It's a Hard Life

This mod is for those looking for a bit more of a challenge, but not overly difficult.

This mod is meant to be used alone and will not work with other mods that may be installed as it overhauls a number of things in the game.

Also this has been made to only work with the Classic game and not with any DLC or custom scenarios. Possible it may not work with Anniversary Edition also, so best to leave that unchecked.

About the Mod:
As mentioned before, this mod adds a variety of changes to the base game. Some of these changes include the following....

* Guns are no longer craftable and same for Ammo
* Crowbar is no longer craftable, and instead must use lockpicks to unlock things, unless you happen to find a crowbar.
* Beds now reduce tiredness a little slower than normal, and also now require cloth to make. Cloth can only be scavenged.
* Knifes, Shovel and Hatchet now do quite a bit less Melee Damage
* Can no longer craft the bottle of pills.
* Only 1 Trap per shelter, no longer accepts canned food.
* Can only craft 4 Vegetables at a time and now requires Premium Fertilizer to do so.
* Eating Raw Food will now make you sick. Vegetables are fine.
* Some small changes to various Traders.


* Cloth. Required for beds and the armchair. Found via looting.
* Baseball Bat. A better weapon alternative than original melee weapons as does more damage.
* Machete. Even better than the Baseball bat.
* Premium Fertilizer. Crafted with the Garden and used to make Vegetables. Can not be obtained any other way.

These are the main changes this mod provides, just to change things up a little and provide a bit more of a challenge for those seeking it.

If there are any issues with this Mod, please let me know.


* Currently English Only *
