This is a Hardcore mode game save for the Simply Uncut (as well as YUP Patch and Skirmisher) mod for New Vegas.

This game save takes place before visiting Mr. House and Benny, making it perfect for those who want a save without being forced to pick a side or being locked out of quests (remember, completing Ring-A-Ding-Ding will cause your Legion Infamy to be removed after leaving the Tops, and leaving the Lucky 38 after visiting Mr. House will cause your NCR Infamy to be removed). All Mojave locations (including those added by Simply Uncut) are available for Fast Travel with exception of the 3 locations The Fort, Dry Wells, and The Long 15 (to prevent bugs that could occur if visited early).

The player created character is asian and has green hair. The current player Karma is exactly at 0. The save has been on Hardcore mode the entire game.

Let's get immediately to the Special Stats:

Strength: 7
Perception: 7
Endurance: 8
Charisma: 6
Intelligence: 9
Agility: 8
Luck: 9


These specials stats should allow you to qualify for every perk. You can't get access to the Lady Killer and Confirmed Bachelor perks if the player character sex is Female, and you can't get access to Black Widow and Cherchez La Femme perks if the player character sex is Male.

All of Usangi's Implants have been installed with the exception of 2 implants: Endurance Implant and Monocyte Breeder. Since your endurance is 8 you can choose one of the 2.

You can permanently increase your Strength to 8 (via Spineless)  or 9 (via Reinforced Spine) with special perks from Old World Blues.

Skills:
Barter: 73
Energy Weapons: 80
Explosives: 77
Guns: 75
Lockpick: 84
Medicine: 76
Melee Weapons: 80
Repair: 75
Science: 80
Sneak: 80
Speech: 75
Survival: 81
Unarmed: 79


Traits Selected: Skilled and Wild Wasteland
If you notice the skills above, they are pretty high at Level 27 due to the 9 Intelligence (previously it was 10 at level 27 before I lowered it to 9 and increased Perception), use of Skill Books, the Educated perk, and the Skilled Trait. I recommend replacing the Skilled trait with something else once you are able to change traits in Old World Blues (to prevent a possible issue with the Ninja perk, make sure you have Melee & Sneak at 85 beforehand) as I believe you will max out your skills without the Skilled trait at level 49 (with the Skilled trait you max out skills at level 45).

Perks: 
Abominable (2), Agility Implant, Animal Control (1), Artificier (Skirmisher mod), Beautiful Beatdown, Black Widow (female version download only), Bug Stomper (3), Camarader-E (5), Charisma Implant, Child at Heart (Simply Uncut mod), Confirmed Bachelor (male version download only), Cowboy, Day Tripper, Demolition Expert (1), Divide Survivor, Educated, Explorer, Free Radical, Grunt, Hand Loader, Heave,Ho!, Intelligence Implant, Intense Training (7), Khan Trick, Living Anatomy, Lonesome Road, Lord Death (1), Luck Implant, Mad Bomber, Marked, Melee Hacker (1), Ninja, Perception Implant, Power Armor Training, Pyromaniac, Ranger Takedown, Scribe Counter, Set Lasers for Fun (2), Silent Running, Skirmisher (Skirmisher mod), Steel Wind (Skirmisher mod), Strength Implant, Sub-Dermal Armor, Terrifying Presence, Tough Guy, Travel Light, and Vigilant Recycler.

As you can tell perks were selected every level up using the Perk Every Level mod (not having it installed will not cause any issues) as well as perks from the 2 mods Simply Uncut and Skirmisher. Something to note about perks added via mods is that if you do not have the mod installed and save your game with the perks unavailable, they will be lost when you load your new save with the mods installed properly afterwards (you can still select them via level up with the mods properly installed afterwards though). 3 particular perks were added via console command to compensate for those who don't care about the Skirmisher mod; Explorer, Lonesome Road, and Divide Survivor. Lonesome Road perk was added as I already rescued E-DE in the Lonesome Road DLC thus preventing players from being able to access the perk the normal way. Divide Survivor was added by console command as I wanted players to be able to reap both the Brotherhood of Steel reputation bonus and allow players to access Dry Wells and Long 15. The Lonesome Road DLC has basically had all missions complete with the exception of the missions The Courier (E-DE has been rescued already, Ulysses has not been confronted yet) and later. Rawr has not been visited yet either, as I wanted to save optional bosses for players to decide the fate of. If the player chooses to prevent nukes from launching at the NCR and the Legion, since you already have the Divide Survivor perk, you will not be able to increase any of your special stats. Remember, since Benny and Mr. House haven't been visited yet, you can choose to nuke both the NCR and the Legion, (preferably complete I Fought The Law if you want to side with the Powder Gangers/Eddie now) then visit (wearing an NCR disguise will make this much easier) Mr. House to reset your NCR Reputation to neutral, then complete Ring-a-Ding-Ding!  to reset your Legion Reputation to neutral!



I have COMPLETED the following main/marked quests:

One for My Baby (evidence given, Jeannie May Crawford sniped), High Times (peacefully), G.I. Blues (Orris Exposed & killed, Julie Farkas talked to, NCR/Kings situation resolved peacefully), My Kind of Town (Meyers is sheriff for discount), Wang Dang Atomic Tango (Old Ben recruited), Come Fly With Me (3 Nightkins stealth killed, otherwise resolved peacefully, good Karma ending), They Went That-a-Way, Boulder City Showdown (peaceful solution that adds NCR & Great Khan Reputation), That Lucky Old Sun (full region given power & ended by talking to Ignacio for Big Book of Science & lots of Followers fame, after the quest was completed I used a console command to allow use of Euclid's C-Finder), Debt Collector (Jane's Caravan method, everyone alive), Unfriendly Persuasion (peacefully solved, kept the caps), Aba Daba Honeymoon (all Vault 3 related quests almost completed peacefully, Bounty Killer just requires you to bring Motor-Runner's Helmet to Hsu for completion, you can sell Motor-Runner drugs for 22 caps each, Turbo Recipe received, Jack taught how to make Party Time Mentats, Rocket, and Slasher. Despite the quest being "Complete," you still have the option to convince Jack to expand his business and teach him 2 more recipes, allowing you to receive more positive Karma and Khan reputation), Still in The Dark, Crazy,Crazy,Crazy (fixed Rhonda for peaceful ending), Eyesight To The Blind, Ant Misbehavin, and Sunshine Boogie.
All Lonesome Road quests completed except The Courier and later.

The following marked quests are incomplete but have had objectives completed:

I Fought The Law (Chavez & suspicious merchant dealt with peacefully, you only need to choose to side with Eddie or the NCR), Don't Make a Beggar of Me (incomplete to avoid Oh My Papa bug as well as give the player the option to inform the NCR), Bleed Me Dry (Mantis Eggs need to be returned to Red), There Stands the Grass (data available for Veronica, return to Keely for positive Karma & to progress in the unmarked quest Poor Meat Never Makes Good Soup as well as this quest, also this quest can also be completed by just talking to Dr. Hildern), Hard Luck Blues (choose between saving the Vault 34 survivors or shutting down the reactor for safe sharecrops), Volare! (you just need to use Loyal's detonator, however the hangar changes after this which can cause you to miss loot), Back in Your Own Backyard (hostages already rescued with Boone, a few Legion members and mongrels capable of hurting hostages stealth killed, you only need to talk to Milo to complete the quest, but doing so awards Legion Infamy), Heartache by the Number (go to Durable Dunn's Caravan with Cass, keep in mind this will force you to irreversibly select between Calm Heart or the Hand of Vengeance Perk for Cass), You Can Depend on Me (Dr. Hildern talked to & Cassidy Caravans "bought out", no other objectives done but the quest can be completed by talking to Alice), Nothin' But a Hound Dog (all brains collected except for Lupa's), and Guess Who I Saw Today (chewed Stealth Boy collected, talk to Doctor Henry to proceed).

As you might have guessed, I purposely avoided completing companion quests that can end with (irreversibly) different perks/gameplay affects. I purposely avoided starting Veronica's I Could Make You Care quest as I think the 1st answer could irreversibly force her to use a certain perk when the quest is completed. Cass' companion quest is a marked quest mentioned above that had a location purposely avoided with her. E-DE's companion quest just needs you to drop him off at the Brother of Steel or the Followers to progress. Raul's companion quest can be completed by talking to Ranger Andy in Novac (your speech is high enough to allow you to choose what perk he should get). Rex's companion quest is a marked quest mentioned above (I wanted the player to have the option of using Lupa's brain from The Fort). Lily Bowen's dialogue has not been started to end her Companion Quest. Arcade Ganon should already have trust points since he already commented from visiting the Crashed Vertibird, Repconn, speaking to Thomas Hildern, and that Lucky Old Sun, however you have not progressed far enough in the story for the quest For Auld Lang Syne to pop up. Finally, for Craig Boone's companion quest he already has 4 trust points, 2 from (stealthy) rescuing powder gangers at a Legion Raid Camp, and 2 from (stealthy) rescuing NCR hostages at Nelson. Just gaining 1 more trust point should allow you to progress through Boone's companion quest.

With the exception of Bolder City Showdown, I have purposely left quests that give NCR reputation unfinished. You can quickly get a bit of NCR Fame in Sloan  as I have already killed the Alpha & Mother Deathclaws, fixed Snuffle's leg, and repaired the generator, you only need to speak to Chomps Lewis for the rewards.  

All unmarked quests that offer discounts or expanded inventory from Merchants are completed with the exceptions of the The Strip/Legion/The Fort/Cottonwood Cove territory, Chet from Goodsprings, and possibly the Poor Meat Never Makes Good Soup quest as Keely hasn't been spoken to about the Food Additive yet preventing Forbes from taking it.


The player is currently at the Novac Hotel player home. The Footlocker in front of the bed has various weapons, apparel, and ammo (most importantly it contains the Pulse Gun, YUP Patch's fixed Weathered 10mm as well as the original unfixed Weather 10mm and the YCS/186 added via console command. It also contains some Simply Uncut weapons/ammo/apparel). The safe contains AID, Misc, and Pre-War Apparrel that are used in Recipes/Crafting/Vending Machines. All Mojave Crafting Schematics and Recipes (this includes all the ones added by Simply Uncut) have been collected. There are weightless crafting materials from the Skirmisher mod within the players' inventory. Finally, there are 83 NCR Dog Tags in the player inventory.

Marked Simply Uncut quests have not been started, however you do meet the requirements for them. If you have Simply Uncut - New Vegas - WSFITS Enabler installed, you should be able to start the quest by talking to Senior Paladin Adalay without issue. A DC Journal of Medicine is in the Novac Hotel player room safe for one of Hannigan's quests in Simply Uncut.

Because I visited all Mojave locations in Simply Uncut for Fast Travel (excluding the Fort, Long 15, and Dry Wells), you won't be able to see the sequences that took place before travelling to Camp Pahrump and Calada Merchant's Rest Stop as a result (I also looted those 2 locations as well as a looted some vanilla locations that had content added by Simply Uncut).


Finally, here is the player reputation with Cities & Factions: 
Boomers: Liked
Brotherhood of Steel: Idolized
Followers of the Apocalypse: Idolized
Freeside: Liked
Goodsprings: Accepted
Great Khans: Liked
NCR: Accepted
Novac: Idolized
Powder Gangers: Accepted

Factions/locations absent have had no Infamy/Fame received yet. I purposely avoided messing with The Strip reputation since I didn't want to prevent the player from being able to receive a discount from Mister Holdout.
