Permissions and credits
Ashfall: Diseased
A Fallout: New Vegas challenge mod.


Ashfall: Diseased adds the Diseased trait, a perk which perpetually gives the player small amounts of radiation damage throughout the entirety of a Fallout: New Vegas playthrough. Additionally, this mod not only reintroduced RadAway addiction from the original Fallouts but makes it so that RadAway in general is much more expensive than it is in the base game.

With the Diseased trait many of New Vegas' mechanics are either inaccessible or potentially life-threatening. For example, waiting for any amount of time will cause the player to gain a sizable chunk of radiation damage. Players are unable to sleep or fast travel while taking in radiation damage and any rads ether consumed in food items or found in locations like Camp Searchlight will only add the players existing and ever increasing radiation level.

For now, that is all that is included in this mod. As time progresses there are plans to occasionally update the mod based on feedback we get with the ultimate goal being to create a challenging new way to play New Vegas that doesn't change too many rules of how the game is played.

Update: All development on Ashfall: Diseased will be suspended indefinitely for the foreseeable future. Previous plans to expand upon the mod through overhauling the Diseased trait itself and by adding narrative elements that would have eluded to events and characters included in Fallout: Ashfall have been scrapped.
