About this mod
Adds a journal written by Wyll's mother, addressed to him, to his inventory. Expands on her character, includes references to lore about her, Wyll, and Ulder that might normally be hard to find, and contains some words of comfort and advice maybe all of us could use right now, too.

Made for Patch 7 - Hotfix 28 (And also Wyllvember 🌟🍂 Happy Wyllvember everyone!!!) Working with Patch 8!
Ok so, a little bit of clarification: the name of the Wyll Cinematic Universe—the ongoing project to expand Wyll's content Aimryax and I are working on—was a bit of a cheeky reference to the MCU, more than anything else. Not all the content in it will be cutscenes, like the Brightest Star romance scene. (Although we do, of course, have more cutscenes planned for the future!!!)
But the goal of the project overall is still to add more to the game for Wyll—including everything from custom accessories, to dialogue edits, to books and letters that add to his narrative—including this one.
Francesca's Journal adds a diary written by Wyll's mother to his inventory, with entries addressed to him, adding onto her character, and connecting her memories to details about Wyll's own life, too.
Some of the details in the book are references to aspects of Wyll's life already mentioned in the game—like Wyll being named after a great uncle, his mother's belief in the magic of the Wilden Oak's acorns, and the entry in Ulder's journal about Wyll diving into the ocean, trying to see a mermaid. And Francesca's name is actually one of those details—her canon name is Francesca, a fact that's brought up in the description of Ulder's longsword. I've included a screenshot of that description in the mod page images.
And some of the details in the journal are headcanons of mine, like her being a botanist, and liking fairy tales. There's unfortunately very little we know about her, but I wanted her to feel like her own character, too. So I tried to add as much as I could for her, based on what we do know about her. I like to imagine Wyll taking after her in a lot of ways, as well, and wrote the journal entries with that in mind.
The journal itself is a little over 1,700 words, and I've included the text in full in the articles section. Just in case it's easier for you to read that way, or if you're not able to install the mod for any reason, but would still like to read it.
The journal will spawn into Wyll's inventory on loading a save, whether it's a new save or not. It works for both Origin playthroughs and if he's a companion, and he should have it regardless of whether he's been recruited already or not! (You can actually try pickpocketing it off him before recruiting him but, please don't.,, 😅 I just wanted it to be something he has from the start of the game...like he's been holding onto it and taking care of it a long time 🌼🌷)
The book will only spawn once, and will only spawn in Wyll's inventory. You can get additional copies of the journal if you have the AV Item Shipment Framework installed, but you don't have to have it installed to use this mod!! The book should spawn into Wyll's inventory regardless, and does not rely on any other mods to do so. The ISF compatibility is just in case you lose the original copy of the journal, or would like multiple copies of it (we will ignore the fact multiple copies don't quite make sense with the lore of this mod qwhfvbjfkvbhfj)
Compatibility:
This mod is compatible with edits to Wyll's starting equipment!
The following mods editing Wyll's starting equipment have been tested, and all are compatible!!
This mod should also be compatible with dialogue edits, visual edits, unique items, accessories, and other mods made for Wyll. I'm actually not sure if it'll conflict with anything at all! It uses Osiris scripting to place the book in Wyll's inventory, but does not override any existing scripts, or other files at all. If you run into any issues, of course let me know, but I don't anticipate many conflicts.
This mod is safe to install mid-playthrough, but the book will need to be removed from your save before uninstalling!
To do so, you can use Volitio's Mod Uninstaller, Mazikeensa's Trashcan mod, or by summoning the Tutorial Chest, placing all copies of the book inside it, and letting the chest disappear. Once the items have been removed from your save, make a new save. The mod should now be safe to uninstall.
Use the BG3 Mod Manager to install. Uninstall by deleting the mod from your mods folder once all copies of the book have been removed from your save.
...And that's about it! As always, let me know if you run into any issues, and enjoy! 🎶🌼💗

Thank you very much to everyone in the BG3 Modding Community Discord server who helped me figure out the scripting for this mod, and the best way to get the book to Wyll!! A very big thank you especially goes to LaughingLeader, whose tips about the QRY_OnlyOnce OSI query helped me finally get the mod working as intended 🌟
And also, of course, thank you to Aimryax, my partner in crime and fellow mastermind behind the WCU 🌷💗🎶
