LittleRedSonja and Mumpfy ArmorPack09 - Fallout is mainly worth checking through weapon, armor, ammo, and tool access, damage, recoil, reload, durability, and mods, and ammo economy and loot pressure. Do that in a copied save or test server before changing a main world.
Use Nexus Mods listing to confirm exact file names, branches, screenshots, and update notes; then judge the MOD by the in-game parts above, not only by whether the game launches.
- Check recipes, loot, trader stock, quest rewards, and repair materials.
- Fight common zombies, armored targets, and a small POI before trusting the balance.
- Check whether the new gear changes ammo use, repair cost, and early-game difficulty.
