Forum:Do you use mods that change the gameplay in FNV?

The people here use mods that change the gameplay in NV? I'm not talking about mods that change things graphically, like terrains, clothes, weapons textures or the ones that add visors, guns and so on, but the ones that change how the game behave?

I always play on hardcore, no matter what type of game I'm doing. Also I have nothing against people that don't play on this mode and wish that the discussion hardcore x casual was leaving out of the topic, thanks. The beauty of FNV is that the player has the freedom to choose what's best for him or her.

When playing I use this ones:


 * Bartertown: it's a mod that control the prices in NV. The game starts too unbalanced for my tastes, with everything from the Sarsaparilla to the Nucka Cola Truck valuing too much. The default game starts with everything costing 45% of value for selling and 155% of value for buying, even if your barter skill is at 1! This mod change this, so the barter now starts at 10% (or even lower!) and goes rising as you put points in the skill. There are 4 different versions called Bartertown Dangerous, Bartertown Rough, Bartertown Peaceful and Bartertown Idyllic. Doesn't change nothing more than this.

 * T3T Misc Item Icons - New Vegas: This mod apply new icons to the items in your inventory AND classified them by use, like drugs, food, campfire, bench, etc. The armor, ammunition and weapons are always the first thing to come, then the rest, making much more easy to find things in your list. To be honest, no matter what inventory sorter you use, Fallout 3 and NV inventory are a mess, a PoS and a pain to find things. And people complained about the inventory in the first Mass Effect...

 * Experience Level Adjust Mod: Another mod that adjusts experience, what's new? Actually, I like this mod because it not force you to slow your experience to some rigid level and do not punish the player like manny others. You can slow your experience or you can faster your experience - the choice is yours! - it goes up and down always in increments of 5%. The best part however is an optional plugin that slow the experience gainned with hacking, killing and lockpicking things, including the kills that your NPCs does. So even if you do not use the main mod, the optional can be used, so you don't gain +50 XP for killing a Giant Mole Rat.

 * Dynamic Herbalism: if you want a even more challengin game use this one, albeit I not always turn it on to be honest. It will really increase the difficulty of the game. What it does is that your skill survival now counts for something! This mod influence how you collect or craft the various plants in the game, so if your survival skill is too low you can't collect the various flowers and cactus in the wasteland. Also this will influence the ammount collected, so it's not guaranteed that you will always pick two Nevada Agave Fruit, sometimes it's only one and if your skill is two low you'll fail and collect nothing.
