Description

Rebalancer is the most comprehensive game balance mod to date, currently providing options for 45 different settings. This allows you to take extensive control of the game's difficulty through modular esp files.

Most included settings will make the game more difficult, but many options allow you to tone down more tedious aspects of the game, or compensate for increasing the difficulty of something else.



Rebalancer includes a fully functional fomod installer to help you choose your desired settings quickly, with descriptions for each setting. Manual installation is also support, with a comprehensive list of modules in the readme file.



Don't feel like going through every setting and picking a value?

You can use one of Rebalancer's three prebuilt balance files to help roughen up The Commonwealth in a matter of seconds, or grab Rebalancer Lite which merges rebalancer modules into 12 packages.

A functional FOMOD installer is included which will allow you to select either a prebuilt balance patch, or pick custom .esps with the values you're looking for.Browse through the categories for descriptions of the files and suggested settings for any modifications you wish to use. Use no more than one file per subcategory (01A, 01B, etc.)Rebalancer is a fairly large mod, so there's bound to be some compatibility issues with other gameplay mods. Luckily, Rebalancer's modularity allows you to pick and choose what parts to use, so you're free to mix in other gameplay mods.General rule of thumb: if you think they edit the same thing, they probably do.The only oddball modules that have extra edits to make sure things work properly are radiation and quicker stims, which both edit the medic perk.You may also be interested in Personal Patch Emporium by lunarionsilver which includes a handful of patches for Rebalancer and other mods.01A - XP Mult- Modifies global experience modifier, and will affect any other experience changes.- Format: Percent of base experience- Suggested: 50.01B - Exploration- Modifies (or removes) experience gained from hacking, lockpicking, persuasion, and discovering locations.- Format: Percent of base experience- Suggested: 20001C - Crafting- Modifies (Or removes) experience gained from modifying armor and weapons, as well as cooking and using the chem station- Format: Percent of base experience- Suggested: None, use default experience.01D - Settlement- Modifies (Or removes) experience gained from settlement building.- Format: Percent of base experience- Suggested: 5002A - Player Damage- Changes damage done by player on all difficulties.- Format: Percent of base damage- Suggested: 15002B - NPC Damage- Changes damage done by NPCs on all difficulties.- Format: Percent of base damage- Suggested: 20002C - Chem Duration- Modifies the amount of time required for healing effects to occur on all difficulties.- Format: Percent of default time.- Suggested: 750%02D - Legendary Chance- Modifies (Or removes) the chance of legendary spawns, relative to normal (100).
