Do you ever feel that Federation creatures are too weak? Yao Gui is not as heavy as you think? Deathclaws a joke?

Fear no more, because Beasts of the Commonwealth is bringing new data on the wasteland's apex predators to solve the problem!

This mod overhauls the attributes of these enemies, increasing their health, resistances, and damage, and some of them also get speed boosts, such as the Deathclaw, Behemoth, and Swamp Rock Queen. Specific details can be seen in the picture above.

It also adds a new berserk mechanism, which increases the creature's speed when its health is below half, and doubles its damage when it is below 20%.

If I must say, this mod can increase their attributes to about three times their normal attributes, so I recommend installing some mods like DirectHit or Better Locational Damage to make them less infuriating.

compatibility

Due to the nature of this mod, it is incompatible with all mods involving these records, so a patch is required if you want this mod to be compatible with these.

Even though this mod is designed for a hardcore health overhaul, it should work fine as long as this mod covers it.

If you find any issues, please report them to the bug department.

Install & use Install: follow the bundled instructions

  1. Unzip the archive from playbuff and read the bundled readme / instructions first.
  2. There is no universal mod manager for this game: some mods replace game files directly, some go into a game-specific Mods folder, and some need a game-specific community loader or tool first — follow the bundled readme.
  3. Place the files exactly as the readme says; mods with listed dependencies need those installed too.
  4. Launch the game to confirm it loaded; some games require enabling mods in settings or an in-game mod menu.

Install locations vary a lot between games and mods — the bundled readme is the most reliable guide.
