This mod adds 37 new lore-friendly, thematically appropriate songs to Diamond City Radio, by splicing in a second song after each of the game’s original tracks.
This isn’t the most elegant way of adding songs to the game, of course, as the pairs of songs will always be the same. For example, the existing song from the game, Betty Hutton’s “He’s a Demon, He’s a Devil, He’s a Doll will always be followed by the new song “I’m Gonna Dig myself a Hole.” Also, Travis’s description of what just played will always be one song behind, and he has no clue about the added music.
Future versions of this mod will probably fix the first problem, but unless the original voice actor wants to hit me up and offer some pro bono intros and outros, there’s always going to be some disconnect in the description.
On the upside, if you don’t like a song, you can just delete the file name appropriate to the song that immediately precedes it.
