About this mod
Adds magazines in the Commonwealth to unlock CC and DLC content, with better workshop menu integration, and overhauls CC quests so they each start at an appropriate time.
- Requirements
- Permissions and credits
- Changelogs
Magazine unlocks
Without this mod, a lot of DLC and CC content is available from the start. Now, you have to find magazines to unlock them! But mainly, you now have 41 new magazines to collect and display!
Cut content restored
3 cut La Coiffe magazines have been restored and will unlock vanilla hairstyles.
6 cut Taboo Tattoo magazines have been restored and will unlock tattoos, consistant with the cover.
This adds tattoos to the HumanRace record, so it will conflict with other mods editing the same record.
1 RobCo Fun magazine has been restored along with its holotape (I did NOT make an actual playable game for it).
Magazine numbering
Magazine names get issue numbers consistent with the number on the cover when there is one.
CC paints requirements
Modular Military Backpack
The backpacks are distributed to different factions but are rare. They are also still distributed to certain vendors but much less often, and with more variety.
Concentrated Nuka Quantum cookbook (Manwell Rifle CC)
The inventory model has been replaced with the magazine model, with a new cover texture. The original note recipe can still be read.
From the inventory, "inspect" to see the cover, "read" to see the note.
This also now unlocks an actual crafting recipe for Concentrated Nuka Quantum at cooking stations. (Beverage category)
Magazines locations and perks
Better Creation Club workshop menu integration
Everything has been removed from the Creation Club workshop menu and can only be built from their categories.
The VR pod is found in the Special menu.
Halloween Pack: moves all the Halloween decorations to a "Halloween" category in the "Decorations" menu.
Holiday Workshop Pack: moves all the Christmas decorations to a "Christmas" category in the "Decorations" menu. Also moves the Christmas trees from the Vault-Tec Workshop DLC to the "Christmas" category.
(May need a patch with other mods that mess with the Decoration menu)
Better Creation Club quests integration
CC quests won't start when you first exit Vault 111, and will each trigger at more appropriate times. On existing saves with already triggered CC quests, this won't untrigger them. The only CC quests not covered by this mod are for Doom BFG, and Quake Thunderbolt (Morgan's space suit also not supported).

Next-Gen update
Since 1.5.0, this mod uses the next-gen ba2 format, if you are on an older version of the game, you might need Backported Archive2 Support System, or unpack the archives.
Since 1.8.0, this mod requires the free Creation Club content included with the next-gen update. You may be able to make it work on pre-next-gen by using a Downgrader.
Since 1.10.0, Next-gen CCs are no longer required (optional alternative main plugin).
Compatibility with Integrated Addons
Integrated Addons is a great complementary mod to this one. It better integrates the DLC and NG CC, and adds random encounters. Glitchfinder has made a compatibility guide and patch for the overlapping features.
