Hot on the heels* of my overwhelmingly popular** Extremely Heavy Stimpacks and Absurdly Heavy Stimpacks mods for FO3 and NV comes Ludicrously Heavy Stimpacks for Fallout 4.

I slaved for entire minutes over this, so treat it well! (Seriously, the largely-unrelated screenshot took me longer...)

What does this do? - It makes Stimpacks weigh 9999 pounds, so that you can’t carry even a single one around with you (unless you want to walk everywhere very slowly), even if you’re using one of the carry-weight mods.

Why the heck would you want this?

For difficulty and fun***. With this mod, when you are damaged or crippled, you have to limp around, hide, sneak, and otherwise fear for your life while you desperately scavenge for a stimpack to inject or bed to sleep in. (You’ll probably want to use it on Survival mode or with another mod that prevents limbs from healing automagically.)

Yes, this really is fun, if you like that kind of thing. If you don’t, well then you probably shouldn’t bother to download this.

To be clear, this is for people who find FO4 to be too easy no matter what they do. I have a character with an END of 1. I’m doing a (nearly) all pipe-weapon play-through - no advanced weapons. No fatmen, rocket launchers, etc. etc. I almost never use power armor. I give my companions the most useless weapons I can find. I’m playing on Survival. I’m not taking combat-related perks. And yet by level 35 I’m already not afraid of taking on pretty much anything I run across. This mod made combat fun again for me. I have to scope out every encounter, snipe from a distance with silenced weapons, etc. etc. because if I get crippled there is a very good chance I’ll die. It’s a game-changer for me. (Using my FO3 version of this I once limped around the center of the Capitol Wasteland desperately hiding, creeping, and sneaking my way along with a silenced sniper-rifle for well over an hour before finally finding a stimpack. One of my best hours of gameplay ever. Period.)

I hope that the 2 of you that actually download this will enjoy it as I do.

All I did was change the weight of Stimpacks. That’s it. So in theory I suppose this should work fine with anything that doesn’t also change stimpacks. I’ve been using it for a few weeks now. No problems so far.

Requirements: A not-wanting-everything-handed-to-you-on-a-plate mentality. Oh, and Fallout 4. (Should not need DLC, but should work with DLC).
