Tips to a "realistic" build for Fo4?

[Skyler712]

The goal with this is not picking any of those "godly" or "supernatural" skills like ghoulish, penetrator or ricochet.

Its true power relies in:

intelligence: every mine, bomb, weapon, armor,medicine (yeah, drugs too) or robot which can be created,
charisma (surviving in a wasteland without learning some social skills? nah)
capabilities of making money (to have better weapons, armor and settlements)

Tips to consider:
-He doesnt have telescopic eyes, nor a spy who can sneak like a shadow.
-Setting up with Survival difficulty (i was using survival options, but is optional)
-This build was made with the intention of using a mod who doesnt give you a single SPECIAL point in creation characters, so you can only have 8 additional points (Special book and all bobbleheads) .
-The level cap is 81.

Thx for everything and have fun!

Creature mod adds squirls and rats and chicken and such.

If there weren't squirrels, where would we get squirrel bits to make squirrel-on-a-stick?

As for the OP, one tip for Automatron (in order to get robots) is to use the voice recordings scattered through the Mechanist's Lair to bypass the final fight. You'll want to complete the Automatron DLC to access the full array of robot parts (minus those few extra from Nuka World), and even if you've already fought your way right through the lair, it's far easier to go hack the master-grade terminal back near the entrance and override security than to handle that fight (a robot companion with the hacking module can handle it, with a bit of luck).
