Edit: Version 1.1.2 is a small fix for poster #1's conflict with HardCorePlayerSleep keyword. Kudos to KazFoxsen for identifying the problem and helping with a quick fix.
Version 1.1 is now live!
This update brings 11 more posters for you to choose from, bringing the total to 26 posters
Thanks for the continuous feedback and new ideas, they are highly appreciated
What about locking these posters until you're the leader of the minutemen? it is odd to place them without having control of the faction, you'd be basicly spreading Preston's influence since he is the "general" before the player..
How about a few "warning" type of posters?
Warnings:
See raiders, shoot first, ask questions later / Got a chem habit? too bad, no mercy for raiders / If you mess with the minuteman we will destroy you, ex-raiders are welcome as long they protect the lives of those they threatned
See gunners, shoot to kill all them bastards / No matter if they're mercenaries if you see gunners you throw grenades, no bits spared, REMEMBER QUINCY
See Supermutants, don't waste your time trying to reason with them, or else you'll be soup / Don't like to be eaten? Kill all Supermutants / Strong is your friend, friendly super mutants are welcome!
See atom worshippers, trying to spread your religion? too bad, the general is the ONLY GOD / Keep your preaching to yourself and you'll be welcome / The Minuteman welcomes any religion as long they are not hostile
See feral ghouls, You see ferals.. why are you not shooting yet? / Ferals are not your friend anymore, Your ghoul girlfriend turned feral? SHOOT TO KILL
See Synths, You see these walking mannequins? shoot to destroy! frenzied human-machines are not welcome! Got a malfunction partner? too bad, no mercy for hostile synths! Friendly Gen 1 and Gen 2 are welcome
See Robots, Spare Parts Galore! / Try not to destroy important parts, we can always reprogram robots / At least you can tell which one is a robot / See enemy sentry bots? run! save yourself / See enemy sentry bots? destroy it with your life!
"Attacking minuteman caravans is a sure way to die in a cage against a (deathclaw, yao guai, mirelurk king)" -Wasteland workshop
"Trying to free your chem-induced friend? too bad he'll die in a cage, like the rest of you"

" Do you like pets?"

"Farms are the essential, your work is appreciated"
"Farming is honest work" -The General
" Do you like tomatos? do you like potatos? we only got tatos"
" Do you like meat? too bad, all radstags are property of the General and the Castle, poaching is forbidden"
" Do you like meat? good, you can have all the radroaches in the commonwealth!"
"No poaching! you can eat as many carrots you want!"
"Free meat, you just need to kill it yourself and share with others"
"Without water, there is no life"
"Prevent yourself from becoming a feral ghoul, drink only purified water"
"Free purified water"
"Trying to eat your friend? CANNIBALISM IS FORBIDDEN"
"Trying to eat your friend? shame to see good meat go waste"
"Your pet brahmin is behaving strange? kill it, its a synth"
Thanks for the suggestions! I'll see if I can make the posters "unlock" after becoming the General in a future update, as of now though I'm not sure how this is done so I can't give any promises.
BTW, Preston is not the General at all, it was Becker (who had already died by the time the Sole Survivor meets the remaining Minutemen) who was the last General. Preston even states that he has no interest in becoming the General
Though wasn't Preston the "Last Minutemen" when you met him? He must've thought he was the current General, how else would him have had the authority that he bestowed to the Sole Survivor?
Were it not given to him prior? General Becker must have given Preston the leadership before he died and Preston realized he wasn't capable of leading the minuteman, even less the entire Commonwealth, maybe he grew disgusted with the position, and after seeing the Sole Survivor, which is a former Commonwealth original resident, a leader whose both skilled in combat and people, maybe it was a too sweet opportunity to pass up the blames.
If you travel a lot in the Commonwealth.. you may happen to come across dead minuteman, dead settlers, people who originated from the group in Quincy, there's quite a lot of them actually, maybe "General Preston" realized he wasn't capable of taking blame, to cope with the weight of the decisions and the cost of leadership, people tend to love and hate leaders, there's nothing in between that, it tends to be a position where you're responsible for everything, specially the blame.. some people aren't strong enought to deal with such responsabilities, even so, I believe Preston remained a officer, the 2th general of the reformed CM, under the Sole Survivor
Whatever the case, its a decision Preston will grow to be proud of, or hate
I have a more minor suggestion. In the power armor "While you starve to feed him" The man in power armor has a minuteman logo on his chest. Maybe that could be changed to a BoS one? As it doesnt make much sense.
The Minutemen generally save farms being attacked who have their crops stolen by raiders, while there are dialogues you run into with the BoS where you are ordered to seize food from local farmers "for the greater good" by their quartermaster. So, lore-wise and ideologically it would make more sense, but that would probably be for a different mod
I would have preferred if the second half of "a good citizen shuts up" was "careless talk costs lives" given that synth infiltrators could be listening at any moment. Quite a lot of these posters seem far too on-the-nose but that's just my opinion. It's a great mod that adds more flavour to Minutemen settlements otherwise.
For anybody who might be interested, I published an SMM Patch for Minutemen Propaganda Posters that creates a specific menu for it under the Decorations > Wall Decorations menu.
Right but the sole survivor lived in what was essentially a fascist dictatorship in all but name, remember, pre war America was ruled by the shadowy Enclave who are pretty much a neo Nazi organizing.
The Posters dont seem to work for me (the icons in the building menu are invisible and wont build anything), im using we are the minutemen so that might have something to do with it has anyone had this issue before
I love your mod man! it's so cool to decorate my settlements with your posters. I know it's a bit difficult, but can you do a tutorial on how you made your mod? I really wanted to make some posters too!
I'm having some trouble. The selection for the posters show up in the workshop but I can't see the icon or the poster on the wall. Any tips? I'm still new to modding lol
Did you ever find a fix for your issue? Im using settlement keywords expanded to put it in the SKE and it shows up but none of the icons show up and all the things are invisible.

He was last minuteman. "The one good thing about being the last Minuteman is there's no one to argue with me when I say you're the new General."

I know it's a bit difficult, but can you do a tutorial on how you made your mod? I really wanted to make some posters too!
My fix:
1) Install the patch for this mod from the SKE mod page / archive file
2) Reinstall all the textures, meshes etc from THIS mod but NOT the .esp
That fixed it for me, as SKE user.
