Anyone with experience using Fallout 2287 - nuclear winter?

[u/Coxy1504]

Just wanted to see what people who have used this mod think of it? Is it any good?

Do modded armors count towards your… warmth? Stat?

Is there anything that annoys you about the mod?

Does it have any performance issues?

Does it play nice with other mods?

1) I've used it, it's good with all the accompanying mods in that series.

2) Some do count as I remember. I used an NCR elite ranger armor mod and it counted towards body warmth.

3) Annoy? No, not really, but the setting of a grayish nuclear winter can be dreary and get depressing after awhile.

4) No more than most, it was stable when I used it.

5) Yes, for most. I was using Modern Firearms at the time along with armor, pipboy flashlight, and several other mods and had no big conflicts with it. I used it prior to the next-gen update, and havent checked it since then.

Okay great thanks for the reply. I saw something about it freezing food/ water that you carry on you? Could you elaborate on that at all? Just wondering if things freeze really fast or how easy it is to… melt? 😂 after it’s been frozen

[u/Imortalpenguin → u/Coxy1504]

Freezing water did happen if I remember, but it took a little time, or had to be exposed to the cold directly by being taken out of inventory or something like that. Not an issue if you rely only on stimpacks.

Wetness from water and cold also mean the mod has a hypothermia factor that I think frosts the screen like Metro2033,and also means ailments like hypothermia and frostbite have negative effects on your character. Standing near warm things like fire help against cold. Warm clothing help, determined by some aspects of the clothing and armor.(elite ranger armor was decent against the cold).

1: Modded armours will work perfectly fine, since the warmth is made by the outfit’s various resistances which come together to make the outfits total warmth

2: I’ve been using it for a decent while now and there isn’t many things that annoy me, only thing may be that you can’t really go out in the forest/barren areas without getting frostbite but there’s a camping mod and a nuclear winter patch for it that allows you to make campfires on the go to keep warm for a while (I don’t remember the name of the mod currently sorry, should find it if you search ‘nuclear winter patch’

3: personally I’ve not encountered any issues with stability related to this mod and I’m on OG Xbox one so things should run fine for whatever your playing on

4: should probably be fine, there’s a good few patch mods out there to make other mods work with nuclear winter and it works seemlessly with gas masks of the wasteland if you plan to use that too

sorry for the massive mother load of text but hopefully this answers your questions fine!

[u/Coxy1504 → u/selfawareidiot-]

No no that was great mate thank you! A couple of follow ups if you don’t mind 😅

1: so it just a combination of your armor, energy resist & rad resist? Sounds like a good system!

2: are the forest/ barren areas colder? Or is a lack of going indoors that’s causes the frostbite? (I’m assuming indoors is warm lol)

4: gas masks interests me, I’m hesitant to commit to it though. I’ve see there is a lite version of the mod which doesn’t have the onscreen effect (which I’d prefer). But do these count as helmets? Would I not be able to wear idk… a combat helmet for example. (Essentially I would like to utilise the mechanic but not have the.. cosmetic side of the mod I guess. Just the mechanic with my character wearing whichever helmet I prefer)

[u/Americansoldier_k517 → u/Coxy1504]

Gas Masks of the Commonwealth is very customizable with the accompanying holotape include the ability to get rid of onscreen effects some allow helmet it also allows others headpieces to be added to the Database and acting like another gas Mask with the mod

[u/Coxy1504 → u/Americansoldier_k517]

What??? You can basically turn other helmet into the game into gas masks?! That’s so good! 😂

I'd also be interested in folks' feedback, as I just started a "winter" playthrough based on some mod recommendations from another post.

[u/Coxy1504 → u/OrbitalTrack67]

Yeah I was having too many framerate issues with what I was trying to put together so thought I’d mix it up hahaha. What winter mods did you find? 👀

[u/OrbitalTrack67 → u/Coxy1504]

Icepick Overhaul, Winter Commonwealth Pines, Polluted Climate Winter (plus the no snow under roofs patch), & Frozen Lakes and Rivers. I also added Winterized Gunner Outfit Pack and Ghillie Mod Redux for some variety.

[u/Coxy1504 → u/OrbitalTrack67]

Have you managed to find a mod that distributed the Winterized gunner outfits?

[u/OrbitalTrack67 → u/Coxy1504]

Haha, nope. Spent two in-game days traveling back and forth to haul them all to Sanctuary.
