Modder ‘D1v1ne122’ has released a new version of his must-have total overhaul mod for Fallout 4, Fallout 2287 – Nuclear Winter. This mod is for players that want to replay the game via some additional gameplay overhauls, or for those that want a completely different environment.
Fallout 2287 – Nuclear Winter pits the Sole Survivor against the bitter cold of Winter. This mod brings frosty aesthetics such as snow shaders, and visible breathing. Therefore, players will have to fight to stay warm with thick clothing and seek heat sources.
This mod introduces Core Temperature, Wetness, Ambient Temperature/Wind Speed, Heat Sources and Insulation.
Going into more details, Core Temperature is the internal temperature of the Sole Survivor. The core temperature of the player dictates the severity of ailments that occur over time and if low enough, leads to death. Wetness is a measure of how wet your character is. Therefore, standing in water, wading, swimming or sweating increase this. Moreover, Ambient Temperature/Wind Speed will negatively affect your core temperature and is more intense depending on the weather.
On the other hand, Heat Sources are any objects that produce a significant amount of heat. According to the modder, this usually pertains to sources of fire. There are several items that can give you temporary protection from the cold. By using these, you can – for example – increase your core temperature.
Lastly, Insulation is your armors’ ability to maintain heat. Insulation is on a range from 0-45 (+Base Endurance), 45 being totally insulated, 0 being totally unprotected. The insulation value of clothing and armor depends on the material, thickness and coverage of the item.
In short, this will completely transform your Fallout 4 gameplay experience, so I strongly suggest giving it a go. You can download the mod from here.
Have fun everyone!
