About this mod
In Nightmare mode, all NPCs and creatures are enemies. That means no doctors, no merchants, no factions and no followers. To progress, you'll have to sneak or kill in order to scavenge and survive in a world where everything wants you dead.
- Requirements
- Permissions and credits
Nightmare mode is a challenge mode recommended only for experienced players. In this mode, all NPCs and creatures are hostile by default and will attack as soon they detect you. That means no doctors, no merchants, no factions and no followers. To progress, you'll have to sneak or kill in order to scavenge and survive.
While it is possible to complete the game and all its DLC in Nightmare mode, it's not for the faint of heart.
Are you ready for the nightmare to begin?
As soon as character creation is finished, a message will notify you that Nightmare mode is active, making (almost) all entities hostile by default. Note that, to prevent soft locks, this effect will be paused any time player controls are disabled. Additionally, the following actors and cells have been excluded from the effect where required so that it's still possible to actually complete the game and all its DLCs:
Yes Man
Vendortron
The Lucky 38 Basement
The Narrator
Dean Domino
Christine Royce
Dog / God
Northern Passage from Honest Hearts
The Think Tank from Old World Blues
EDE from Lonesome Road
Otherwise, anything that detects you will try to kill you so you'll have to scavenge enough ammo, medicine and supplies to survive. Pair it with Hardcore Mode and your favourite difficulty overhauls for a truly brutal experience.
If the mod sounds familiar, it's a new iteration on the same concept as an older mod of mine. I still wasn't satisfied by the previous implementation and I wanted to release something for Halloween so I made it from scratch with several improvements. There are no traits or edits to NPC records as everything is handled by the quest and its event handler scripts. Additionally, I've ensured that NPCs like Trudy, Joe Cobb, Cachino, Big Sal and Nero will all be enabled from the start and that you still have a way to access Nellis AFB by finding a key to the eastern gate inside the Train Tunnel.
