Hacking Difficulty w/Mod

[kesnit]

I just picked up NV for the PC, but have been playing it on a console since it came out. So far I've only added a few mods, and I seem to have a problem.

 

I went to hack the computer in the schoolhouse in Goodsprings, which is listed as "Easy." However, it was giving me 7-letter passwords, which I believe is "Hard." I assume one of the mods changed the difficulty, but I cannot figure out which one and how to reset it. I know there are a few mods that remove the mini-games for hacking/lock picking, but I would rather not go that route.

 

I'm running Project Nevada, NVEC-Complete, A World of Pain, More Traits/More Perks, Unified HUD, and the Mod Configuration Menu.

Well there is this

but that looks more like a cheat akin to what you were trying to avoid.

There's also this thread. See the 2nd post down. If you use that strategy, hacking might be easier.

Sorry for the confusion. I don't think I phrased my post very well. What I am looking for it how to reset whatever mod is making hacking more difficult back to vanilla. So when a console says it is "Easy," I get passwords of the "Easy" length (which I think is 4 or 5), not 7-letter passwords.

Password lengths are relative to science skill. So if you science is 25 you'll get a 7-letter password, if it's 100 you'll get 4 or 5 letters. It's not a glitch, it's in the vanilla game.

Ah... OK. Maybe that's a change from the console version, or maybe I've always started with a higher Science when I've played before. Thanks.
