Can you play as a female on Fallout 4?

[CaptainSR91]

Hello, as the title states does anyone know if you can choose and play as a female character on Fallout 4? I've looked at videos and have only seen the male character, but lately I've seen game saves of female characters on nexusmods and wondered how people managed to play as a female when it seems that you're only supposed to play as the guy. I tried looking for an answer online but couldn't find a question about it let alone an answer. If anyone could explain how they're able to do it would be much appreciated. Sorry if it sounds a bit confusing.

Yes you can. You do this by switching over to the woman during the initial character creation stage.

Yes you can. When creating character you can customize both husband and wife. So after you customize just make sure that you have "selected" wife like you were customizing her and finish.
I heard that the child gets generated from the husband + wife ( so thats why you can customize both I think at the same time )

Yes you can.

[Jirki88]

Yes you can.

Why would you think you're only supposed to play as a guy?

[WarRequiem]

Yes, just at the toon makeover screen press sex

Have you not seen the trailers for the game? Of course you can play as a female, just like all the other fallout games.

Well I've seen so many videos with people playing as the male character and the fact that his wife was killed I assumed you could only play as the male. Thanks for replying either way.

I'm not sure what you press on the keyboard, but with the controller you press Y to change genders. they switch spots in front of the mirror. You can change how they both look, and this changes how Shaun will look too.

If you play as Nora (name changable of course) then Nate (also changeable) will die.

Not a troll post as I've seen lot of people playing as the male only and the fact that the wife was killed really made me believed you could only play as him.

What a strange assumption / conclusion...

Like every fallout game since 1997, YES. You can be a girl, if you want.

another point that isnt very clear at the start of the game.
you play with the last one you customized, if you click finnish with the woman at the front of the mirror, you play with her

I have the game but I can't play just yet it so I wouldn't know much of the controls but i'll keep that in mind. Thanks for the reply.
