GO4 Very Easy Survival

MAKES SURVIVAL MODE AS EASY AS A WALKING AND CHEWING GUM!

For those who want to play the Fallout 4 Survival Mode without worrying about getting killed, this mod is for you! In survival mode only, the mod “GO4 (Gameplay Optimizations for Fallout 4) Very Easy Survival” changes the damage you do and the damage done to you to match that of the Very Easy difficulty setting:

All other aspects of Survival Mode (like needing to eat, drink, sleep, and cure your diseases) remain the same. These effects are described at the Fallout wiki:

  2. Load a save you made while in Survival Mode.

  3. Engage in combat to see how you take less damage and deal more damage in Survival Mode.

  4. Save and exit the game.

  6. Load the save to see how damage returns to the normal Survival Mode setting.

PLEASE RATE & COMMENT

If you like this mod, please rate it. If it gets enough high ratings, I’ll expand it and additional mods to support the DLCs. The mod has been thoroughly tested to ensure there are no issues other than those listed in this description, but let me know if you find any. You can add me as a friend and send me a message at NexusMods.com. My user name is Sp0ckrates (spelled with a zero).

HOW THE MOD WORKS

I made the mod for myself to have the option of changing the difficulty setting to make survival mode easier. I mean, I wanted survival mode for the immersion of having to eat, drink, sleep and heal diseases, not to for the relentless grind of dying over and over again! Right? I also made the mod because I was dismayed that the mods which claimed to do the same as this one simply didn’t work.

The mod changes the percentage of damage done to you and the percentage of damage you do in Survival Mode. With the mod, this damage is the same as the Normal difficulty setting:

Incoming Damage
——————————
• With the Mod: 24%
• Without the mod: 300%

Incoming Damage When
Sick with Weakness
———————————
• With the mod: 24%
• Without the mod: 320%

Outgoing Damage
——————————
• With the mod: 200.25%
• Without the mod: 75%

The mod makes no other changes to the Survival Mode settings.

USE CASES FOR THE MOD

Use the mod to give yourself the immersive experience of keeping yourself from getting exhausted, starving, dying of thirst, and symptoms of disease, without the endless cycle of death and rebirth from combat. For a personal challenge, I like to see how many times I can level up without dying at all.

You can also use the mod to get through an impossible boss fight without ending Survival Mode for good. After killing the boss, you can disable the mod, and return Survival Mode back to it’s original damage settings. Enable and disable the mod as often as you want in the Load Order screen. You don’t need to permanently remove it. Enjoy!

LIMITATIONS OF THE MOD

The mod affects incoming and outgoing damage when playing in Survival Mode only. It cannot be used to change the damage received and delt when playing at other difficulty settings.

DISABLING THE MOD

Before disabling the mod, be sure to sleep in a bed so the game will create an Auto Save. After disabling the mod, load the Auto Save. Survival Mode damage settings will return to normal.
