Sawyer, has released his own personal mod for the game. Sawyer headed up development on Fallout: New Vegas as well as the Honest Heart <a title=\"Term Information\" href=\"http:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/forum\/showthread.php\/20301-DLC-Downloadable-Content\">DLC<\/a>. The mod requires the latest DLC to work, and Sawyer developed it to use for his own personal play-through of the game.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Mod notes<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Max level with all DLCs installed is 35.<\/li>\n<li>XP rate is halved.<\/li>\n<li>Base player health is quartered and level-gained health is reduced by 25%.<\/li>\n<li>Base Carry Weight from 150 to 50 (related perks\/things have also been adjusted).<\/li>\n<li>Energy Weapon ammo weighs less than its nearest equivalent Guns ammo.<\/li>\n<li>Energy Weapon durability is in the same ballpark as Guns durability.<\/li>\n<li>Medium Armor has a small amount of DR proportional to its DT.<\/li>\n<li>Heavy Armor has even more DR proportional to its DT.<\/li>\n<li>Power Armor does not require a perk, but if you have the perk, the weight of the armor is essentially negated.<\/li>\n<li>Karma\/Alignment values adjusted all over.<\/li>\n<li>H2O\/FOD\/SLP rates doubled, but the first threshold is moved from 200 to 400 (statuses roll over ever 150 after).<\/li>\n<li>Water and Food drop rates on NPCs is dramatically lower. It is difficult to stay out of Dehydration\/Starvation by looting enemies.<\/li>\n<li>Water\/Nuka-Cola\/Sunset Sarsaparilla heal much less, but now all restore H2O (alcohols will as well, but at lowered values).<\/li>\n<li>Default Stimpaks are uncommon. A new variant, Stimpak, Expired is the default. It is not that great.<\/li>\n<li>The player&#8217;s Workbench recipe now makes Stimpak, Homemade. It is better than Expired, worse than default Stimpaks, and has the PE penalty from Healing Powder.<\/li>\n<li>All Stimpaks have weight.<\/li>\n<li>Pre-Order items have been adjusted to be more well-balanced and not worth that much if you rush to Chet&#8217;s to trade them in.<\/li>\n<li>A bunch of fixes I couldn&#8217;t make during development because of load order conflicts, time, etc. E.g.: Automatic Rifle spread re-adjustment, putting the Police Pistol on the Cowboy List, Bozar on Grunt, Junk Rounds are now actual ammo variants you can make, etc.<\/li>\n<li>Some other stuff.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>You can grab the mod <a href=\"diogenes-lamp.info\/jsawyer_fnv_mod.zip\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/01\/Fallout-New-Vegas.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone  wp-image-30014\" title=\"Fallout New Vegas\" src=\"http:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/01\/Fallout-New-Vegas.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"371\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/01\/Fallout-New-Vegas.jpg 970w, https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/01\/Fallout-New-Vegas-300x185.jpg 300w, https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/01\/Fallout-New-Vegas-250x154.jpg 250w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Project director releases \u201chardcore\u201d mod for Fallout: New Vegas<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":161,"featured_media":30015,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_sma_x_autopost_status":"idle","_sma_x_autopost_error":"","_sma_x_post_id":"","_sma_x_attempts":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[2,3],"tags":[165,1453,1512],"class_list":["post-29997","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-business","category-pc","tag-bethesda","tag-fallout-new-vegas","tag-mod"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/29997","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/161"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=29997"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/29997\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":30010,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/29997\/revisions\/30010"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/30015"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=29997"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=29997"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=29997"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
