Decades before the cold doors of Vault 111 unleashed the Sole Survivor on The
Commonwealth, Hancock and his Militia of Drifters, Delinquents, and
Gangsters overthrew the tyrannical Mayor Vic of Goodneighbor.
With men slaughtered and his allies cast into the wastes, Vic was
hanged from the lamppost in Scollay Square.
Such a torrent
of violence had not been seen since the Bloody Massacre of 1770 in
those very same streets.
Whereas victory would not be
claimed by their Ancestral Bostonians for 6 long years, Hancock would
claim the settlement of Goodneighbor as the new Mayor, and his cohort
of revolutionaries would become…
THE NEIGHBORHOOD
WATCH
Of the People, For the People!
You feel me?
==========Lore Dump==========
You may wonder why some of the outfits I chose for the faction aren’t
really Gangster inspired. Two are what I call Delinquent outfits (the
road leathers and greaser jacket) and the other two are Drifter
outfits (padded jacket and winter jacket).
My head lore for this is that originally, Hancock’s Militia was made of of
Gangsters, Street Thugs, and Wasteland Drifters. Under Vic,
Goodneighbor seemed to be a pretty wretched hive, at least more so
than when Hancock took over. NPCs in fancy suits, vests, and
suspenders are reserved for proper Made Man-style gangsters and
veteran members of The Watch. NPCs in leather jackets are essentially
delinquent street-rats, little more than thugs with authority. The
newest volunteers to The Watch are generally brought in from the
wastes with the clothes on their backs being repurposed to show off
the colors of the guard.
All these individuals of ill
repute come together not just to act as civil protection, but as
political enforcers of Hancock’s rule—hence the pin-buttons.
==========What this Mod Is==========
This mod attempts to bring a sense of flair and personality to the lowly
sub-faction of Goodneighbor by giving The Watch a full wardrobe
overhaul.
16standalone red retextures of vanilla clothing outfits, 18 standalone
retextures of vanilla hats (both black and red), a custom GN logo
stenciled onto the outfits to act as a “badge” for the uniforms,
and a menagerie of political style pin-buttons.
The textures on these buttons can be changed at an armor bench, where you
will also find numerous Fallout brands, Goodneighbor political
propaganda, other miscellaneous styles, and even an option to hide
the button entirely.
Since these are all technically
copies of vanilla entries, all the outfits are Ballistic Weave ready.
The outfits are also sold at Daisy’s Discounts!
==========Whatthis Mod Is Not==========
This mod does not alter or inject new weapons into The Watch’s Leveled
Lists.
Use your preferred weapon mods alongside this one to give them the proper
gear they deserve.
This mod does not add major faction overhaul mechanics like in W.A.T.M. or
the Improved Faction series of mods.
This is a simple outfit overhaul.
This mod does not offer any additional quests, combat encounters, or voice
dialogue.
As much as I want those, it’s just a little baby mod.
==========Compatibility==========
the mod utilizes SPID, so any NPC with the name 'Neighborhood Watch'
should instead wear the outfits included in this mod
Any mods that change the facial appearance of NPCs should work fine with
this mod.
!!SPIDIS A HARD REQUIREMENT, NO EXCEPTIONS!!
!!Be sure to share any incompatibilities you come across!!
==========Affected NPCs==========
Members of The Neighborhood Watch
Finn
Fahrenheit
Sammy
Ham
==========Recommended Mods==========
GoodneighborWatch Redux by Babaloo321 – Adds four guards outside Goodneighbor’s
main entrance. These guards will work with my mod out of the box.

unsure of the likely date of release.
+ SS2Conqueror Faction (whenever SS2 makes such an update)
+ Aflag featuring the custom GN logo

more outfits, especially for female Watch members.

Coat, Varsity Jacket, etc
+GNstyled retextures for vanilla armors/weapons similar to the CC skins
