Realistic Survival/Apocolypse Games?

[angrymexican563]

I got in the mood for playing Fallout 4 with mods that make it more gritty and realistic but getting finding mods that do what I want and getting them to work is such a pain in the ass. Maybe there's a game out there that is already what I'm looking for? I want to play a game where the weapons behave realistically, you and enemies die in very few shots, food/water/sleep are scarce and affect gameplay if not fulfilled, things like that.

Better ask here.

Have you already tried Fallout 4 Survival mode? Does pretty much what you said OP.

So, you want to play the Frost mod.

Maybe eventually but initially they are describing Survival mode.

They said food/water/rest are scarce.

Random start so no easy start from a subway, and install also PANPC.

Frost offers, also sanity level wich can add some benefits but also negative impact in playing.

Which they all are in Survival.

I've played a lot of games that call themselves survival games.

But most of them are not, at least compared to what I envision when I think of this. The one that most qualifies is the Misery mod for Stalker CoP. That's a survival game. Finding a chocolate bar or half a mag of 5.56 is a real triumph.

If you are looking for purely sandbox; S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Anomaly (stand alone and is free on ModDB), then G.A.M.M.A. mod pack, look up Youtube videos on installation(not overly complicated). Anomaly is free and can be a good starter, you can fully customize player damage and damage received. with a little tweaking you can make a very punishing but rewarding experience. (there are STALKER purists who will say play the originals, which I agree for the story, but for goofing off in the sandbox and just enjoying that primo doomer atmosphere, GAMMA or Escape From Pripyat(EFP) all the way)

It makes damage received more realistic but guns still function retardedly, it makes food/water/sleep necessary but it doesn't make the game any more challenging because they are easy to come by.

I played Frost but didn't like it because it got rid of all the quests and NPCs. It made a big world feel empty and pointless.

Maybe I'll look into those.

Horizon is a great mod. Survival and desolation mode.

The entire reason I thought of it is that it actually makes food, rest, water hard to come by, and makes combat extremely dangerous.
