About this mod
This mod integrates the Courier's Stash preorder packs via corpses of the four couriers missing from base game (1, 2, 3, and 5) complete with unique Mojave Express delivery orders for you to collect. With an additional optional file, you can also receive an AI-voiced quest from Johnson Nash to track them down. A non-DLC version is also available.

That cowboy robot had us hire six couriers. Each was carrying something a little different. A pair of dice, a chess piece, that kind of stuff. Last word I had from the office, it looked like payment had been received for the other five jobs. Guess it was just your chip that didn't make it.
What this mod does:
- Stops the Courier's Stash DLC items from being added to your inventory.
- Adds four dead couriers to the Mojave Wasteland with unique names. On each courier, you'll find:
- One of the Courier's Stash pre-order packs
- A Mojave Express delivery order for a novelty game-themed item - (requires optional file) Adds a new quest, "Please Mr. Postman", given by an AI-voiced Johnson Nash to track down all the couriers.
The idea behind the mod is that the bodies are the other couriers hired for the Platinum Chip job. I thought it would be a nice way to integrate the DLC items into the game world while adding some personality to the Mojave Express since I always thought it was weird the other couriers were not expanded upon. Also it makes sense with the title of the DLC as the items are still a courier's stash, just not yours.
Installation:
- Install one of the main files. This will scatter the four couriers around the game map for you to find.
- Dead Courier's Stash
- Dead Courier's Stash (No DLC) - (optional) If you also want the AI-voiced quest given by Johnson Nash, install the optional file in addition to one of the main files
- Please Mr Postman

i.e. where the aliens spawn during the Wild Wasteland Event. There is unique Nash dialogue for both the non-WW mercenaries and the WW aliens
The courier NPCs were designed by Richwizard using the pre-order posters. This mod was based off of their Courier's Stash in Goodsprings mod so big shoutout to them. I have since however changed it a lot so it no longer includes a fix for the Weathered 10mm Pistol by Chucksteel which was built into the Goodsprings mod.
I also recommend installing A Fresh Start (New Courier Stash Armors) to make the DLC armours look even better/more unique. But this is entirely optional.
I can't test TTW compatibility myself as I don't use it but this mod should work fine without a patch. Just select not to receive the DLC items when the TTW popup appears (otherwise you'll get double the gear).
InActionMan64 made a TTW patch for an older version of this mod which will remove the popup entirely, though this version only places the couriers around Primm and does not include the new quest. To use it, download the TTW patch in addition to the simple version located under Old Files in the Files tab. They make a lot of TTW stuff so check them out.
