Immersive Lore

Immersive Lore is a mod that breathes life into the post-apocalyptic world. Immerse yourself in the raw emotions and untold stories of survivors and victims who have left behind fragments of their existence. Scattered throughout the world, these weathered papers hold precious thoughts, heartfelt letters, and intimate reflections from the early days of the apocalypse.

NOTE: The vegetation in the preview images are from the 10 years later mod.

• How does this mod work?
  Immersive Lore introduces a new item, "Tattered Paper," to the game. These weathered remnants serve as vessels for the poignant thoughts and messages of those affected by the apocalypse. As you explore the world, you'll stumble upon these items, granting you the opportunity to delve into the narratives they hold. Unfolding the stories within, you'll gain insight into the lives of survivors and victims, immersing yourself in their experiences during the apocalypse
  
  
• Where can I find the item?
  This item can be discovered in a variety of locations scattered throughout the game world, such as offices, kitchens, bathrooms, bedrooms, and more. Each spawn location holds the potential for a unique story, ensuring that you encounter a diverse range of narratives as you explore.
  
  
• How many stories are there?
  At the time this mod was last updated (6th of May, 2025), there are a total of 188 stories
  
  
• Is it possible to come across the same story twice?
  Technically speaking, yes. The mod employs a prioritization system that aims to present you with new and unseen stories whenever possible. However, there are still rare cases where you'd see a repeat story, such as having already read all stories the mod has to offer.
  
  
• How do I blacklist certain stories from spawning?
  Each story has a unique ID. To find the ID of the story you want to block, head to mod directory/media/lua/shared/Translate/EN/UI_EN.txt. Press Ctrl + f and search for the story you want to blacklist. The ID of the story will be in the translation name. For example, UI_ImmersiveLore_Story_1_Title points to story with id 1. Compile a list of ids you want to block separated by semi-colons, like 1;14;16;32;94, then go to sandbox options of the mod and paste it into the "Blacklisted Stories" field.
