📋 About This Mod
This mod started as a remake of Alt Start but since then has turned into a so much more. It mostly focuses on playing as a different character other than vault dweller, on immersion, on Fallout canon and balancing the game a bit but also
CB started as a remake of AltStart mod but as of right now is more of a lightweight "big mod" having a lot of enhancements and options that AltStart never had.
If you don't know , Alt Start was a mod that allowed you to be play as various histories for example Slave or Doctor and so on. Is still found on Nexus however the newest version is only found in FWE and only works with FWE.
Why remake it? Because trying to improve on FWE's Alt Start I realized FWE is too big and complicated for me to figure out how everything was done . Would be easier to make a clone of it from scratch. I wanted to aim for something lighter with less menu clutter and as close to Fallout canon as possible especially 1/2. So I made this! CB. Aka Custom Beginning. All made by me from the ground up using resources I found around Nexus. See credit section for details.
Everything that has been added are from Fallout lore imported from FO1/2 or NV.
