About this mod
101 new load screens all about radiation, nuclear fallout, radioactive elements, nuclear weapons, the nucleus and more. Educate yourself while playing the game.
- Permissions and credits
Now you learn one or two things about atoms, their nuclei, what fallout is, why we use the outdated unit rads ingame, how atomic bombs works, what isotopes are, why caesium-137 is dangerous but also used in a wide range of applications, who the Radium Girls were and more interesting facts - just by playing Fallout 4.
There are 101 load screens included in this mod, all with fitting 3d models. Most of the texts are from Wikipedia but I also used chemistryviews.org as a reference. I tested all load screens ingame to ensure that all texts fits properly into the text box and nothing gets cut out.
Background
Some time ago I watched a documentary about the Chernobyl desaster and thought it would be nice to learn about such things in a Fallout game because nuclear physics plays a big role in the lore. Hence the name of the franchise. ;-)
I wasn't sure if the reactor meltdown of Chernobyl took place in the Fallout lore so I didn't mentioned it in the texts. Maybe I create an optional file themed around this matter because it's incredible fascinating and terrifying at the same time. This stuff would fill additional 100 load screens.
Installation
You can install this mod with any mod manager.
If you're new to this, here's a guide.
You can install it at the start of a new game or mid playthrough, it doesn't matter.
No additional mods or DLCs are required. However, these new load screens will appear in DLC locations.
Load order and compatibility with other mods
You can put the plugin anywhere in your load order.
The plugin is flagged as an ESL file so it won't waste a load order spot.
There are no incompatibilities with other mods because this mod doesn't alter vanilla forms.
The only exception are mods that removes load screen texts and/or 3d models from load screens but that should be obvious.
