# Summary
---
This collection is some of my favorite mods from my current play-through. \
***My play-through includes Sim Settlements 2 (main purpose of my current character) but that is another collection and outside of the scope of this one and SS2 is NOT included in this collection.*** \
If you wish to Play Sim Settlements 2 Chapter 2 see the links below\
[Hardcore SS2 (Unofficial) - Collection](https://next.nexusmods.com/fallout4/collections/nrafjz "Hardcore SS2 (Unofficial)")\
[Sim Settlements 2 Chapter 2 - Mod Page](https://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/55817 "Sim Settlements 2 Chapter 2")
Show Kinggath some love..*More then just a settlement mod.  Him and his team have turned this into one of the **BEST** self-contained quest mods out there*

As stated on the summary, this is to ramp up difficulty, immersion (Complete Power Armor HUD Overlays and Pipboy Flashlight, Realistic Conversations), and graphical fidelity.

Check out the mod list with this collection and see what is right for you.

**NOTE:** *The 'HK USP .45' mod does not work correctly with the 'Complete Power Armor HUD Overlays' mod.  During troubleshooting I believe it is the Knife hand which causes the conflict.  When using this weapon both arms are crossed with Knife / flashlight crossed under the weapon bearing arm.  This causes PowerArmor issues in 1st person.  Just need to either use a different weapon in 1st person OR stay in 3rd person.*

From a fresh playthrough the added weapons will start showing up in the world around level 9 (my experience).  Also you will want to focus on getting the various smithing, explosive, chemistry, and gun perks to really enjoy making the new content.

#### *Installation Notes*
When installing from a fresh profile you may see a conflict between 'Burst Impact Blast FX' and 'Smoke and Flames Enhanced'.\
On the Vortex conflict resolution dialog box choose 'Use Suggested' and save

*INI Tweaks*\
The following INI tweaks will help remove the muddy textures from your game.  If you optimize using GForceExperience these values may be overwritten.

Combat Evolved

Leaning heavily into the Immersive mods this time around.  Added multiple visual effects based on health, alcohol and chem usage.  Including some audio updates (again for immersion).

Covering the throwable weapon category, added Grenade Expansion Pack2.

ADULT MODS
- CROSS Crit Gore-verhaul (borderline cause gross-out factor) 
- Mutilated Dead Bodies (just...yes.  Definitely on the mature side) *You were warned!*

The difficulty set in my game is Very Hard - Won't do survival - hate micro-managing (food, etc). This mod collection is meant for an intense but playable experience. Via the 'Advanced AI Tweaks' enemies and followers are smarter and will utilize combat t
