This is one of my favorite mods but I do wish it was more customizable with a 1 rad per two seconds option and/or more responsive to perks, armor excreta.
I'm using this with TTW, ROOG, Famine, Hardcore of course but this mod especially early game makes ever decision matter when traveling from one location to another even in Megaton. Radaway and doctors are crucial life saving necessities.
Love this mod and the way it changes the playstyle of the game. Hope for more like it to come.
This is a cool idea! Have you considered making a weaker version? I haven't downloaded it to check how feasible it is yet, but the effect could be a lot weaker and still make you use Rad-X and RadAway rather than selling them for easy money. (But maybe it won't accept a lower value than 1?)
Also, does it mean you constantly have the clicking geiger counter effect?
people have already commented on how it's not lore-accurate or realistic so I won't be too repetitive, aside from the Mojave not being particularly irradiated one Issue I've always had with these type of mods (like the cold weather survival mods in Skyrim) is that NPCs don't react to the change, in Skyrim that is the player freezing to death in full winter gear while looking at a shirtless bandit totally ignoring the cold, here it is the same but with rads.
still a interesting option for a challenge run, might make people actually pick radiation related perks which are criminally underutilized in FNV, just because there is basically no areas irradiated enough that a shot or 2 of Rad-X and 5 or 6 Rad away can't fix, only really parts of Lonesome Road and vault 34 are radioactive enough and large enough to actually make radiation a threat in the base game.
technically it could potentially soft-lock you if you get stuck somewhere without any rad away so I probably won't use this mod for normal playthroughs that aren't specifically built around it.
this is cool but from a Lore standpoint doesn't make that much sense. D.C., The Boneyard, The Pitt, NYC, The Lonesome Road especially, are all irradiated hell holes, but The Mojave and most parts of the US aren't. There's intense, concentrated pockets throughout the Mojave that should be (and in some cases can't be outright) avoided. Having the entirety of The Mojave being irradiated doesn't seem right. Also it's insane that this stacks with Irradiated Lonesome Road.

Thank you for your feedback! If you like radiation mods, may I recommend my Robes of Atom's Devoted Standalone and Atom's Touch Standalone for New Vegas or my Collider Fist for Fallout 4, as well. In addition, I'm planning to port Background Radiation to both Fallout 3 & 4.

Thanks for your comment! I'm also planning to port this to Fallout 3 and (hopefully) Fallout 4.
