📋 About This Mod
DESCRIPTION:
This does exactly what it says in the title. It delays the DLC from starting immediately.
It stops the annoying messages that display when a new DLC is loaded, and requires that you be within a certain distance of the broadcast location before you can pick up the radio signal. Once you do have the signal, you have to listen to the WHOLE thing in order to get the quest and map marker for the location. This was done because I like it that way.
So, enjoy not being bombarded with "DLC Loaded" and "Level cap increased" messages in your new games.
