Realistic mod

[RavenDamara16]

can someone please make a mod better than "less gun users" that makes guns much more scarce on enemy's and i mean REALLY SCARCE like the chances of you finding a gun user are 1/100. id like to do more melee stuff but there are no guns to get rid of all the guns and make it more realistic can someone either suggest or make one that does this aswell as making the loot of ammo and guns less common

How would making all guns 1/100 be more realistic?

If I was going to create a mod for more realistic scarcity for guns, I would:

1. Make heavy, energy, and military-grade weapons scarce outside of appropriate factions, reducing most non-skilled NPC's (including super mutants who aren't nightkin or similar) to pipe guns, railway rifles, and junk jets, while making any more advanced guns they do have be in poor but not quite broken condition.
2. Find a way to add requirements to mods for such weapons such as recipes and special workstations (assuming it is possible to restrict the mods from being craftable at an ordinary workbench, albeit that might not be possible without completely replacing the normal crafting process with a scripted menu).
3. Make pre-war weapons caches a little rarer (there has been 200 years worth of looting, after all).
4. Ammo would be largely given a similar treatment, leaving higher caliber and energy ammo harder to come by, with the most readily available ammo being lower caliber, railway spikes, or random junk.

 

Natch, legendary creatures who have no business carrying actual weapons won't be carrying actual weapons, albeit something else valuable may be added to their inventory as a prize (maybe that legendary deathclaw had a bit of nuclear material stuck in it's hide somewhere, explaining it's ability to mutate).

 

Also, if I really wanted realism, I'd get rid of all leveled lists entirely, instead replacing such leveled spawns with something based on the passage of time and advancement of quests to render some areas more or less dangerous to reflect things like the Brotherhood or Raider groups expanding their influence, so if you power-level and are careful about where you go early on you'll have an easier time but if you slack off and wander too much you'll quickly find yourself overwhelmed.

Melee World claims to do what you ask.

 

The author suggests you use Less Loot and Ammo with it.
