I figured both jsawyer and PN Rebalance would... break things. Or at least, that one's settings would override the others' and it wouldn't make a difference anyway.

I'm not sure if this is vanilla or tweaked by jsawyer or CCO, but geez this Tribal Wisdom perk sure gives gently caress-all for food points when eating critters. I can eat a bag of 200-year-old potato chips and get what, like -50 or -100 food? But when I eat out the entire juicy protein-packed insides of a watermelon-sized wasp or dog-sized mantis, I get a nutritional value of -10? The next time I have the GECK open, I'm making a quick .esp to boost that up a notch. Even with -20 or -30 points it would be way more useful; right now eating a critter--sitting through a 5-10 second chowing down animation for -10 points--is like stopping in the street to pick up a penny (i.e., not worth the time it takes).

Ok, so here is my idea for a thing. You get IWS, CCO, PNV, Jsawyer, and GST. You get all the necessary patches, you leave out PNV: Rebalance. You set your character to level 50, and build him exactly how you want, then you set all your skills and build the perfect guy, (Think of tabletop Shadowrun, or STALKER,) Then you use GST to make the enemies not bullet spongey and find a good balance between damage done and damge received. (Personally, I'm going to make mine 3 or 4 bullets will off you unless you're wearing power armor, then I'd want it to be more 5 ~ 10) You set everything to super rare. You get the mod that makes it 10k into the Strip and you gently caress the economy hard. You use an Alternate Start Mod, and you step into New Vegas with the perfect RP set up. No immersion breaking, just old school a man and his RP. What do you think? Would Puce Moose be better for that? PNV: Rebalance + Extra Options? (I would have CCO just because the calibration token is a great tool for when you have a poo poo load of mods) What would you reccomend for this idea? What would you add to it?

No immersion breaking, just old school a man and his RP. Personally, I feel that starting off at level 50 would hurt the game's momentum after 4 or 5 hours, when you realize that you're playing and RPG with no character growth or progression. A lot of my characters never even make it to level 50, and by the time they do, most of them end up looking real similar. Having 50 levels worth of points and perks dumped in your lap all at once seems less about building "the perfect guy" and more about jamming in points and perks wherever they'll go. I know that GST has options to manipulate loot frequency, but I'm not sure how the plugin works, exactly. Most items belong to numerous leveled lists, but the in-game GST control panel just has stuff like, "Food: 75%". That being said, short of using GECK/FNVEdit to crack open some plugins and manually change values, I think GST is your best bet for getting everything "super rare". Even Puce Moose's mod suite is sort of ineffective in this area, and he's got a lot of his values to like, 85 or 90% rarity. The thing is, if you have an item's rarity set to, say, 85%--that is, there's only a 15% chance of opening a box and finding something on that list--that's actually a lot higher than you might think, once you start considering how many containers there are, even in small areas. I remember setting the likelihood of finding a Stimpak to ~15%, and between Goodsprings and Primm, I had collected 16 or 17 of them. Same went for various chems and ammo. If you really want things to be rare--if you want a bottle of Buffout to be a nice little treat for clearing a cave out--you'll want to give items at most a 4% or 5% chance of showing up. Also, use Puce Moose's Reduced World Items plugin, which is configurable and does exactly what it advertises. I also feel like IWS could counteract any sort of scarcity you'd achieve through the aforementioned tweaks. More enemies could mean a greater challenge--especially if you fudge the values for everybody's HP--but it could also mean a greater source of gear to sell to vendors (or repair your own gear with) a steady supply of consumables and, as a result, more caps to circumvent scarcity. If you're conservative with IWS' settings, it might not be a problem.

I see what you're saying, and I've changed my initial idea a bit, I've set the cap to 30, and I've used PNV: Rebalance to re-do most of the important things, Like set the endurance multiplier to 2 (so that tops you'll have 20 ~ 100 HP with no boosts for levels) made Gun Damage static, and changed all Very Common things to 4% Common to 3% Rare to 2% and Very Rare to 1%. I've decided not to go with IWS for the reason you stated, they'll flood me with weapons and the only reason I'd take the gun off every person would be weight limits, (which are also more realistic.) As far as weight limits are concerned, The (slightly above average) should be able to carry 100 pounds, and the incredibly (read Strength 10) can carry 150 lbs. Experience gain is set to 25% since the next 10 levels need to last me the rest of the game, and I don't want to break the game in half. I set traders to super harsh, and I'll be playing a RobCo Certified recluse, with poor speech skills, poor weapon skills, but great with building, fixing, and bartering. I also turned on the alternative repair system, and you must wear a helmet to have DT in the head.  Hopefully this awesome, and not terrible.e: At level 20, my guy can carry 73 lbs, and has 52 hp.

It's a pretty novel idea to start the game at level 30 and drastically slow down XP gain so you can still develop your character. You should let us know how it pans out.

Been a while since I did a picture dump, so weeee~             The Right to Bear Arms mod is pretty great. 5.56 pistols and Battle Rifles fairly early on  Of course I'm using Signature Weapons so my .357 is pretty beastly, but still kinda neat going up against something other than single shotguns and service rifles.

While I try this play through, I was wondering if someone with GECK experience could help me out. I want to bump the player to level 20 as soon as the game starts, I'm just not sure what would be the easiest way to go about this. (Like, some people use alternate start mods, some people will start in goodsprings.) Is there a way to give the player a one-time use item that just gives them the XP? Or would it be simpler to create a quest that requires you to "read your journal" or something similar and then the XP reward for that quest would be the exact amount to get from No XP to 20. If I knew anything about Scripting, I'd be sure there was a way to just say "Ok you're level 20, you have 200 Skill Points, and 20 perks,) but god if I know how to get that to work.

No need for scripting, just use the console. Hit the ~ key while in game to open the developer's console, then use the command player.rewardxp XXXXX, replacing X with the number of experience points required to hit 20. This number could vary depending on what mods you're using. If you're not sure, play it safe and reward yourself about 10,000 XP at a time, and use your Pip-Boy to keep an eye on how much XP you need to get to the next level. You could also use the command player.advlevel, which immediately levels you up, but has certain drawbacks. To quote the wiki, "[the command] does not add the experience points. While you gain all level perks, etc, you will not level again until you have made up all the points for the levels gained by this command and the experience required for the next level."

I should note I'm making an esp for this, just to learn modding. I meant if I were working with the Geck, and I wanted a new player to start at level 20, (maybe make it a trait or something) what would be the necessary steps to do so? Can you reward XP on an item use / with a trait? Any help would be awesome, as I'm perusing the wiki and I'm not sure where to start, (I'll probably be better when it's not 2 AM.)

If you're still learning the GECK, then dive in there and take a look at how ingestibles work. You could make a new Base Effect that runs a small script that rewards the player 29.450 XP. Then make a new ingestible that runs said Base Effect. Getting the ingestible onto the player can be done with a distribution quest: That's a quest that starts immediatly and only runs a script. That script that dumps the item onto the player and stops the quest.

Also, a lot of re-texture mods or mods that use only high-textures tend to eff-up when you set your Texture setting to low. Make sure it is set to high as that will fix a lot of issues, (I'd had something identical when I installed Nevada Skies on my machine.) Ok, so I figured out how to do the XP thing, (I set up a trait that pointed to a quest and the script was as easy as "player.rewardxp 29450") So that was cool, good to know I was overthinking things. I've run into a new problem though, I've been able to change the stats of my PC and all NPC's universally in a satisfying way, but now I'm running into creatures and it looks like I have to change the template of each one by hand. Is there a way to make them use a calculated formula, or is there a setting somewhere I can change to make sure the creatures get balanced everywhere else? (I mean if you're chara is level 50 and has 224 HP, he probably should not be facing level 500 Deathclaws, which will be spawning since my mod starts you off at level 20.)
