📋 About This Mod

DMT - Dead Money Tweaks is a complete overhaul and extension of the Dead Money experience. Inspiration has been taken from the (good) Resident Evil games in particular, and a lil' bit of Silent Hill. It's sort of a pseudo-RPG-survival horror experience. Overall balance is still sort of close to vanilla, but with more complicated situations to handle and more tools available to choose from.

New Content:

[]26 new regular weapons, with optional wasteland integration.

[]22 new unique weapons.

[]6 new glasses with variants, some hats, and a handful of necklaces and pre-war clothing.

[]AWOP Dead Money is included as a core part of the experience, and it has been heavily customized. Lore oversights (Nuka and Sunset Sarsaparilla vending machines in SM) have been fixed, and most of the recipes and ammo placements have been completely removed or changed. Included notes have been completely rewritten. Many AWOP issues, like misplaced statics, items, and fog distances have been fixed.

[]New Ghost types with different eye colors and different weak points have been added.

[]A new Cloud Beast creature, based on F3 wanamingo concept art.

[]New Cloud Bugs, similar to F4's bloodbugs.

[]New boss encounters.

[]Brand new custom ambient and combat soundtrack during DM, composed by the excellent Nognow.

[]Ghost sfx have had their pitch reduced, to increase their spookiness.

[]A set of 4 player decision based perks, which you can get one of, based on which "team(s)" you leave alive or kill in the Sierra Madre.

[]A Police Training Manual can be found, which will reduce spread while standing still, but increase it while moving, as well as grant +15% damage and -15% attack speed with police weapons. Taking this perk at the start of the DLC will allow you to use an advanced training manual near the end that grants specialization in riot armors/weapons, sharpshooter weapons, breaching weapons, or special agent weapons. Each of these weapon and armor types can be checked by pressing activate or grab with the perk highlighted in the Pip-Boy.

[]New challenges to help you track unique items and keys, with substantial XP rewards for completion.

[]Integrated Armor Repair Kits with a menu allowing use of a Welding Torch, fuel, and silver/gold coins to improve repairs. Weapon Repair Kits have been enhanced in the same way. "High tech" weapons and armors use gold coins (Energy weapons, power armor, etc. are high tech), while normal items use silver coins.

[]Lots of new treasures, to be found in Dead Money, and integrated into wasteland loot.

[]Better typewriter model! These, along with new terminal models, provide hard savepoints throughout the experience. (Thi
