4estGimp - AI Edits
This mod edits several enemy and combat behaviors for a more challenging experience. It is intended to be lightweight, and highly compatible while still making a noticeable difference.
It is based off KeyC0de's work Fallout4 Advanced AI Tweaks. His mod is very comprehensive and changes many settings which I never knew existed. The gameplay was a little too rough for me though. So I took the settings listed on his main page, cut the changes in 1/2 and made this mod.
22. 06. 04 Update
- Added NPC Combat Style records too.
This mod pairs very nicely with PANPC.
Running Raider Overhaul, Raider Gangs Extended, and a couple ghoul mods created a bit too much for PANPC to process all at once in heavy areas like College Square. So I turned off Muties adn Ghouls in PANPC. The AI tweaks here keep those factions dangerous while saving some script space. Now all the enemies are dangerous and gameplay is smooth. Previously I tried turning off Raiders but I want them run by PANPC because it is superior. Now, I'm on a fairly new PC and don't have to turn off any factions.
22. 06. 16 Two new AI Edit Versions created:
4estGimp - AI Edit Crippled - Removes Race record flags for "Can Use Crippled Limbs" from Humans, Super Mutants, Ghouls, and Synths.
4estGimp - AI Edit Crippled LMCC - Same as above but for Looks Menu Customization Compendium users.
Also, Super Mutants were buffed in all 3 versions:
- Radiation Healing
- Endurance
- Damage Resistance
- Energy Resistance
22. 12. 13 Two Super Mutant Redux versions created:
These are the same as the above two mods but should be used if running SMR.
4estGimp - AI Edits Crippled Super Mutant Redux
4estGimp - AI Edits Crippled LMCC Super Mutant Redux
Choose ONE AI Edit.
- Load the LMCC version BELOW Looks Menu Customization Compendium.
- Use the SMR version ONLY for Super Mutant Redux and load BELOW Super Mutant Redux.
- Load a non-SMR version ABOVE Super Mutant Overhauls other than SMR. That way the Mutant mod will use its own SuperMutantRace record if it has one.
