![Fallout 4 graphic overhaul Fallout 4 graphic overhaul](/uploads/1/2/3/7/123706261/410287708.jpg)
I want to start a New Game (almost never played, was waiting for mods). I was waiting to start the game for good mods that can give me a good survival / realism / difficulty game. I will of course play on survival.
I would like help from people who have played with similar mods. I have found a good bunch, but can't decide which one is the best (or maybe multiples ?).
What I aim for and want :
1 - Less Ammo/Chems/Food etc. Mod I intend to use for this :
Fallout 4 Loot Overhaul : http://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/1486/?
This seems to represents what i want, but i never tried it.
2 - More realism/difficulty (no bullet sponges - everyone die fast and SUper Mutants and Deathclaws and such are a big challenge)
This is where I just can't decide, here is what I found :
-
Arbitration - Change a lot of stuffe - Here is a list and link Better Combat AI Reduced Grenade Spam Increased Grenade Detection Distance Increased Survival Difficulty Damage Better Fall Damage Increased Stealth Detect Distance Longer Stealth Search Time Unbroken Stealth Light Level Increased Walk Speed (Global) Decreased Reload Speed (Global) Reduced Compass Radar Detection No Automatic Condition (broken limbs, concussion) Regeneration Molotov Cocktails burn ppl to death instead of exploding ppl to death http://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/2037/?tab=2&navtag=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.nexusmods.com%2Ffallout4%2Fajax%2Fmodfiles%2F%3Fid%3D2037&pUp=1
-
Rebalancer : a lot of stuffe also - Seems like arbitration but a little bit more customizable : http://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/2339/?
-
Difficulty and realism Overhaul : Here is the list - -ALL weapons increased in damage, 2X-5X yours and your enemies, such as Sentry Bot minigun, Protectron laser, Scorpion sting, etc. -Mods for guns/energy and all damage perks nerfed, You still do more damage then the base game in the end, but the goal was not to make perks/mods such an insane boost, to help out the NPC enemies. Some mods got tweaks like RoF increase/decrease, accuracy etc. -Nerfed damage perks from 100% to 50% so you aren't such a god vs npc enemies. (optional but I recommend it) -More enemies got damage/accuracy perks to help them out. -Health was somewhat normalized. Example: Weakest raider was 30hp, Strongest was 500. Now its more like 90-300. Trying to get rid of the total wimps and the bullet sponges. -Removed AI perks nerfing enemy damage.. those first raiders can hurt a new character now. -Huge buff for things that were way too weak, such as Vertibirds, Turrets (yours and Theirs) and Robots. -Lowered the level lists for some weapons so they show up sooner. Assault Rifle at 18ish instead of 28, Sledge Hammer was 18, I put it much lower. ETC. -Increased value of guns somewhat - it bothered me a Mirelurk Steak was worth more then a gun -Improved the first Auto mods. the -35% penalty was a bit too much imo. -Buffed companions to cope with the tougher enemies - somewhat. I also gave them perks some new perks and the robots/synths/mutants got natural resist.. just like every other one of those races has. -Increased Power Armor health. Unlike other mods that do this, I went through each lining, increasing the HP of each.
-
Better locational damage - here is the link - http://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/3815/?
So this is what I found. Is there better mod out there for what I want ? Can you mix these mods ? If not which one do you suggest. Any related experience to the kind of game I am aiming at is welcome. I don't want it to be insane, just realistic and fun and a lot of inventory management..because hey it is 200 years after the apocalypse..there should not be ammo and stuffe evrywhere..
Thank you!

A new Fallout 4 mod was released today on NexusMods; the “Fallout 4 Dynamic Lights and Shadows Overhaul”. Of course, there are plenty of Fallout 4 lighting mods already. However, this particular mod seeks to improve exterior lighting specifically, an area which very few lighting mods actually address. There are plenty of Fallout 4 mods which seek to improve textures; one recent release re-skins the game’s synths to resemble the androids from Detroit: Become Human, for example.

Fallout 4 Realistic Overhaul
The new lighting overhaul mod was made by a modder who goes by “raidenfrank” on NexusMods. According to raidenfrank, the mod removes some “fake” light sources which already exist in Fallout 4, put in new dynamic lighting, and improve the realism of both shadows and lighting at night. For now, the mod is available only in a pre-alpha version for the purpose of testing. Indeed, raidenfrank has called for gamers to test the lighting overhaul mod out and provide feedback. As they address, there are plenty of Fallout 4 mods which improve lighting already. However, for that very reason they are seeking to cater to an underserved niche.
“Now there are a lot of awesome lighting enhanced mods,” says raidenfrank, in the mod’s description; “but most of are for “Interior” scenes… For “Exterior” scenes? Emmm, it seems NO ONE? …” Raidenfrank states that they are very well aware of the load on systems for running dynamic lighting. As a result, they are asking for users (especially those with higher-end PCs) to try the mod out and report issues like fps drops. Apparently, raidenfrank has experienced some scenes dropping to a “steady” 20fps. Obviously, this mod is still in its early stages. Hopefully, raidenfrank can produce a final product offering the sort of exterior lighting and shadows which the market is so lacking.
