"This mod is only functional because of the use of a third party server," the mod's page reads. "The only information that is sent to the server is, nearby players, your name (the one visible to everyone), and your message.
The other issue with this mod, brought up by several Nexus Mods community members, are related to how these messages are being sent and received.
We simply don't know at this point, so if you mod Fallout 76, you are taking a risk. Its warning only states that "such applications may result in Fallout 76 not functioning properly" but there may be other consequences to using mods with Fallout 76 (like a ban). First, Bethesda does not support Fallout 76 mods. I haven't tested the mod myself, and there are a few extremely important things to note if you're considering it. Any player you wish to text chat with will also need to have the mod installed, and if they do, you will see their nametag in blue. The mod says it allows players to type and send messages to one another at a range of 100 in-game meters, slightly further than the distance at which you're able to read a player's nametag. The Proximity Text Chat mod, created by Liyalai, adds a local text chat feature to Fallout 76. While Bethesda told me it is "looking into" adding text chat in the future, there has been no further mention of it in its roadmaps or future patch outlines. The lack of this extremely standard multiplayer feature means players can only communicate with mics and emotes, which is a major problem for players who are deaf or hard of hearing, as well as for those who simply don't want to play with open mics. Original story: Fallout 76 shipped with a number of absent features, and one of the biggest misses Bethesda made was not including text chat.
