Play Hardcore without primary needs?

Recommended Posts

I am going to start a clean install for my first (yes!) playthrough with Fallout New Vegas with some mods I want to use (mainly project nevada, WMX, more perks and some graphic/sound tweaks) and I'll also be playing hardcore first time through. In other words I haven't started playing yet.

 

I have googled it and I have searched nexus for mods or tips (and read the project nevada readme for hints) but haven't found anything yet.

 

I wan't to play New Vegas with hardcore but without primary needs (eat, drink, sleep). I figured it would be a common fix as I believed many would feel like me: That eat, drink, sleep becomes boring after 100 hours or so (My Fallout 3 expereince with primary needs mod) but to my surprise (or lack of search skill) I haven't found anything on the topic at all actually.

 

Is there a mod that may cancel primary needs wo loosing the other traits of hardcore? If that possibility for example exists in Project Nevada, the readme dosn't meantion it (besids adjustment of timecycles).

 

ANY help is wanted as this actually is preventing me from starting my playthrough. I BADLY want't hardcore settings, but likwise is already bored of primary needs since before in Fallout 3.

PS If this isn't possibile, anyone who can help me compare New Vegas vanilla primary needs to the mod in Fallout 3? Is it better in New Veags somehow so I won't be bored as easily? I found it fun in the beginning, but tedious in the end. DS

Project Nevada allows you to adjust how fast the primary needs rises, all the way down to 1 point per day.

This would have course not stop it completely, but it would take 200 days for you to reach the first stage.

 

Edit: spelling error refuses to go away :s what is up with this edit function

Wait wait wait...

 

You want Hardcore without the need to eat, drink, or sleep...

 

What do you think Hardcore does? Because Hardcore without the need to eat, drink, OR sleep is....

 

Non-hardcore mode.

 

Seriously... that's all Hardcore mode really does.

I say play with Hardcore on and you'll see that it's a really good gaming experience.

 

Watching your physical needs like hunger, sleep hydration is just the same as watching your rad levels. It's not that much of an extra effort and I believe that HardCore mode enhances FONV like no other game.

It also adds weight to ammunition, makes stimpaks heal over time, makes radaway remove radiation over time, makes you unable to heal crippled limbs simply from sleeping & makes companions unessential.

 

It's all here.

 

But anyways, I also think you should give the primary needs a shot. You could always just lower them to half of their original values with Project Nevada. I'm also quite sure there is a mod out there that lets you eat and drink automatically.
