Are you though enough to survive the Nuclear Winter?






FROST is the successor to the much beloved and much hated DUST Survival Simulator for Fallout: New Vegas.

The goal of FROST is to transform the world of Fallout 4 into a free-form survival game with an emphasis on lore and visual storytelling. This mod will offer a mix of survival mechanics and realism with unleveled NPCs and loot. Most vanilla NPCs have been removed or changed beyond recognition. Set in the years following the Great War of 2077, you will see new lore, challenging new enemies, and many overhauled gameplay systems. Many areas in the game world have been visually overhauled as well.

Do not expect a 100% realistic gameplay, but a more realistic, difficult and fun experience than the vanilla game. Due to how Fallout 4's engine and AI was designed, FROST can not offer a 100% realistic experience, but a well thought out trade-off of realism, survival mechanics and unleveled loot and NPCs.

Set in the years following the Great War of 2077, you will see new, replaced lore, challenging new enemies, and many overhauled gameplay systems. Many areas in the game world have been visually overhauled as well.

In FROST, the goal is less about completing quests and joining factions. It tells its stories via visual storytelling and quests. Although FROST's focus is the survival aspect, it has a main story, several side stories, a few voiced characters and quests, and a lot of other things.


Discover hidden conspiracies, piece together the lore by reading connected journals and notes, and learn the fate and history of the survivors and factions that are trying to survive the Nuclear Winter in the year 2082 (five years after the Great War).
 





Guide for setting up FROST
It is highly recommended to read this guide on how to make a proper FROST load order. You will probably do something wrong if you don't read the guide! Don't worry, the guide is split into two guides, one of them is short and very basic in case that you just want to try out FROST or want to set it up as quickly as possible.

Automatic Mod List installation
Alternatively, you can use the Stay FROSTy Wabbajack, which installs a pre-made and plug&play FROST modlist for you.

Installation
FROST can simply installed with a mod manager of your choice, we recommend to use MO2.
You need to use the following mods to make a proper FROST setup. This stuff is also covered by the guide mentioned above. If you skip those mods, you will miss a lot of content and bug fixes. Please install them.



"Why do I need all of those mods?"
See the FAQ below!

"Which DLCs do I need?"
Far Harbor, Automatron, Nuka-World, Vault-Tec Workshop, Wasteland Workshop and Contraptions Workshop. Those are hard requirements! CC content and the High-Resolution DLC are not needed and not supported.
"I need help!"

FROST is now in the hands of its community. The add-ons which the FROST community made basically "complete" FROST.
If you don't like certain design choices, visit the FROST Discord to talk about there.
If you don't like the FROST and it Add-Ons, please keep in mind that it is a free, amateur production.
It did not take years off your life to download them. The design choices are the way they are because that is what we enjoy. Writing us an outraged letter cursing the names of our families probably won't get much changed, but a thoughtful suggestion might. The way in which you interact with other people makes a difference.

Thank you.
