📋 About This Mod
If you use any modified hardcore needs, you may experience an issue by which going to any DLC area will kill you instantly. This mod fixes that by checking if your needs are >1000 and, if they are, quickly resets all your needs to 0. This script does not prevent you from dying naturally to your hardcore needs, as the game kills the player the instant a need reaches 1000.
