This is the first release in the Desolation series, when compiled, aims to create an expansive overhaul to the entire game. All DLC is required for this mod.
All NPCs, items, weapons, armor, perks, and encounter zones are fully unleveled now. This will make the game considerably more difficult. There are no changes to any CC content or quest related level requirements, but quest rewards will be altered. DLC is covered as well.
To help with balance, first, the perk requirements are unleveled also. Make the build you want! Next, DLC weapons/ammo and armor are added to the Commonwealth leveled lists. You will find them in vendors shops as well as on enemies. Animals and insects will no longer carry as much junk as before. You’ll mostly find body parts and meat.
Leveled list edits like this have been tested thoroughly, and I’ve never found them to cause stutter with any combination of mods or by itself.
Lastly, you have critical hits without the use of VATs. It’s not much, but it goes up with each point of Perception, bringing you to a max of 25% per shot.
FUN SIDE EFFECT: Reddit user ExcellentPassenger49 recently pointed out, loading this mod below other mods that inject into vanilla leveled lists such as my port of Tumba’s Gunner Power Armor, the level requirements for their variants will also be reduced to 1. Thus making them all available early as well.
The mod was made using both the CK and xEdit, as well as being cleaned by xEdit.
Logical Load Order Placement: Leveled List Edits
Compatibility: Do not use other perk mods with this. You will very likely end up with missing perk icons rendering the perk useless.
