I step out of Vault 111 into #ApocalypticWinter and it’s a balmy -40. I get frostbite before I’ve even left the grounds, back out the gate to return home to Sanctuary Hills, which in this weather offers no sanctuary. I drink the last of my purified water, the rest of it has already frozen solid. I know that I am so completely screwed I should have just stayed in cryo-stasis.

(Now THIS is #SurvivalMode!)

“This world is a ball of ice. The atmosphere is hundreds of degrees cold. Rain is not H2O, but liquid Nitrogen. Try to survive the harsh reality of a dying world.”

Fallout 2287 - Nuclear Winter

Inspired by mods like Frostfall and The Division, Nuclear Winter pits the Sole Survivor against the bitter cold of winter. With frosty aesthetics such as snow shaders, and visible breathing to immerse

Had an amusing time experimenting with a new how-many-Creations-does-it-take-to-make-Survival-Mode-tolerable challenge

It can be played a couple different ways:

- the least number of Creations, for a nearly vanilla survival experience and most stable gameplay
- or the most number of Creations, for the best overall survival experience but high-risk of stability issues and frequent crashes, adding to the vanilla survival mode angst

but only mods from the new Creations store, with or without the Anniversary Edition’s CC bundle

I made it as far as Level 48, claimed every settlement in the Commonwealth, only pursuing the Minutemen faction quests… but damn-it-all I miss A StoryWealth

#SettlementsReborn vs #SimSettlements2 :

Which one do I like more? Which one gives me a bigger reason to rebuild the Commonwealth? They’re such completely different mods, taking mutually exclusive and incompatible approaches to settlements-gameplay, and yet their intentions feel very much the same

It’s a conundrum, for sure
