How To Make Fallout 4 More Realistic
I grew up in D.C. Fallout 3 took place there. The geography was close to what it actually was. They obviously took some liberties to make it a retro futurist version of the area with an alternate history. Some monuments were new (the battle o.
Fallout 4 Walkthrough
So I want to start my 3rd play through and I want it to be a more realistic-immersive experience. But I can't find the mods I'm looking for.My first problem with Fallout 4 is how easy you get guns and ammunition. I mean, come on, 210 years and still find perfectly preserved pistols and rounds? Even if you don't, you find caps lying around every corner, and you can buy riffles or shotguns for less than 50 caps. Or if you want to use melee weapons, you have to run avoiding bullets all the time to get close to your enemies.

That's just not right.I've been looking around and didn't find most of the things I'd like to have in my game, so I decided to ask you guys if you have any recommendations ^^I'm playing the PC version and I'm looking for mods like:1. You don't find much ammo in containers (almost none, or none will be ok I suppose.)2. Enemies such as raiders spawn only with melee weapons and when they have guns, just small amounts of ammo.3. Prices of guns and ammo are high enough to make you think twice before buying.4. No caps in containers or random places.5.
No guns in random places (just melee weapons maybe)6. Less populated commonwealth (less raiders, settlers, etc. I think i saw a few on Nexus but not sure which one to use)7.
Reload mods like the one Gopher was using in season 1 of Jack's game play.8. Realistic damage (like you take 1 shot, you're dead. I've seen a few on Nexus but not sure which one to use)And any other mod that you guys recommend will be welcomedGracias in advance ^^EDIT: I'm going to try out 'Scavenged Wastes' and see how it works but still looking for recommendations ^^Edited January 31, 2017 by Sebngarde. You see, I'm using the bForceNPCsUseAmmo=1.ini tweak for Fallout 4.
Essentially, what this means is that enemies will use up their ammunition in their inventory, and once they run out, they'll resort to melee. I find this much more realistic than the infinite ammo they had in the vanilla game. The default amount of ammunition they had was so low, that they'd fire about 8 bullets and then run up to punch me. This also meant that I could never loot ammo off their bodies because they'd use it all up, and as such, I'd sometimes run out of ammo too.taken from the description of the mod that does opposite to what you want( Simply More Stuff - Ammo and Caps by Billyro). Give Horizon Survival mod expanded a look.This is a complete overhaul of the FO4 survival mode and it makes the game much more realistic. Ammo is hard to find and you are forced to spend perks to survive before you can spend perks on guns or armor. You can no longer steal food from settlements.All bad guys have been rebalanced (not bullet sponges) but tougher.
Gen 1 and 2 are far more scary. You truely fear the Institute.You lvl much slower no matter how smart your character is. I have been playing this overhaul for the last week and it is very tough and very fun if you enjoy challenges. This mod overwrites many things in the game and does not play well with other mods that change the same thing. I did a clean game install and only added mods I must have like Gophers save at anytime, lower your weapon, easy hack. I also really enjoy the APC mod that gives me a mobile platform to move around the map quickly and store loot and have not had one game crash.I have 1375 hours in FO4 and this mod has refreshed my game play like no other.
It has made me rethink and relearn what is important in the game. Horizons Mod is not for light weigh player. Do you know about this ini tweak?taken from the description of the mod that does opposite to what you want( Simply More Stuff - Ammo and Caps by Billyro)Ok, I tried this one out and I can see the problem already xDLooks like enemies spawn with 3 to 10 shots and most of them don't have a melee weapon, so as soon as they finish their 3 shots, they come running to you waving their fists xDBut i have to say it's very interesting for certain builds ^^Thanks again ^^Edited January 31, 2017 by Sebngarde. This game does not use vanilla leveled list addition methods as a way to get raiders to use the weapons, so bashed patches are not needed and will not effect this mod.This mod does, however, use a script to add weapons to the leveled list. Keep that in mind when uninstalling/reinstalling this mod all willy nilly as it may cause issues down the road. I advise throwing this mod into your game in the beginning/in the middle of your playthrough, and then not installing too many more leveled list weapons.from MCAM.
Thats the problem indeed.but maybe one of the melee mods can solve it?like orhowever, there might be issues with leveled lists - check those comments, for examplePS: there is also a massive raider overhaul mod -but it looks like it aimed more at armors, not weaponsCool, I'll check it out.For now I was trying 'scavenged wastes', which removes most of the loot lying around, and give enemies like raiders mostly melee weapons. I like the idea of not getting much loot and weapons at the beginning, it makes you think how to use your caps.Although there are a few issues, like for example some raiders don't have clothes. It's really hard to have a serious mano-a-mano with a naked junkie:/And most traders have almost no caps (0 in some cases) so it's really hard to get caps (I suppose it'd be easier doing jobs).But as I said before, I like the idea so I'll play with it for a little while I suppose.Now the problem would be modding the combat and damage. I'm trying on very hard before going to survival, and got killed by the same single dog 5 times this evening:/. The Raider Overhaul is a personal favorite of mine. If ever does a second, fully modded out playthrough, he NEEDS this in his load order, along with its companion for Super Mutants.
They both are excellent and make fighting them much more enjoyable, especially the cool ass loot you can get off em. The Raider Overhaul made doing a raider run through Nuka World much more enjoyable, seeing as you have really cool looking gear that actually stood up to top tier metal/military gear.
Just remember, if you find any blue paint, put it away in a separate container immediately, so it doesn't get scrapped.Edited February 1, 2017 by Dat Lobo.

Don't know if anyone cares about this topic anymore, but I'm going to post the mods I'm using right now just in case someday it's useful.This is not my full mod list. It only has the ones related to immersion/realism (just my opinion btw)1. Arbitration (for enemy AI)2. Create you own difficulty Rebalance (for damage tweaks, player 0.8, enemies 1.2 because melee is so OP)3.
Legendary Enemy Spawning (set to 0)4. Reduced level up speed (1/3)5. Scavenged Wastes (loving the almost-no-loot idea)And that's all i got right now. Getting Caps is very hard unless you do jobs with the Scavenged Wastes mod because traders don't have any caps (some times they have up to 100, but mostly 0), and you don't find any loot in containers, no caps, no bobby pins, no ammo.
Most enemies don't have guns and they run to you with melee weapons, and many don't have good armor. I'm really enjoying these mods, but still hunting for more.
