📋 About This Mod
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 48 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, yet?).
