    Is there a DUST equivalent for Fallout 4?

    in Discussion

    Posted

    Ha, yes there is! I happen to be using it now. It's is called "FROST Survival Simulator" and it's amazing. I think it's made by the same guy who made DUST for Fallout New Vegas, but I might be wrong. It's only for PC. It's a major survival game-play overhaul. You wake up a jail cell about 5 years after the bombs fell (same bombs, still in the commonwealth, etc.) He removed every faction and almost every NPC in the vanilla game, except a few like Codsworth (Codsworth won't know you). The vanilla NPCs don't exist yet, there aren't even any Super Mutants yet. FROST comes from the whole "nuclear winter" thing, as would be the case right after the bombs. It is brutally hard to survive in FROST long enough to find a bed, or place to semi-live, in general, hard as heck. ...As realistic as one can make this game. Prepare to die a lot!

     

     

    Get the FROST mod here: http://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/18898/?

    I've been using FROST for a while and love it.

     

     

    Using other mods with FROST:

     

    Not many mods work with FROST because of how much he changed. To find patches use the top search box and just type "FROST". You'll get a list of patches in there to see what's compatible. One popular one I know of that has a patch is Modern Firearms. There is a popular Gas Mask collection mod, not sure of the name but you'll find it with the other patches.

     

    Mods I've used with FROST:

     

    These don't specifically claim to be compatible, but they are (from personal experience).

     

    It's awesome to play without "save-in-survival" mods; the anxiety of knowing you may lose progress is scary in the moment (which is what makes it so cool). But, if you do get to that point and decide to find a save mod here is one that is definitely compatible: No Sleep Until Bedtime.

     

    Another super useful mod you might not think of is Journal of the Sole Survivor . It gives you a holotape-journal that you can write in from inside the game with your keyboard, and read your entries anytime. I use it for a few things:

    1. To document what I need to scavenge for (I always forget what components I needed, etc.) Basically, to help you remember why you are out, so you loot strategically. Carrying everything isn't always an option.
    2. To record where I found beds and locked doors, how many guards at a location I needed to hit for supplies, what time of night ghouls were out (expect tons of ghouls since the bombs recently fell).
    3. To document my usage of resources, for planning. For instance, how much water I was going through per outing, how far I could make it before I'd be almost dead and needing a bed or die, stuff like that.
    4. You can also use it to role play and journal your experience - reading your earlier entries can be really cool.

    Most people who liked DUST like FROST, it's more or less equivalent. Oh, and when killing ghouls, don't shoot their legs, it won't effect them anymore and you'll regret it. Save your ammo. Instead for ghouls, use a sharp melee weapon or fast knife, and aim high for the head and just keep hitting (vats takes too much AP). Ghouls hit fast and you'll never get rid of those rads if they get to you fast, get to them first. - Have fun!

    Thank you so much, i will definitely try it :D

    Game Stutters even when FPS is is good

    in Skyrim SE

    Posted

    So I run Skyrim SE on a 144hz monitor at 60 fps, but I keep getting these weird Stutters that makes the game look like its running at about 30 fps.

    And when this happens both of my FPS Counters still say I'm running at 60.

    I tried to run the game with enb installed but it made no difference and the only other people i've seen with similar problems are people running the game over 60 fps which I don't.

    The only thing that worked was to limit my monitor refresh rate to 60hz but I would rather not do that every time I play skyrim.

    Is there a way to make Skyrim SE run at 60hz automatically when I start the game instead of having to change it to 60hz every time I start the game and still having my desktop at 144hz when I quit Skyrim?
