About this mod
Adds eleven new magazines, each with a unique cover and effect, to the Mojave Wasteland.
- Permissions and credits
Version 1.2 is out - fixes a few quirks, adds a few more magazines.
This first volume of what will be an on-going series of mods introduces eleven new magazines to the New Vegas wasteland. There are around fifteen copies of each spread around the Mojave desert, inside buildings and outside, out in the open and in containers. Like the vanilla magazines, each has an effect that, when consumed, lasts for a set period of time before expiring. Most of the magazines are also affected by the Retention and Comprehension perks. I've also attempted to carry on the general frumpy seediness of the vanilla skillbooks and magazines.
The effects granted upon consumption vary greatly, and not all of them add skill points like the vanilla ones. Some give core skill bonuses, some detract from one area while adding to another, and some even momentarily add perks. They can be seen below.
Captain America - Commie Basher! = Crit Chance +6 for one minute/-2 Perception for one minute.
Bedtime Stories = Charisma +1 for one minute/-1 Perception for one minute.
If the Bomb Drops - A Guide to Nuclear Radiation = +30 Radiation Resistance for one minute/+10 medicine for one minute/-2 Agility for one minute.
Rifle Magazine = Commando Perk for two minutes.
The Big Book of Lesbian Horse Stories = Cherchez La Femme perk for two minutes.
Saturday Evening Post = +2 intelligence for one minute/-15 AP for one minute.
Dime Sports = Finesse Perk for two minutes.
Treasure Hunting Monthly = Fortune Finder for five minutes.
Bomb Shelters - A Primer = +12 Survival for one minute/-1 Luck for one minute.
This is Tomorrow - America Under Communism! = + 3 Damage Threshold for one minute/-15 AP for one minute.
Untamed - Death Orgy of the Doomed Vice Queens = Bloody Mess Perk for two minutes/-2 Damage Resistance
Bonuses and detractions are designed to be a bit more tactical, where one is often required to weigh options before using the magazine.
And in general this mod gives you more stuff to collect and hoard. That's always been one of my favorite things to do in Fallout, and I doubt I'm alone. This ones aren't always out in plain sight, and there aren't quite as many of them as there are vanilla magazines, so be prepared to snoop around a bit.

Credit and thanks go to chucksteel for having initially designed a few of the book textures (Bedtime Stories, Saturday Evening Post, If the Bomb Drops, Dime Sports). Other textures were made by me.
