No. MF and MA do not, and will never, require any DLCs or mods to install. MF does have some soft dependencies on F4SE, MCM, and BCR for a few features, however, they are not required for the mod to function properly.

The soft dependencies are as follows:
MCM Menu – F4SE + MCM. Note: The features in the MCM Menu are available by other means or mods. Eg: Settings Holotape for damage adjust, stagger toggle, & debug container access, and aid items for weapon function toggles. A hotkey mod like FO4 Hotkeys can be used in place of MCM’s hotkey feature, for hotkey-ing the weapon function toggles.
Bullet Counted Reloads (tube-fed shotguns) – F4SE + BCR System. Note: Without BCR, the shotgun anim will “reload” 5 shells every time you reload. Shotguns whose mag-tubes exceed 5 shells will need to be reloaded twice to fully refill the mag-tube.
