Fallout 4 - Winter Wasteland

"The prediction of nuclear winter is drawn not, of course, from any direct experience with the consequences of global nuclear war, but rather from an investigation of the governing physics."

Carl Sagan

The most impactful changes and additions to gameplay.

There are four major overhauls included in this list:
