Even with the main file, named "with static", I still have no static near Megaton, so I don't see the difference with the other versions. That's too bad. Fortunately, Immersive GNR Signal Boost seems to do the same than this mod, but the statics feature actually works, maintaining the immersion, so I'll be using that instead
not knocking this or anything, but this game is set in the era of staticy LPs & 45s, young folks in the day of the CD have no idea of what these old records sound like. i grew up in that era and the static adds ambience to the game.
Exert from the journal of Jr. The "Vault Dweller"...
Wrenching open the poorly constructed door at the mouth of the cave, the massive Vault 101 door grinding shut behind me (forever distancing me from the violence and horror I had just experienced), Blinded by the harsh sunlight that I had never seen... I stood shading my eyes, looking out over the "Capital Wasteland". The devastated world outside the relative safety of the vault striking strange new emotions akin to despair deep inside. My battered Pip-boy picking up a new broadcast from somewhere out in the nightmare wasteland. "This is Three-dog! Comin' to ya from-" Then the most heartbreaking song I have ever heard etching that first memory of my new life out in the wide world that is nothing like the one I read about in tattered and faded books. “I Don't Want To Set The World On Fireâ€, wavering and static filled, it was, and still is, the most poignant summation of our new world.
u know theres a quest to get rid of the static and have perfect reception every where... right?
Yes, S.I.K. doesn't want to ignore that, it just enlarges the area where you receive GNR for the whole time until you'll have finished the Quest. There is still enough motivation left to do so.
Upped a Version "noise reduction only" ! Just what it says -> Reduced noise from 40% to 25% So you`ll have a better reception especially around Megaton and still a little static. The area where you receive GNR is the same as usual.
(Version "better range only" bites the dust and does no longer exists as of now)
Without the static noise, gob bashing the radio is sort of odd.
also, megaton isn't supposed to have good reception.
And furthermore, having the reception go out farther than vault 101 seems flawed to me.
I'm not voting because my viewpoint is so far against the point of this mod, that doing so would be disrespectful. I imagine that this would be good for convenience's sake if you make a lot of characters that you don't finish with.
Thanks for your comment and for the way how you doing it. There are points you made, I absolutely agree with.
e.g.: It makes no sense to receive GNR at your 10th birthday without leaving vault101 just by getting the PipBoy... This happens with every version of SIK which improves the range.
But receiving GNR everywhere could be a feature for some people, for others it might break the game. This Mod does not intend to fit absolutely into the storyline. I`m glad to get such an open minded comment like yours.
In my opinion there is no need for that radio static sound. First I tried only to lower it`s volume, but after some testing I decided to eliminate that static completely.

Great mod, luv the new version.
- added a version which improves the range but still has the static sound
- updated the files so that they should be NMM friendly to install
have fun, tT
Thanks for all your comments and ratings :-)
