another plug-in to VideosMaster.esm will not work
Q- How can I repair Starlight Drive-In?
A- You need to go in front of the big screen with 30 steel, select "repair it" then you need to power the main projector building.
If you have an issue with Starlight, take a look at the pictures and the videos
Q- The Starlight Drive-In screen doesn't display any videos, what's the problem?
A- For currently unknown reasons, it appears that the Starlight addon may not work for some users.
If you're sure you followed all the steps, if the projector is working when you insert a reel, but you have no video
and no sound, then it means the plugin doesn't work for you.
Sometimes, re-installing the mod several times, loading another save, or start a new game fix the issue.
Thanks to Orvid for Caprica and Champollion, DexesTPP for HKXPack – [RazorWire] couldn’t have made this mod without any of these tools.
Thanks to all the devs who continue to develop Nifskope and Fo4Edit – Modding would be nowhere without you guys.
Thanks to Bethesda for making Fallout 4 as awesome and modder friendly as it is.
Thanks to texashokies for his help on quest from the release 2.6
