A new version of this mod, as a part of the updated and expanded Gruffydd's Signs and Posters, will be released in the next month (assuming all goes well in testing) over at AFKMods. There probably won't be much in the way of new road signs added, but there will be a lot of new signs and posters, including both vanilla ones that didn't make it into the original mods, and all-new custom stuff.
It's going to be a whole new version, which means that existing objects won't transfer from one to the other. If you're happy with what you've got now, feel free to stick with this one, it's not going anywhere. If you want the expanded selection of vanilla and custom signs and posters that will be in the release (well over 100 new ones, possibly more than 200, I stopped counting), and are willing to re-place stuff from the old versions, keep an eye out over at AFKMods for the release announcement.
Any chance of wall-mounted versions of these signs? Finch farm's sweet sign collection always ends up on the floor because of bethesda's spectacular physics. Sorry if this is already included somewhere.
The main reason I was doing them separately was to give people the option to cut down on category clutter (and so that I don't break anything that's working - I'm still actually relatively new to this, so I'm being a little cautious). That said, I don't see any reason not to put out an all-in-one. However, I've got a couple more categories of SotT that I want to get out before I put out an AIO version, so it's probably going to be another couple of weeks before you see it. Once the individual parts are all up and working, I'll put out a combined version. Also, this would only be for the SotT series. "Gruffydd's Signs and Posters" is really my primary focus (because I get to be creative and have fun with it). For a number of reasons, I want to keep that one as its own unique entity.
Coming up will be a SotT - Government, which will have various public-sector and utilities signs (schools, power plants, government, etc.) and a generic SotT (still looking for a good name for it) which would be the "clutter" signs, the generic stuff like "sale" that you see all over the Commonwealth.
There will also be some more signs added to the existing SotT mods, because I've found some more stuff while digging around in the files. The GOAT posters are coming soon to SotT - Posters, for example.
Wow, that's a lot of plugins. The cap is 255, I think? Unfortunately, from what I understand it's a hard cap because it's defined by the 2-digit hexadecimal value assigned to the plugin, so it's not something that is likely to get changed in the future. I'll definitely be coming out with an AIO at some point soon.
By the way, if anyone ever figures out a way to add subcategories without running up against the category cap problem, please let me know. I would dearly love to subcategorize the AIO when I eventually release it, so that you could go to Decorations>SotT, then select DLC, Government, Posters, Road, Shops, or Misc, and only have that batch to sort through. Unfortunately, as I understand it, even though we have the functionality for that, doing so causes conflict due to the category cap, and is a sure-fire way to make a mod unusable in conjunction with other mods.
Yep. Shouldn't be a problem, it'll just take some time because they aren't automatically "sticky" in the right spot like the pole versions are, and have to be modified a bit before they're usable. Like I said, you should probably see them sometime this week.
Would be cool if you retextured one to have a blank face so it could be used with your other mod (though I don't know yet if those would work together)
Which other mod? I've got a few now. Did you mean Gruffydd's Signs and Posters? Did you have a specific sign in mind, and something you'd like done with it?
Edit: I just figured out what you were talking about. You meant a blank that you can put the DLC signs on, so that it's mounted on a post instead of attached to a wall. It's certainly something that can be done. I'll look into it.

If one exists, and I find it, I'll add it. So far, though, I have not seen one.
It would be great to get all your work and be able to cut the esps down.
Either way, your efforts are much appreciated. Thanks!

Gruff... seriously, you are as bad as DDProductions83 about making mods I just have to have...
