📋 About This Mod

Main distinctions with other mods
-
[]No damage multipliers, resistance, extra perks, and more/less exps
[
]Keeps vanilla level multipliers and minimum levels[]Removes level caps from all encounter zones (doesn't need to get it separately)
Gameplay-considered Exceptions
-
[]Sentries and Indexers (DiMA's memory): to prevent long auto fights
[]Bull & Gouger: Not fun to throw punches for 10 minutes straight
[]NPCs with the unique level multiplier: only removed level cap (e.g., Ghoulrilla King x1. 25, Travis x0. 75). However, Ness' multiplier changed from 1. 5 to 1. 25, since x1. 5 could be a bit excessive without the level cap.
[]Weak and small creatures (mirelurk hatchling, radroaches, rad chicken, rad rabbit, cats).
!Note: Glowing and Legendary radroaches will scale level with a x0. 5)
[]Non-combatants in towns (pls don't start it with the lore-wise...)
