New play, need ideas

[Tilarium]

Hi all, been feeling the itch to play the game again. It's been a few years now since and I'm sure new mods have come while others have gone. Going to start canvasing the nexus later tonight to start working on a mods list but figured I would ask for some ideas and suggestions. One of my main problems is that the list will get so big it'll eventually cause the game to fall apart on me 1/3 to 1/2 of the way through. I get frustrated with crashes or things not working and up quitting, uninstalling and putting the game away for a months. Hoping to avoid that this time around by building a strong, solid mod list where things play well. I have two ideas for games that I'm going to look at, not sure which will end up getting played.

 

The most likely one is of course a modded regular game, the key to it is of course the main overhaul. New Horizons and another one who's name I'm forgetting, it's the other big one. Which main overhaul to people recommend? I'm not necessarily trying to make the game harder, just a bit more realistic and enjoyable. Then there are the key mods, things I can't play without. The first of those, for me is Sim Settlements and it's add ons. I'm hoping that one is still up and running. Pretty much after those it'll just be mods to expand on aspects of the game, graphic overhauls and such. CBBE or another body mod? Any mods to flesh out the world and make it seem more alive, more lived in? In the past I've used mods adding random patrols or wandering NPCs. Pretty much anything you can recommend.

 

 

Another idea which likely won't get played because I've never been able to find any mods to fit my needs is a mod to make the game more of a zombie apocalypse game. The main story can still be there, I know there is no way to really change that. So my head canon would be that the Great War was the trigger for the zombie apocalypse. But one thing I would want is a mod or a way to get rid of "futuristic" weapons and gear. No stealthboys, no lazers and ray guns. Just good old fashioned blade weapons and bullet spewing goodness. No mini-nuke launchers or things of that caliber. And. No. Power. Armor. I know, it's sacrilege to say that, but I want something more grounded in the real world. Any mods people can recommend to achieve this type of game?

 

Thanks all! Off to go entertain some company, hope I might have some ideas to look at and work with later.

Would kinda be cool for a zombie pack for ghouls + a randomizer to have lady luck on your side.
