What Mods can you use with TTW?

[Fleebusia]

Hi all,

I'm hoping that someone can give me a feel for what type of mods I can use with TTW. I could never get into FNV, but had no trouble putting many hours into FO3, albeit in a heavily modded state.

Ultimately I would just like to know if it's possible to add some hardcore mods to TTW that increase spawns and/or make enemies tougher. In Fo3 I would use FWE+MMM with very harsh settings along with no-VATS and Iron-sights to achieve a more honest and balanced FPS experience.

Why not just play FO3 you might say. Well, although I really enjoy the atmosphere in Fo3, I would always have to endure the fact that I could never get stutter remover and Iron-sights to work nicely together, resulting in either playing low FPS to account for frame syncing or high FPS with misaligned sights. So I never truly got to experience Fo3 the way I've always wanted.

I've just downloaded TTW in hopes that A) It can be modded and B) I might finally be able to experience Fo3 with the convenience of official Iron-sight support.

If anyone could post something that resembles a Hardcore mod-list, I'd be very grateful. Also, thanks for making TTW available.

There's a More Spawn mod here in TTW forum, I dont know if modder up to Nexus or not. But More Spawn is very useful in increase spawns naturally.

There's a FNV mod call Better Raider Armor, which raise basic DT of the four basic raider armors to 8. This make them tougher naturally.

If you play hardcore, you should use a mod that raise Starvation/Thirst/Sleep to triple the original setting so you have to eat more, drink more, sleep more. I use Control hardcore settings

True Scattergun, a visual mod. It help the visual effect of shooting magnum buckshot. If you like shotguns I consider this a must have.

Fafnir Better Uniques for CW which make the unique weapons in CW more... visually recogznizable and better. Also a must have.

If you like PA stat and protection but dont like tin-can looks, you can install Power Armor look ugly mod, which basically give you a PA invisible underwear and you can wear other clothes you like. Also useful to equip your companion and raise their survivability.

There's also a Slower Level Rate mod. Basically it extend the levelup threshold so you stay at lower level more. 3x is very useful in Vegas because of too many quest xp. But in Capital Wasteland 3x might just be too much. 1.5x is more suitable.

In counter to my above paragraph, I must say that CW cells remember your level the 1st time you visit it. So you can find cells with level 5 enemies when you are level 30, simply because you visit it earlier. To counter this effect, at beginning of the game, cheat
setlevel 20
to raise your character to that. Then run like hell a full sprint through every open world cells in the south west and north east sectors. Then return to vault 101 and cheat again
setlevel 1
Now you are at start, no change in your build, but have a tougher world await

Oh nice. Thanks, Laclongquan.

That spawn multiplier is definitely going straight on the list. Hopefully there exists another mod that will make enemies tougher or have X chance to face higher-level enemies. I'm just too used to fighting groups of 10-20 jacked-up raiders at once in Fo3, so I know I will be disappointed with vanilla spawns in both worlds.

Control Hardcore sounds right up my alley too. I'm guessing this is similar in function to Primary Needs?

Fafnir sounds good too. Would you know of any others that add more powerful weapons to enemies so we aren't predominantly fighting guys with Varmint rifles and weak melee weapons? I'm accustomed to FWE/MMM where raiders have some very nasty weapons that can easily 2-shot you if you don't have any buffs up or decent armor.

I do hope there's a better alternative to that Slower XP mod. In both Fo3 and FNV I would set XP rate to 20-25% as I like to level very slowly. But those mods would just reduce XP gain instead of increasing level-to-level caps. I would have thought a mod like that would be easily implemented, but maybe I ask too much.

I feel I'm going to be missing MMM a lot in this, along with the many customization settings inherent to FWE. I never cared at all for the vanilla experience in either game. I just couldn't appreciate the overall experience when the combat was lacking any sort of challenge. And VATS, although a cool mechanic, is essentially a god-mode button, which I never cared for either.

I'm going to be really bummed if I can't get Bullet time to work in this.


Thanks again for all the suggestions. I will look into those now.

There is a philosophy about loot: loot = money+equipment. So the more they carry, the more for us to loot. So poor loot is not exactly a bad point, from a powergamer's POV. Because a powergamer can always find more than enough, especially when we are OCD.

As for tougher raider template, I havent found any. Nonhumanoid? I am not interested
----------------------------
Slower level rate mod is to stretch the threshold.

How many xp you earn is exactly that many. 300 xp quest reward is still the same. 50xp per kill is still the same. You just need to earn more xp to levelup.

If you want to slower level up even more, you can player.addperk that Skilled perk manually. That would add a debuff -10% Xp without anything else.

Indeed. Thankfully mods like FWE/PN come with barter settings that allow you to remedy that. They also come with loot rarity sliders which I would just crank down to compensate.

Yeah, I perfectly understood how that leveling mod works. I was trying to say that I would rather avoid one that uses that system. I already have the Skilled Perk, but that by itself won't be nearly enough. I have just learned that StewieTweaks has both a scale-all XP modifier and Barter modifiers so I'm pretty good on that front. I just hope that these are global, on-the-fly scripts that will apply across both worlds. I assume so because it seems to be a flat reduction in gained XP as opposed to scaling values for each entity. So it shouldn't have to reference anything but the XP value itself.

Regards tougher spawns- I may ask around and see if anyone has adapted parts of MMM's spawn settings as stand-alone mods. Or perhaps the author of More spawns knows how to apply a static or dynamic level modifier to govern those spawns.

I installed JAM which came with configurable Bullet-time and sprint. I just need to find something to make the world less empty and spawns less puny.

FWE is not compatible ever, and never will be. PN is ancient and outdated/broken.

Check Qolore's modded NV guide for replacements and mods which are compatible in addition to our recommended list.

[Laclongquan]

If op interest in barter setting, theres tougher barter mod which drive barter rate way up. Thats the only way to keep shoppings in check

Yes, I am aware. I mentioned those in reference to what Laclongquan mentioned about the caveat associated with running spawn mods. I'm sad that FWE/MMM components were never made standalone. Gun oil functionality from RH-Ironsights would be an absolute godsend too.

I'll check out that guide. Thanks!

I'm using StewieTweaks for Bartering. You can tweak and fine-tune every item group independently. Works really well. Unfortunately, it does not come with loot rarity options like FWE/PN.

I installed that More spawn mod you suggested, not quite up to par with my usual expectations, but at least it's something. I can't say I like how almost every single raider so far has a single-shot shotgun that does virtually no damage at all lol.

[Laclongquan]

Like i said, you need to setlevel 20 nand run through every raider campspawn to raise their levelnto useable threshold. Or 25hp raider will bother you in your 30s.

At least you can do this for cw. Mojave has no hope because their templates are too weak.

Oh yeah, that part. That really sucks. I can't even recall where all these areas are. I was actually looking forward to discovering them organically all over again. Maybe this is TTW's way of saying I need to go back to FWE/MMM lol. Sadly, TTW has the same damn Iron-sight drift as Fo3, so it's not like I am missing out on anything now.

Appreciate all the help though. Have a good one!
