Fallout 4 Loot Overhaul 2016 Edition

TLDR:

  Loot is redacted and moved to more realistic places, mostly behind locks. Edits over 4,500+ hand placed items in the game, not counting leveled lists and containers which were also significantly overhauled.

This mod is a loot overhaul, which means it touches on the loot and resources in the game wherever they may be. This means worldspace and cell references, leveled lists, NPC records, vendor price and respawn time gamesettings, settlement loot production from water furniture and activators, flora crop records and more. All of these are connected to the loot system and production in the game and each of them by themselves can allow the player under default settings to be swimming in loot of many varieties, all of which can be subsequently sold for a lot of caps. So a multi-threaded, mixed arms approach is needed, you cannot simply modify one of these things and call it an overhaul or have the desired impact of difficulty and relatively realistic strife this mod strives for.

A number of items have had their appearence in the game reduced such as Chems/Meds, Junk, Ammo, Guns, Power Armor, Clean Clothes, Bobby Pins, Water and Food in just about every aspect of the game and many were placed back inside locked containers. Animal part loot drops off slain creatures require the Wasteland Survival Guide 'Hunting the Wastes' Magazine #9 perk, like their stingers and hides and so on.

In Fallout Loot Overhaul most high end items like Stealth Boys, Mini Nukes, high explosives to name just a few are now
