This mod is dedicated to the memory of the four dogs I loved and lost during its development. They spent many long hours in their beds at my desk keeping me company.
Cooper (Hermes): My one and only companion. We took him in at 7yo. I asked him for 7 more years, he gave me 8. Dumb, completely untrainable, and gentle as a butterfly. He loved blankets, food, cuddles, and the warm, soft, gentle things in life, because he was one of the warm, soft, gentle things in life. He will forever be the best, and there will never be another like him. If there is a heaven, he is waiting for me there. Lucas (Zoidberg): A heart of solid gold, the brightest light to ever be in my house, and my jogging buddy for 4 years. His happy eyes could light the entire room. He was my number one fan when I'd play guitar and would come running from wherever he was to watch me play at practice time. To this day I don't know if he was encouraging me or asking me to stop. We took him in at 7yo, but lost him at 12.5 to liver disease. The world is poorer for his absence. Love Bug (yes, I named him): We took him in at 14.5yo after he was found almost (literally) starved to death, trapped in a ravine deep in the woods and his owner didn't want him back. He had been a rather neglected outdoor-only dog in a cold northern state and chewed through his lead to get away during a thunderstorm. He had his first soft, dry, warm bed and indoor winter with us. Most importantly, he had bacon and cheese every Sunday, for Christmas, and a cupcake on his 15th birthday. He passed only a few days after the picture you see. Rudy: Rudy kept me company during the later stages of FSD development. Rudy has a sad story, don't read any further if that's disturbing.
Spoiler:
Show
Rudy was a puppy mill sire - raised in a livestock cage without any human interaction save for horrible abuse, both neglect and physical. When he stopped mating (he was too scared to produce anymore) he was taken out behind the barn to be shot. The community's "puppy broker" just happened to be there on business at that very second and stopped it. She brought Rudy to the rescue where he ended up with us. Rudy came to us a nervous wreck and a thoroughly beaten down dog, forever scarred by his experience. He would never be a normal dog. We taught him he had his own safe bed to hide in, to play as well as he knew how, that there was good touching, to like scritches, and that we were two humans in this world that would never hurt him. He had the heart of an angel, submissive to a fault, and wouldn't hurt even a fly despite all he'd been through. We had to put him down just this past weekend due to an intestinal tumor (July 2024). Emerging grey fur on his face suggests he was about 10 years old - the puppy mill didn't keep track or even name him. This life was unfair and cruel to him, and his 3 years of comfort with us too short. Hug your dog. Be patient with them. Love them. Don't buy from puppy mills.
RIP Rudy, the forever bent but never, ever broken.

Welcome to all re-installs of Fallout due to the update or the show. Still was a hell of a show, wasn't it?
Like all the stuff you see the rooms decorated with? Damanding worked very hard on a Fens Sheriff's Department Workshop pack with hundreds of items from this mod!!
Total cheat fun stuff: 'coc aaMStoys' for some cool mod-only weapons and armor. 'coc aaMT' for my FX testing room.
A few rules for the comments section: 1) Nevermind. All I asked was for you not to abuse the Voice Actors, but one of you has gone literal stalker mode and stalked one of the voice actors to another unrelated project and harassed them about this mod. There is something seriously wrong with a section of the user base here - grievance culture has you in a death grip, so things like harassment become socially acceptable. The rest of you I do genuinely like, however the Comment section is closed.

IN CASE YOU MISSED IT IN THE MOD DESCRIPTION, HERE IS ANOTHER WARNING:
YOU DO NOT WANT BOTH INSTALLED SIMULTANEOUSLY!! For those who have never had Bleachers installed on current game:
Install away like you would any other mod. See the "Quest Start" section for just that. Skip "A Diamond City Story" with the holotape in your inventory if you would like to get right to FSD
For those who have Bleachers installed but never finished it on current game: I know a lot more now about quest writing and programming than I did when I started "The Bleachers: A Diamond City Story". I have changed some of the earlier data in those quests to improve stability. Quests do not like having certain types of data changed mid-run. So before you update you either need to finish the Bleachers organically (running through the quests), or finish The Bleachers by using the holotape shortcut. Then you can safely uninstall Bleachers and install The Fens Sheriff's Department.
If you made a mistake, updated too early anyway and baked it into your savegame: Use the FSD/Bleachers holotape to skip 'The Bleachers' and start the 'Fens Sheriff's Department'
NAKED GUARDS? They probably spawned before you installed FSD. Load an old save created before ever traveling to Diamond City or start a new game. The other option is to manually enter their inventory and equip the new gear (this only has to be done once per NPC).
How to Download and Install the Textures Manually
Vortex Click on Settings and the Download tab to identify the path to the Vortex Downloads folder. Download to the mod file to the download folder just identified. Go to the left menu > MODS and then Install from file in the upper left. Select and install the file
MO2 Download the file to any folder on your computer. Go to the upper left of MO2, 2nd icon looks like a software box and Disc and the "Install a New Mod from an Archive" button. Go to the folder where the mod was just download and select it.
* Be sure to activate the mod in your Mod Managers after installing them.
Using the button outside or using the holotape elsewhere never worked for me, I thought at first maybe it was a time based thing, but time didn't bring back the bounties either. What I found worked was going inside, where you deposit the heads, and then using the holotape to reset the bounties. This made the heads inside disappear, and upon exiting the clipboards were once again filled. Hope this helps someone!

Also - there is now an option in the holotape if needed.
How to Equip PA if an NPC is Only Using a PA Frame
1) Face the NPC. 2) Open Console and click on the NPC. 3) Type "openactorcontainer 1" to open their barter menu. 4) Click on any piece of PA armor not worn and press the "T" button to equip it.
I reinstalled this wonderful mod for some funny reason(I thought there is a problem,but there isn't.).And now, some guards in diamond city are naked。Is there a way to fix it?
This happens if you installed in a savegame that has already seen the vanilla DC Guards loaded and inventory assigned, and before the cell has had a chance to reset (I think 4 in-game weeks). The game is trying to dress them in the vanilla outfit, which they do not possess anymore.
If you open their inventory with the console, you'll see the items there, manually equip them. You should only need to do this once, ever, for each guard.
Has anyone ever met the bug that all soldiers of the sheriff attack me for no reason?I admit that I was wearing power armor from a dead soldier of them,but it wasn't I who killed that soldier.What'more,once I load the save again,everything is normal.I have experienced this twice since I started this new game.Or maybe it's just because I hit someone of them carelessly
Many people cross the "DO NOT CROSS" lines or shoot a member of the FSD. Also, the game engine is bad about making a destination appear that it is through a door which a person should not open.
