Practical Health Mechanics

👍 PLEASE ENDORSE IF YOU LIKE THE MOD

💬 INTRODUCTION

Fallout 4 gameplay lacks any real sense of danger, mainly due to infinite health scaling and weapons that hardly do any damage, but also bc of an over abundance of health items that heal way too much.

⚙️ KEY FEATURES

This mod fixes key issues plaguing the health systems of the game, resulting in more challenging gameplay without tedious mechanics like bleeding. For maximum compatibility I've offered both a Lite and a Full version. Each version's key features are listed below. Download the Lite version if you want to leave Health and damage how it is or have other mods that you prefer to have handle them.

BOTH VERSIONS

  []Target specific Limbs with Stimpaks in Pip-boy like in previous games

  []Balanced Medic perk

  []Expanded Addiction System with Cravings and Withdrawals

  []Half-life system that influences how addiction occurs and the chances of it

  []Re-worked Radiation system

    The above changes are detailed below, with changes that cover both versions first, and Full Version only changes second.

    BOTH VERSIONS

    ADDICTIONS

    Despite the common misconception in the community, Addiction Odds for Chems technically didn't increase in FO4 (Even the wiki gets this wrong). What's really happening is the base addiction chance actually stayed largely the same, but a new Addiction Buildup system was introduced, which essentially made it almost guaranteed that you would get addicted to any Chem by the 4th use or sooner; no matter what the
