MOD RELEASE VIDEO:


UPDATE 1.1 VIDEO:



With this mod you can:


  • Do propaganda!
  • Do fear mongering!
  • Promote war!
  • Promote peace!
  • Be ironic!
  • Promote yourself!
  • Go authoritarian!
  • Go Orwellian!
  • Explain to settlers why they must starve!
  • Promote Preston Garvey!
  • ... and much, much more!


Why I made this:



I thought that since the Sole Survivor is from the particular Pre-War era, in which all kinds of propaganda (in both public and private sectors) was very common, he/she could be compelled to using similar methods to deliver their message(s) to the citizens of the Commonwealth. In trying to keep the Fallout mentality, the slogans featured allow the player to take opposing sides in some very important subjects. For example, the player can promote war or peace; killing synths or freeing synths. Some of the posters also refer to actual propaganda posters used in both real life and the Fallout universe as well as pop culture.

What this mod does:


  • Adds 26 standalone Minutemen propaganda (and similar) posters
  • The posters can be found at Decorations - Wall Decorations - Signs
  • (*Should be*) fully compatible with other mods and DLC's
  • Building one costs 2 Plastic and 2 Adhesive

FAQ:

Q: Xbox version?
A: Yes! chucksteel ported it to Xbox One: https://bethesda.net/en/mods/fallout4/mod-detail/4079756

Q: Any plans on doing other factions?
A: Possibly the Institute (not 100% sure yet though). No plans on doing other factions as of now as the idea was that the player should be the leader of the faction.

Q: Any chance for more wear/damaged/dirtier versions of the posters?
A: Maybe in the future. Right now I don't even have the skills for this.

Q: Is it required to become the General of the Minutemen to unlock the posters?
A: Right now it is not required. If I can figure out how to do it, I'll make it so in a future update, but I will also leave an optional file with no requirements as well for those who are interested.

Q: I have an awesome poster idea!
A: Share it in the "posts" section or message me!

Q: I can make much better looking posters than you!
A: I'm sure you can! If you want to make/add your own posters for this mod, feel free to message me.
