-= Description =-
Wandering through the ruins of Concord you come across Tommy, a scavenger, your new best friend. After a few scavenging trips together you fall in with some raiders, realising you're both on the wrong track it's time to take action ...

Adds a quest that gives you a new friend, a new settlement, a new source of income, and a new tattoo. Fully voiced - check out the credits!


This mod permanently changes the Saugus Ironworks location. This location is used by a number of vanilla quests, these are listed here: https://fallout.fandom.com/wiki/Saugus_Ironworks
To avoid breaking these quests, this mod creates a copy of the vanilla cell. The vanilla cells are still accessible through a trapdoor to the rear of the exterior of the Ironworks (see images). The keys are located on top of the reward chest.

-= FAQ =-
-When to Play?
This mod would fit best being played alongside a play-through, coming back to it periodically. However it can be played on an existing character in one go.
-Companions?
You can take whatever companions you want, it shouldn't break anything, but the narrative is that it is meant to be just you and Tommy.

-Tommy is telling me to sit down, but I already am.
Stand up and sit back in the marked chair.

-Tommy isn't at the camp
Sleep in the bed twice for 1hr each, he should appear in his chair.

-Will the tattoo conflict with existing body mods?
The tattoo is implemented as a piece of clothing so it can be equipped/unequipped as the player wants. When equipped it will replace the 'body' equipment slot, so you will see vanilla body type with the tattoo.
To have the tattoo visible with vanilla clothing a new item needs to be crafted at the chem station.

-Where do I find a makeshift battery?
https://fallout.fandom.com/wiki/Makeshift_battery_(Fallout_4) 

-Where's my reward?
The selected manufactured items will appear periodically (every 1hr play time) within the safe located in the office where Tommy is located. A text box will appear to tell you when rewards are available to collect.

-20 years of modding?
I'm just past 12 years of modding (first upload in Nov 2009) on and off. Hopefully the quality of my mods have improved over that time, there's certainly a couple of my early mods that I wouldn't recommend =). Although feel free to check them out: https://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/users/1405537?tab=user+files&BH=1
