Leaving vault

[RickyJay]

I just left the vault and was immediately hit by radiation. I thought it was safe to go outside. It also started raining immediately and the rain didn't stop. The only time I was not getting hit by radiation is when I went indoors, I guess away from the rain which is probably radioactive, but the rain never stopped...I got to Megaton, saw the doc, rested and it is still raining. What do I do? I cannot spend the whole game inside away from the never-ending rain.......thanks.

What mods are you running? Because this is most certainly not part of the vanilla game.

 

I know the radioactive rain thing is a feature of certain mods (can't say which, because I don't use them mods). Suggest you check the notes for whatever mod(s) you are using and, if this situation is not to your liking, change some settings (if possible) or remove the mod entirely.

Yeah. It is definitely a mod (Fellout, or something similar) that introduces weather. There is no rain, at all, in the vanilla game, let alone radioactive rain.

 

THe idea behind the radioactive rain is to make foods/drugs/perks, that increase radiation resistance, more useful. So your options are to make use of those items/abilities, or turn off the radioactive compnent of the rain.

 

There should be an option to disable the radioactive properties of the rain, though it may only be available at install. You may need to uninstall the mod and reinstall to get the option. I remember having the option at one point, i just can't remember exactly how/when i got the option.

 

FYI: It is usually recommended to play the game as vanilla as possible on your first time through, and only mod things you know you want to change. That way you know what are factors of the game, and what are factors of mods. It also makes for better replayability on subsequent playthroughs.
