Public Events Newspaper Extension (POE) - Updated

You can't stop the press! POE brings Diamond City's newspaper to life with 20,000 words of new articles for 31 tasks, multiple outcomes, improved textures and support for magazine racks.

What kind of newspaper only publishes five articles? What does Piper do in his spare time? How can Nat afford to eat?

Publick Occurrences Expanded is a simple immersion mod that adds additional news articles from the pen of Piper Wright. Just check in with Nat (Public Occurrences in Diamond City) to find new, lore-friendly coverage of your adventures in the Commonwealth.

To start receiving these articles, you need to complete Story of the Century and get the option to have Piper as a companion. It's best to enjoy this mod starting with a new save so you don't get all the articles at once.

Next generation upgrade compatibility

I'm currently too busy IRL to test this mod to ensure Next-Gen compatibility. Some users have reported issues with Better Notes, which this mod depends on. A workaround for DLC users may be to install the VR version, which is identical to the DLC version except that it doesn't require Better Notes. This will retain the paper texture but revert to the original chicken scratch font.

My goal is to fully test everything by early June 2024. If Better Notes can be fixed, then I'll probably bundle it with the mod since it's shared under an open license. Thank you for your patience!
