How important is it picking up everything?

[them4pples]

I find myself overburdened most of the time. What are the most important items I should be picking up? This is my first fallout game, but I'm enjoying it other than this issue. Thankks in advance!

i have not even fired up the game yet so here are some general fallout tips

stimpacks,bullets,spare guns of the same type for repairs usualy no more than 2, spare armors you can use to repair yours nomore than 1, rad-X, rad away, med-X, buffout for when you have sweet loot you dont want to drop use it to fast travle to the nearest vendor unless they changed that, pick and choose high value loot compare prices and toss the low value stuff, in NV and FO3 cigarets were good items for sell foder for their weight,some general healing foods nucacola water small things for those dings and scratches stimpacks are valuable dont spend unless you have to, if you see a new gun allways pick it up and compare stats with what you have and values small ♥♥♥♥ like clipboards beakers and ♥♥♥♥ unless its used for crafting toss or ignore it its not worth the weight it takes up.

Legit almsot everything can be used for crafting now though, I find myself looting everything in the area (except tin cans, but aluminum cans are gold) just because I now I will help me make more mods.

Yeah unlinke previous Fallout games, now literally every single item can be used for crafting. A telephone for example is quiet valuable since you get circuits when you scrap it, which are needed to build electric stuff for your settlements. In former fallout games, phones and many other junk was useless. Just check what kind of resources the different items yield for scraping them, and check what resources are needed for building the stuff in settlements. Unless you aren't into building settlements or crafting.

Is there a good mod for this? As the cheat gets reverted if you use power armor (or that's what I found at least)

Actually they removed weapon and armor condition from the game. Only Power Armor has to be repaired and that is with steel and stuff. You don't have to repair guns or armor anymore. (However, you posted 8 hours ago so I assume you might've seen the change by now).

another quick question. What's the point of harvesting flowers and stuff. Is it just for regaining health? I'm talking about hubflowers and brain fungus and stuff, not carrots and whatnoot for your settlements.

Is there already a mod for this? I just searched nexusmods and could't find anything :/

I believe they are used in with the cooking worktable or chemistry worktable.
