## How is it different from other modlists? So now there are many great survival mode modlists, like Lost World, Fallout Anomaly, or modlists that focus on lore-friendly like Life In The Ruins, A StoryWealth. My modlist is basically somewhere in between, retaining realism in some aspects, but without losing the atmosphere of classic fallout1&2&3\&NV. It's slightly lighter than other modlists, but it has all the cool mods in it, and they are all chosen for highest quality and fit the lore and style.(Some 80's and at least a few modern weapons) ## How difficult it is? This modlist is designed with survival mods in mind, because I think that's the best way to play fallout, but don't worry, it won't be as hardcore as FROST or escape from tarkov, it will be more difficult than vanilla(The early game will be challenging), but It’s also more rewarding.(you will have more powerful equipment in late game) ## Why make this modlist? Simply put, I try to strike a balance between exploration, combat, and storytelling to find what I think is the perfect gameplay loop. My goal is just to share the fun of modding with everyone, and I hope this collection can make everything more accessible. If you are still interested after reading this, then you are welcome to join Immersive Wasteland 2, this wonderful and surprising world!~ I encourage all players to provide any feedback & share problems and solutions encountered while installing or playing. This will help improve the collection a lot. Thank you all for supporting the collection! also a huge credits from the awesome modding community!

View content

- ***When starting a new game for the first time, the main menu may experience a delay while the script loads. This delay will vary depending on your system; more powerful systems may not have this problem.*** - ***After creating your character, your game will save and may freeze temporarily. This happens because multiple scripts are loading at the same time. Please wait patiently for a few minutes for smooth recovery.*** - ***If you fall from the vault or floor, it is due to uneducated shooter. Make sure to enable this feature only after leaving the vault.*** - ***If you find yourself stuck in a menu, try Alt-Tab out of the game and back in.*** - ***To ENB users, to disable the black bars at the top and bottom of the screen, open the ENB menu in-game by pressing "End"or"Shift + Enter". Navigate to the "ENBEffectPostPass" section and uncheck the "Enable letterbox bars" option.*** ### 📕The game mechanics will be very different from vanilla survival mode. So is recommend also checking out the description of [Immersive Wasteland 2 The True Survivor's Journey - Game-play Tweaks](https://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/77953) (Increase headshot damage, added bandages & doctor's bag, Perk tweaks...etc.) And [Immersive Wasteland 2 The True Survivor's Journey - Patches](https://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/77959) (Moved some mod recipes to Standalone Workbenches, Make PMC NVG requires West Tek Tactical Optics schematics to craft.) to see what gameplay adjustments have been made to the Collection.

*** # **Add Additional Mods** ### *Any added or removed mods in collection are done at your own risk!!!*

### *Mod authors usually list install instructions and their compatibility, It is recommended that you read them carefully before installing.* ## **Crafting - Home & Settlement** All are safe to use. ## **Clothing & Armour** Almost all are safe to use. Do not use AWKCR & Armorsmith Extended, It's obsolete and Replaced by Equipment and Crafting Overhaul (ECO) Note that some Clothing & Armour mods contain LL integration, or change content in the world. Very few such changes may conflict with the collection. ## **Weapons Mods** Most will work, but avoid mods that require these mods to function: Tactical Reload, New Calibers, CALIBER - COMPLEX, Armament, or any similar mods And some Non-ChamberedReload weapons like Gatling Lasers, revolvers, shotguns...etc may require the patch to reload normally, but it will not affect weapons function. (See Patching Weapons Tabs for details in[ Bullet in the Chamber Description](https://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/65834?tab=description)) Note that some weapon mods contain LL integration, or change content in the world. Very few such changes may conflict with the collection. ## **Gameplay & Overhauls / New Quests & Location** Most are unusable. Most of these mods are not compatible with the collection, and it is not recommended to install them unless you know it well or have a way to solve the compatibility issues. ## **Environment & Weather** Avoid any mods that break precombines. The collection has its own set of Environment & Weather mods, you can change them or add on top of them, but you must understand the mods and be able to solve Loadorder and compatibility issues.
