Publick Occurences Expanded Expansion Mod Idea

[rsuda]

Has anyone thought about using the mod Publick Occurrences Expanded to create a couple newspaper related settler jobs and settlement items?

Basically you'd have a newsstand that you could build that would get restocked with more articles that you could purchase a copy of in exchange for caps. Something like the book return machines. Maybe also a couple newspaper and book related settlement objects you could stack near it such as a couple boxes of newspapers. I don't know if it would make more sense for you only to be able to purchase the most recent article or if it would stock more and more articles as you progress through the game.

For settlers maybe you could assign them to hock newspapers like Nat. So basically similar to the book return machine idea above except you'd be buying a copy off them. Again, I don't know if it would make more sense for them to only have the most recent article or to have more and more articles as you progress. Alternatively, maybe have them stand near a printing press instead (maybe even give the printing press an animation when you purchase an article and have the settler do an animation as if they're giving it to you? Maybe have an idle animation where sometimes it looks like they're fiddling with the machine or oiling it?). Also, it might be neat if they sold other books and news related stuff such as overdue books, pens, pencils, cloth, and so on. 

 

Also also it might be neat to expand this idea of media related settlers to other mods such as the radio related mods By Brandoman being sold as holotapes, or certain informational books such as the wasteland survival guide being sold (maybe the books wouldn't do anything but would be sold just to add flavor to the world).
