Ok, i'm starting a new character and thought about role playing big time. I could do this on my own. ANd really don't need a mod, but if there a mod out there that just gives like negatives to your special if you don't sleep or eat like within a 24 hour period by chance? Anybody know any good mods just for that?

fwe?

FWE is perhaps a little overkill for just an "eat sleep drink" mod (Though I'd so, totally, incredibly reccomend it).

I do believe FWE's esd mod is based upon Real Injuries: Primary Needs, however.

I have found that http://www.fallout3nexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=2125 more fit my needs than http://www.fallout3nexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=2761 did. Check them both out, Many people love Fwe, It just wasn't right for me.

FWE 5.0, everything is customizable.

Getting FWE and turning everything off is still totally overkill

Primary Needs is good. There's also Simple Needs but that one is too... simple, for my tastes.

cool primary needs looks good. Yea, i saw the FWE mod and thought that was way over the top. I wasn't looking for like an overhaul of the entire game or anything. That's what it seemed like it was. For the primary needs mod does it really require the real injuries mod? do i really need that?

No you don't need it. There is a patch available which adds some improvements to Real Injuries and Primary Needs and that one only works if you use them both, but otherwise Primary Needs can be used without Real Injuries.

I'm not using it, but i am using a different mod that deals with damage dealt by both The pc and NPC's. the answer is no i don't think you really need it.

FWE seems a bit to intrusive to me. I go with Arwen's tweaks. Primarily because she breaks them down into modules. Choose only the stuff you want and then of course you don't have fuss with much. Just add primary needs or simple needs for the rest. After that you can use Darn UI and the mod for placing primary/simple needs mods directly on your screen to watch instead of having to look at your pipboy every so often.

Better still for the gals who want something for them to (or us guys who want uber cuteness on screen). Try out PittGal. This changes your pipboy into a super cute anime girl ^_^
