- Optional INI setting that enables a Sierra Madre Vending Machine recipe for Recordable Holotapes for a configurable price (100 chips by default)
- A few small scripts, no conflicts or performance loss

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Tried-and-true mechanic from Survival Mode—if you like that tension, this delivers.
- Lightweight and focused: does one thing and does it well.
- Solid community trust with 94 endorsements and nearly 94k downloads.
⚠️ Cons
- May conflict with other mods that add saving options or alter sleep mechanics.
- Not for everyone: if you hate losing progress, this will drive you nuts.
For Fallout 4 players who want the brutal saving restrictions of Survival Mode but don't want to commit to the full Survival difficulty. Also great for roleplayers who want to increase stakes and immersion. Skip if you prefer frequent saving or play with mods that rely on auto-save.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure you have a bed available before exploring—dying without a recent sleep means losing progress.
- If you use a mod manager, install this like any other mod; if manual, just drop the files into your Data folder.
- Pair with a mod that adds sleeping bags or camping gear to make saving more convenient.
