Queering Fallout - Lore Notes

This mod scatters a few new lore notes throughout the world of the Commonwealth to either add or more explicitly highlight the queerness of various characters (and corpses). It also modifies a few existing vanilla notes for added diversity and realism. If you like this mod please track it, as I plan to add more notes whenever inspiration strikes. (Suggestions are also welcome!)

I suppose this does often fall into the "bury your gays" situation because the writers of many of these notes are doubtless dead...but this is Fallout. Most of the world is dead. But that doesn't mean it has to all be straight.

Yes, there are already canonically gay characters (living and dead both) in Fallout 4. But not many, and obviously not enough. This mod, and the others I'm making like it, aim to rectify the overabundantly heteronormative nature of the game's setting by adding some more queerness into the bits and pieces that make up the trappings of life (and death) in the Commonwealth both pre- and post-war to make the environs feel more natural and realistic.

Or to put it another way: we're here, we're queer, and no nuclear apocalypse is going to change that!

You may be familiar with my mods from Skyrim (if so, hi again!) but you should know that I am much less familiar with the world of Fallout than I am with that of Elder Scrolls. As such, I enthusiastically welcome your feedback and suggestions for other locations, characters, tweaks, or subjects for additional notes.

File Options:

There is a basic file that uses the names "Nora" and "Nate" to refer to the family of the Sole Survivor in the journal written by their neighbor. There are also alternate files that replace either "Nora" or "Nate" with the Player's Name. Please choose only one file for each playthrough! The files will not conflict; but you will have duplicates of every note if you have more than one plugin loaded at a time.

Because they use all the same assets stored in the same folders, you may download all three plugins and simply enable/disable them as desired according to your playthrough without having to re-install the meshes/textures/etc each time.

Want more? This mod is completely stand-alone, but you can also install its companion mod, based off Notes of the Commonwealth, for a little more queer immersion there, too!

Installation:

Either install with your favorite mod manager or download manually and drop it directly into your data file. The plugin is esl-flagged so it will not take up a slot in your load order.

Compatibility & Patch Permission:

Since aside from naming two of your doomed neighbors, this mod does nothing but add scattered notes through the world, the easiest thing to do if you have compatib
