📋 About This Mod
Advanced Needs 76
a Flashy(JoeR) mod
The next iteration of Advanced Needs comes to PC users and the Nexus with all of the same kinds of controls you are accustomed to, plus adding entirely new functions that elevate Advanced Needs to the next level!
Its very complicated to try to explain every single thing AN76 does, but I am going to try my best. Existing AN2 users will feel right at home though.
Please remember to use Control-F to search this page for any information that you may need prior to asking a question. It will save you time and save me frustration at answering the same questions, over and over again.
What is Advanced Needs 76?
An76 is a customizable survival mode that completely replaces and does SO much more than Fallout 4's base survival mode. It doesn't rely on a single aspect of Bethesda's HC_Manager script. It allows you to create your own survival mode within Very Easy through Very Hard game modes. An76 will NOT work in base game survival mode, unlike AN2 which allowed such.
An76 allows you to tailor your hunger, thirst and fatigue accumulation. It allows you to specify that the air under certain conditions is toxic, requiring the use of a gasmask. It allows you to fish, to chop trees, the scavenge cars for scrap. It allows you to require brushing your teeth, bathing and going to the bathroom. It makes eating dangerous and RADS even more deadly. Combat, as well as many other factor, like swimming, become a cautionary tale about the perils of diseases. And An76 allows you to place a CAMP anywhere, be it in the Commonwealth, Far Harbor, Nuka World or any mod added worldspaces, just like in Fallout76! All of this and so much more. It includes revamped Stealth Takedowns. It includes revamped Disguises. It includes the ability to craft your own ballistic ammo. It includes COFFEE!!!
Really, it does so many things that it would take a long time to write it all down, seriously. But the MCM as well as the holotape as VERY explanatory as to what each system does and how to use it. Please remember to ENDORSE and VOTE for the mod if you like it! Thanks in advance!
