About this mod
Mod aims to provide subtle changes to Fallout 4 while preserving the vanilla game. It tries to balance issues that arise particularly in mid-late game. Mod prioritizes fun/logical gameplay over realism and is intended for Survival Mode but can be used for any difficulty. Changes have been kept to a minimum so other mods are not unbalanced.

CONFLICTS
This mod will conflict with any mod that makes changes to leveled lists directly. It should work with mods that add to leveled lists via a script though as long as they are later in the load order. In the future I would like to do my leveled list changes with a script as well so as to avoid this conflict. This mod will probably conflict with other mods that aim to make balance changes.
Full list of changes below.
