I do not give a permission to re-use or re-upload this mod. If you want to use it for your own project - contact me first.

- Repair, as a skill, was probably the most underdeveloped skill in the game. Yes, it had Jury Rigging but...that's it. Other skills in NV usually have several gameplay mechanics they affect on, and from 4 to 8 perks, directly or at least spiritually related. Repair has whole 2 perks. This felt somewhat unfair. SGO gives a new life to it by adding 6 brand new perks which require certain level of Repair and give you both utility and combat benefits, allowing you to play as a true technician from both roleplay and character build perspective
- Healing actual medicine items (all types of stimpaks, healing powders etc) strength was nerfed slightly
- Barter formula was greatly rebalanced. Initially, buying is much more expensive and selling won't give you much, but effect of Barter skill on this was greatly improved, to give at some sense. New Barter-related perk was added.
- Vendor caps amount was slightly decreased. No more selling 2 days of your loot to a single trader
- Repair cost is twice cheaper (vanilla repair cost was ridiculous TWICE as expensive as item price, meaning for full repair you could buy 2 same items in perfect condition, aha)
- Value of some items was rebalanced to prevent money exploits
- Karma and reputation gain/loss was rebalanced to make actually interesting. No more becoming a saint after making 3 quests, but also no more becoming a faction #1 enemy for killing a single person (yeah it was that ridiculous - remember killing Vulpes Inculta in Nipton and instantly becoming vilified by the Legion or killing single NCR officer and becoming vilified too - no more)
- Some ammo and junk crafting recipes were rebalanced
- All melee weapons reach was made rational (some 1h visually shorter vanilla items had longer reach than 2h swords, aha)
- You gain 5 less Skill Points per level (5 base instead of 10, plus INT/2, this was not changed). You was able to literally raise all your skills to 100 at level 35 or so, even without maxed INT and skillbooks. Now, skill points system and skill points oriented perks actually have sense
- Poison Resistance multiplier lowered. No more getting half of maximum Poison Resistance just from Endurance
- Poison Resistance buff from Blood Shield was reduced
- Weapon Binding Ritual now actually has working perception bonus and limbs damage ignore during its duration. On the other hand, health damage effect was fixed too and it damages you for 2 dmg per second during whole 2 minutes duration - a double-edged effect as it should be
- Action Point cost for all weapons was increased to balance V.A.T.S. and make it less bloody overpowered. Some difficulty mods disable V.A.T.S. completely, but once again, I prefer to give player balance and flexibility - while you will be able to make significantly less attack in V.A.T.S. by default, AP cost related perks were strengthened and new V.A.T.S. related perks were added - for those who prefer such a playstyle. As any other specialized builds, V.A.T.S build will be harder to play in the beginning, but stronger and more rewarding in the end, compared to vanilla game
- Many other chems were balanced - initial duration was reduced, making chem-oriented perks more important (new chem-oriented perks were added too to make this more rewarding in return)
- Stealth Boy duration time was reduced and it doesn't magically stops enemies from attacking you when activated. In return, new Stealh Boy related perk was added which may give you new, tremendous benefits...
- Plethora of inconsistencies/oversights between various consumables was fixed/improved too. Why Large Wasteland Tequila had same weight as its lil variant? Or weightless Sierra Madre Martini? On the other hand, ant nectar is rich for nutrients and liquid, and is used by many modern tribes as drink/food. So it now gives (little, to not break balance, but plesant for immersion) dehydration restoration effect. Etc - you got the idea.
- Radiation Accumulation is 2 times faster than in vanilla
- Radiation Accumulation when walking/swimming in irradiated water in increased
- Starvation Accumulation is 3 times faster than in vanilla (was really slow in vanilla)
- Sleep Deprivation Accumulation is 4 times faster than in vanilla (this was a pure joke - in vanilla you was able to survive 17 days without sleep, now it's ~4.5 days to get to critical sleep deprivation stage)
- Dehydration Accumulation is 1.7 times faster than in vanilla (it was pretty ok, so raised this just a bit)
- Starting weapon spread is slightly bigger with all ranged weapons
- Starting V.A.T.S. hit chance is slightly lower with all ranged weapons
- Weapons and armors degrade slightly faster than in vanilla
- Carry Weight rebalanced - 50 base and 20 mutilplier instead of 150 base and 10 multiplier - same 250 in total at 10 STR
- Action Points rebalanced - 35 base (instead of 65), 6 multiplier (instead of 3) - same 95 in total. Both CW and AP now have much greater attribute influence
- Hit Points rebalanced - 10 Endurance multiplier (was 20) and 3 Level multiplier (was 5). No more having twice more HP than everyone else just because
- Limb Damage increased
- Penalties to accuracy with weapons when limbs are crippled made heavier
- Crippled leg/s movement speed is much slower (0.7 and 0.4 instead of 0.85 and 0.75). How can one run jus a bit slowly with both broken legs? Both this and change above are affecting both you and NPCs
- NPCs Endurance HP multiplier increased (from 5 to 7)
- Player Endurance HP multiplier decreased (from 20 to 10 - no more twice/trice HP as enemies just because you're Courier)
- DR-increasing chem effects were reduced: Med-X and Slasher from 25% to 20%, Battle Brew from 35% to 25% - no more tanking deathclaws for minutes without healing having protection cap from chems only. On the other hand, SGO introduces several new perks, through which you can gain DR bonuses permanently. This approach still makes you possible to achieve the DR cap (and even overcap) - but in more rewarding and balanced way which directly involves character builds and not just 2 buttons chem-spamming
- Level ups require around as twice as more experience
- All types of stimpaks now have weight. It's really tiny though - just a bit more than weightless. Other weightless chems (like Med-X, Buffout, Jet etc) are still weightless
- Tagged skills are now work like in classic FO games - they don't give immediate 15 skill bonus, but each point invested gives twice as much instead
- Some armors DT and other stats was rebalanced. Remember the raggy lobotomite mask which had more DT than Riot Helmet? Or Bounty Hunter Duster which had 6 DT while literally same looking Regulator Duster had zero DT? Weightless Desert Ranger Helmet? How the hell armored vault jumpsuit gives 2 more DT then leather armor (yeah, it has shoulderpad but it's still same very clothing). Joshua Graham armor and Courier Duster DT values were swapped to properly represent the best light armor you can receive for completing hardest game DLC (so J.G. armor now has 13 DT and C.D. has 15). Well, you got it
- Some armors classes were logically changed. Gannon family Tesla armor is now heavy instead of medium (it's a power armor, goddammit), Sierra Madre armor is medium (instead of light), etc
- Around 40 armors/headgears were rebalanced to give more logical bonuses. For example, Stealth Suit MK II is now light armor and so has lower DT and Assassin Suit has slightly lower DT but better bonuses, Atomic tri-radii-oscillator (which is basically ethereal) doesn't give same DT as Ranger Helmet, Lonesome Road dusters stats were increased to represent armor from hardest endgame DLC properly, etc
- Food doesn't heal
- Respective loading screens texts were updated to represent the changes properly

- Enemies will notice/attack you from bigger distance when you start shooting (but not act like they have sonars in their pocket)
- Enemies will flee on bigger distances and search for cover more actively (but not running 5km away)
- Enemies will dodge bullets much less often
- Enemies will be less "snipers"
- Enemies will search you in bigger radius
- Enemies will "rethink" their will to return to fight faster
- Enemies will turn in your direction faster
- Enemies will loot bodies and switch weapons more often
- Weapons (for both you and NPCs) will jam more frequently on both reloading and shooting, depending on condition
- Melee enemies will be more agressive and perform power attacks more often
- Knockdown from enemies to you will be more dangerous (but not that hard, just a little stronger than in vanilla)
- Creatures reach was made a bit more logical
- Melee weapons reach is fixed via one lighweight script, ensuring compatibility with all weapon mods
- Grenades bounce time was made more realistic
- Burning damage increased
- Amount of enemies that can be present in combat at the same time was increased
- Combat styles for each enemy will be more logical. Melee enemies will less likely to free (as melee is their biggest advantage), snipers will hide more often, super mutants will be more savage, etc
- Weapon condition affects it's attack speed 50% higher (50% higher not in absolute value, don't worry, but 50% higher compared to the original (vanilla) penalty - degraded weapons will attack slower than it was in vanilla), so together with more realistic jamming chances, keeping your weapon repaired is more important now

- Agility now actually affects your movement speed (you're moving faster if Agility > 5 an slower if Agility < 5)
- Perception affects your accuracy with [all] weapons in and outside V.A.T.S. (penalties and bonuses, same as with Agility). Effect is smaller than similar weapon skills effect - but still logical and pleasant
- Strength affects throwing velocity and range - giving bonuses at Strength above 5 and penalties at Strength below 5
- Some new misc recipes (for example, making flamer fuel from different types of alcohol) and new special food recipes you can open via perks and high survival skills levels
- New legendary and unique creatures to meet and fight - and sometimes even get perks for slaying them!
- Dynamic and immersive conditions affecting the prices besides barter formula. Are you in Strip? Prices are higher. Having [extremely] low or high Charisma will result in higher/lower prices too, independently on your Barter skill (cmon, super sexy lad or gal will always have effect from charming smile). Extremely high/low Luck will also affect this. Approaching a merchant with a gun pointed on him? What you would expect, a discount? There are many other conditions which all stack with each other, meaning depending on situation you can have higher or lower prices. This, in total, gives a more "alive" feeling of economy, as it's gets effected more not only by your attributes, but by other logical conditions too. At the same time, this feature is not affecting performance at all even with heavy-modded setup.
- Karma received new gameplay features, and it now directly affects your character in form of special perks which you receive automatically. Covers Neutral, Good and Bad karma, as well as all levels of it
- With a [single] special perk (S.K.I.L.L.F.U.L.) taken, [each] of skills will be giving you increasing, small yet plesant bonuses, depending on skill level. Slightly more damage with guns depending on Guns skill, lesser Action Point cost depending on Science skill, more experience gained depending on Survival skill, faster sneaking depending on Sneak skill and so on. This is somewhat inspiread by bonuses you receive at 25-50-75-100 skill level in TES: Oblivion. Each separate bonus from certain skill may look not that much worthy of spending a perk point - but remember that you will be receiving bonuses from [all] skills, passively, when achieving certain level of mastery. Interesting huh?
- Intelligence now slightly affects XP gained - 2% more XP per Int point > 5 and 3% less XP per Int point < 5, resulting in max 10% more XP at 10 Int and 12% less XP at 1 Int
- Barter now slightly affects repair cost - for instance, at 20 Barter you'll get 4% repair cost dicount, at 45 Barter - 9% discount, and at 100 Barter you'll get a maximum 20% discount
- Respective loading screens texts were updated to represent the changes properly

- Recharger Pistol, Rifle and Alien Blaster now benefit from Laser Commander perk [new in 3.5]
- Travel Light, Light Touch and Tunnel Runner perks now work properly with ALL armors (condition binded to armor type, not armor name) - which ensures automatic armor mods compatibility.
- Demolition Expert now has 2 ranks instead of 3, making it more balanced compared to other damage related perks
- Better Criticals doesn't work on sneak attacks. It wasn't directly a bug, but likely a leftover - sneak attack damage is already x2 for ranged and x5 for melee weapons, and it has own damage related perks.
- Intense Training was bloody OP. You was able to take it unlimited amount of times for any attribute. Now you can take it only once per attribute
- Explorer perk was plainly useless to anyone experienced with the game. Now it adds a small 5% movement speed bonus in addition to vanilla effect
- Nerg Rage was useless. 20% health condition is too low, and absolutely useless in modded game when your combat is harder and faster. Health condition is now 35%, DT bonus was changed to DR bonus to make it useful at late game too, and STR bonus was changed to damage and AP regen bonus actually useful in combat
- Terrifying Presense now also provides a little discount from merchants. They won't argue, right?
- Night Person was useless. Slight bonus to threat detection and possible dialogues influence with miserable chance (and only if your Int/Per are not high enough already). SPECIAL bonuses were removed, and with perk taken you now moving 10% faster, gaing 5% more XP and chems last 15% longer when the sun is down. Additionally, new night-dependant perks were added - and they require Night Person to be taken
- Solar Powered boost of Strength (which often caused nothing but headache due to perk effect conditions) was changed to something more useful. Health regen bonus was not changed
- Jury Rigging is one of the best perks in the game. Hardcore overhauls usually disable it completely to maintain game economy balance - but I don't see this as a correct solution. It won't break economy with SGO aconomy tweaks and recommended mods usage, but it's still incredibly high-tier perk, and that's why its requirements were expanded - it now requries 100 Repair and two new Repair-based perks, Weaponsmith and Armorsmith.
- All 4 sex-related perks (Lady Killer, Comfirmed Bachelor, Black Widow and Cherchez La Femme) damage bonus is lowered from 10% to 5%. Their roleplay bonuses were already fun, and 10% free damage was a bit too much
- Chem Resistant effect is now trice less addiction chance instead of twice lesser one. General availability of Doctors and Fixers was making 50% addiction resistance bonus only not much a worthy investment
- Three "ultimate" game perks (Ain't Like That Now, Just Lucky I'm Alive and Thought You Died) were rebalanced. First of all, level requirement is lowered from lvl 50 to 40. What sense of taking top-tier perks when you can't even level up anymore? This also fits the slower leveling better. Secondly, one of the effects, namely the "critical hits immunity" bonus that was literally the same in all 3 perks, was removed. Instead, each perk received own distinct bonus - and this bonus is directly affected by your karma [after] you've taken the perk. I.e. two other bonuses will take effect no matter what, same as in vanilla game. But third one will take effect only if you'll keep respective bad/neutral/good karma (also, effect will be stronger the higher/lower karma is for good/bad karma)
- Freakin' useless Quick Draw perk was removed. Instead, a new perk was introduced (listed in next section)
- Cowboy perk now requires 25 Melee instead of 45 and gives 20% dmg bonus instead of 25
- Arcade's Better Healing perk was slightly nerfed
- Math Wrath and Beautiful Beatdown (unarmed challenge perks) effects were improved from 10% to 15%
- Some challenge perks bonuses were slightly nerfed
- Elijah's Last Words and Elijah's Ramblings nerfed - 25% attack speed bonus to Veronica instead of 50% and 25% critical damage bonus to player instead of 50% respectively
- In Shining Armor now actually works
- And Stay Back knockdown chance per pellet reduced from 10% to 5%
- Eye For Eye per limb damage bonus increased from 10% to 15%
- Old Wold Blues perks (Brainless, Heartless, Spinless, Big Brained, Cardiac Arrest, Reinforced Spine) were rebalanced to be less overpowered as for perks you basically receive for free, yet still be very useful
- Logan's Loophole received a lilttle healing items effect bonus to give better sense choosing it over improved Chem Resistant perk
- Claustrophobia +/- S.P.E.C.I.A.L. effects were changed on bonus/penalty to running speed, AP regen and weapon accuracy. If you're about to panic in this tight cell, you definitely will think and aim less effective
- Super Slam knockdown chance was reduced
- Lifegiver, which had really puny effect, now gives gradually increasing HP bonus depending on player level - up to 80 HP at level 50 instead of static 30 HP bonus which was becoming a joke in the late game
- Hit the Deck was not quite useful and now also provides 50% protection from all self-inflicted damage on top
- Concentrated Fire perk now allows to take one more, ultimate VATS-related perk
- Sex-based perks (Lady Killer, Comfirmed Bachelor, Black Widow and Cherchez La Femme) damage bonus is double if you have respective sex-based SGO trait (Enclosing Magnetism for Black Widow/Lady Killer and Repulsive Magnetism for Comfirmed Bachelor/Cherchez La Femme)
- Plenty of other perks were slightly balanced/improved in terms of requirements for SGO philosophy, or just to fix irrational things. For example, Slayer which affected both unarmed and melee, could be opened only via Unarmed skill - now with Unarmed or Melee, same for many other melee perks, Center of Mass etc). Some high-level perks lvl requirement was made a bit lower to fit slower leveling etc
- Respective loading screens texts were updated to represent the changes properly

- Acrobat: you jump twice as higher and can fall safely from higher spots, but you can carry less stuff and do less melee/unarmed damage
- Blind Determination: gain permanent boost to Damage Threshold, bonus limbs health, poison, fire and radiation resistances. In return, you gain severely less healing from all sources, 2 less Skill Points per level and traders have higher prices
- Gifted: classic FO trait is back! Get +1 to all S.P.E.C.I.A.L. but also receive all Skills penalty and receive less Skill Points per level
- Cautious Gunner: your weapon range is higher, but accuracy is lower
- Echoing Wasteland: people and creatures are not visible on compass, but you gain +1 Perception and +1 Agility
- Double Edged Barrel: enemies are much less likely to critically hit you, but your critical chance is always zero
- Dum-Dum: gain bonus to all weapon skills, but you get -1 Skill Point per levelup
- Weekend Lover: you move, recover health and Action Points faster, as well as have +1 Strength and Charisma at Friday, Saturday and Sunday, but suffer same as penalties during the rest of the week
- Fast And Furious: attack and move faster, but do less damage and your action point regeneration speed is slower
- Silent Harvester: more damage and faster reload speed with silenced guns/energy weapons (or those having silencer/suppressor mod installed). Less damage with all other weapons. Compatible with WMX
- Energy Brick: Action Points don't regenerate in combat. AP cost is 2.5 times lower and killing an enemy in V.A.T.S. restores 25 AP
- Whizzbang Trickster: all grenade rifles/launchers and rocket/nuke launchers now have critical damage modifier and attack faster. Regular damage, equip and reloading speed with these weapons are lower
- Natty Collector: weapons and armors degrade slower, but in return ranged weapons reload slower, melee weapons attack slower and you move slightly slower in any armor
- Inhibited Devastator: all throwing weapons, like grenades or spears, fly much slower, but all grenades and mines deal more damage
- Live Short, Perk Hard!: gain a perk each level instead of once per two levels, but get a severe Skill Points received penalty
- Nictophobia: when your Pip-Boy lights are on, you are more confident, dealing more damage and having Perception bonus - while dealing less damage and suffering Perception penalty when lights are off
- Hit Or Die: glass cannon trait - deal severely more damage, but your limbs are extremely fragile and your Damage Threshold is permanently and greatly reduced
- Shy Schizophrenic: lower Speech and Barter skills. Agility penalty while [not] under effect of a Stealth Boy. While [under effect] of a Stealth Boy, you receive noticeable combat and utility bonuses
- Masochist: have increased combat stats and luck below 75% health and lose the same when your health is above 75%
- Tenderling: trait with same effects yet HP condition vice versa to Masochist
- Crucifixion Survivor: gain slight DT bonus and your limbs are harder to cripple, but you move slower and healing items are less effective due to infections backwash
- Misanthrope: when you have companions in party, all S.P.E.C.I.A.L. are decreased by 1 and you move slower. No instant bonuses, but allows to get Lone Wolf perk later
- Pacifist: get greatly better prices, bonus to Speech, Barter, Medicine and Science and bonus Action Points. In return, you receive more damage in combat, do less damage, equip weapons slower and your limbs are more easily crippled
- Shelling Shipping: explosives flies further and makes more damage, but has twice smaller explosion radius
- Veteran Brawler: gain +2 Damage Threshold, +3 bonus damage and bonus to criticals strength with melee and unarmed weapons. In return, your guns/energy weapons deal less damage, are greatly less accurate and require much more AP to use, and you move slower
- Repulsive Magnetism: do more damage to enemies of same sex and restore AP for killing them. In return, they do more damage to you as well and have a higher chance to critically hit you
- Enclosing Magnetism: do more damage to enemies of opposite sex and restore AP for killing them. In return, they do more damage to you as well and have a higher chance to critically hit you
- Marathoner: running speed out of combat is faster, but slower in combat
- Tech Purist: gain a bonus to Perception and Survival, but V.A.T.S. is not usable. Disables the VATS-related perks, asides from those related to AP only (like Action Boy/Girl perk, to ensure trait won't affect your usage of sprint mods) and those which give bonuses not only in V.A.T.S.
- Discovery Thirst: a partial "alternative XP system", roleplaying trait - all experience gained from killing and quests is halved, but experience gained from discovering new locations, hacking terminals and picking locks is tripled, which proves even more useful in a modded game as you will definitely have much more of those things in your game
- Daring Weakling: [attention] - this is the only trait in the mod that's made mostly for challenge - take it as something you want to take for "New Game+" effect. When you're playing in Hardcore mode, your damage, speed, critical chance, AP regen and Skill Points gained are reduced, while damage taken, limbs damage and weapon degradation are increased. Penalties are moderate - not tiny yet not severe, but will make wakthrough even harder. No benefits. Absolutely don't take if it's your first run with SGO. Usually, you'd never want to take it at all, as SGO already makes game much more challenging. But ofc, it's up to you :P

Due to much bigger amount of traits (together with vanilla traits, there are 44 in total now with more to come), maximum traits amount to pick at character creation was increased from 2 to 3. This is still balanced, as new traits themselves are all "double-edged" (as traits should be, after all) too.

Besides new Traits, SGO adds around 130 new perks (meaning it practically more than doubles the amount of perks in the game, with more to come in future updates), ~100 from which you can take upon advancing a level, and ~30 perks you can receive as "trophies" (killing factions bosses & legendary creatures, karma bonuses, new challenges etc) - aiming on expanding depth of character builds, roleplay feeling and improving both early and late game. There are also plenty of unique situational or specialization perks. Ever wanted to make a walkthrough using mines only? Shi samurai? Unarmored berserker? Stealth Boy addict? Misanthrope and lone wolf? Expert in power armor? Acrobat? Robotic genius? Now it's possible - not only from roleplay perspective, but to build a fully competitive character build which was not possible in vanilla game. Be ready though - the more powerful the perk is, the higher (and often more) requirements it will have. In addition, SGO also adds new special perks to many bosses and unique enemies, making fighting them more challenging. This list has almost all of them (amount of new perks per level, not counting the hidden ones, is looking something like this atm) - besides trophy/achievement perks and few special perks which I want you to discover yourself :)

Weapon and armor specialization perks:
- Barbarian: bonus attack speed and knockdown chance (stacks with Super Slam) with [two-handed] melee weapons
- Duelist: bonus critical hit chance and damage with [one-handed] bladed or blunt melee weapons
- Smasher: bonus damage and ignore part of enemy DT (stacks with Piercing Strike) with [unarmed] weapons or bare-handed

- Savage Pitcher: you get +bonus to explosion radius and damage with all hand-thrown grenades and they fly farther and faster. Actions point cost for their usage is also lower

- Unstable Spring: your [mines] can now critically explode, dealing additional damage and also receive a flat bonus chance to critically explode
- Steel Planter: gain DT bonus when placing [mines]
- Kinetic Puncher: you could be a best batter in the wastes. Your smashes are not only strong, but precise, and sometimes enemy may think it's all a chem trip, but you actually can deflect some of explosive projectiles or partially protect yourself from an energy blast with a faithful steel friend on your arm
- Lead Cutter: you're swinging melee weapons, be it a sword, pipe or bowie knife, not only with lighting speed, but also with falcon precision. If it wouldn't be hard to believe yourself, you'd say that you can sometimes deflect bullets with your unnatural swordsmanship
- Myopic Jaeger : increased accuracy in and out of V.A.T.S. and decreased AP cost with scoped (or those having scope mods installed) weapons. Compatible with WMX
- Light Armor Expert: perk which gives bonuse depending on player level (bonuses from past levels accumulates) - bonus attack speed, penalty to enemies critical chance (stacks with Light Touch), your criticals strength and ignore part of enemy armor (stacks with Piercing Strike) when wearing [light] armor
- Serious Armor Expert: similar mechanics - limbs health, poison/radiation/fire resistances, decrease of movement penalty, DR bonus when wearing [medium or heavy] armor
- Tesla Armorer: when equipped, power armor consumes 3 energy cells per minute to additionally improve your abilities and protection
- Nevada Berserker: 3 ranks for unarmored (or barely armored) fellas - movement and attack speed bonuses at 1st rank, lower AP cost, damage and additional movement speed bonus at 2nd rank, native DR bonus, faster AP regen and additional movement speed bonus at 3rd rank when your [total damage threshold] is not higher than 7
- Piercing Storm: automatic guns (like SMGS and machine guns) receive bonus to crit chance & crit damage, and ignore 5 DT of enemy armor
- Samurai: you gain 15% bonus damage and 3% critical chance when using a katana. Its special attack action point cost is also 20% less
- Private Spaceruptor: when using shotguns and shooting enemies chock-a-block, your critical hit chance is greatly higher and critical hits are stronger
- Whisper-Trigger: all improved holdout weapons (asides from explosives) have their noise decreased by one level
- Sekhmet Fury: all fiery weapons receive additional combat bonuses (different bonuses for ranged, melee and explosives weapons)
- Big Boomer: all types of heavy weapons (be it a gatling laser or grenade launcher) have their spread reduced and damage increased

Special/situational perks:
- Lone Wolf: receive various powerful bonuses depending on level when you have [no companions] in party. Requires Misanthrope trait
- Timing Is Everything: tactical perk and ranged analogue of Unstoppable Force - your shots with guns or energy weapons are [guaranteed] criticals which also do 25% more critical damage - when landed on enemy who is [reloading] or [dodging]. Ofc, best usable in V.A.T.S. due to slowed time (works with Bullet Time too) - but applies all the same in realtime

The next 3 perks are working greatly together (making syngery better and better), and being an alternative to mods which allow you to build your own robotic armies - simple yet effective, balanced and not affecting performance:
- My Friend Robotoro : a perk for science maniacs with three ranks. Every time you enter combat, a robot automatically assembles itself to assist you. It doesn't count towards companions limit and disassembles itself after battle. Next ranks of this perk improves the robot greatly (with last rank opening brand new robot). Assembling costs energy cells
- Supercharger: you can supply and extra energy cell to your robots and initiate a supercharged stage. Supercharged robots move much faster, have higher critical chance, damage resistance, and able to patch minor damage in the midst of battle. Requires My Friend Robotoro perk
- Science Proves Twice: you're able to assemble two robots instead of one in a fight. Requires My Friend Robotoro perk
*Robotic noises* - let's keep goin':

- Quod Non Te Occidit: upon taking this perk, you take extremely potent lingering damage you must survive for about a minute. If you do, your body will gain bonus to poison resistance, healing and AP regen, as well as small DR bonus
- Adrenaline Surge: faster movement, attacking and +1 STR when health is below 40%
- Acting On The Edge : greatly increased AP regen and decreased AP cost when health is below 35%
- Lucky Rise : depending on your luck, randomly receive stacking permanent bonuses to your stats each time you advance a level

- Restless Hopper : receive defencive and offencive bonuses when jumping or falling. Requires Acrobat trait
- Lightning Delivery: you get 2% to your movement speed for each 20 Carry Weight above 150, up to 10% bonus. But if you'll manage to raise your Carry Weight to 300 or higher, this bonus will become 15%. Requirements: ???
- Mule Of The Mojave : be able to move with only small penalty to speed while your overweight is not more than 50% of your cary weight capacity
- Backstabber: you deal a lot of additional damage when attacking enemies from behind. This applies to both melee and ranged weapons, but not explosives or sneak attacks. Bonus damage is much bigger for melee/unarmed weapons than for ranged weapons
- Famishing And Angry : deal up to 25% more damage, be able to perform more V.A.T.S. attacks with up to 40% lower AP cost and run up to 20% faster - depending on hunger, thirst or fatigue level
- Rad Lad: in combat, you suffer consant radiation damage, but receive reflexes and metabolism bonuses in return. Plays greatly with Atomic! perk

Obdisian made a great job with achievements and SGO is carrying this torch with a fresh approach. While vanilla game has enough of so called "challenges" - you need to make some action certain amount of times (like consume addictive chems, kill X creatures of same type etc) to receive reward - XP and sometimes perks, there's always good to have more of them, and this what's SGO does, adding 15 new challenges for you to uncover (from casual to ones really hard to start and complete). This said, killing of [specific] bosses often looks omitted in terms of gamemplay rewards. SGO adds (currently) around 30 new perks (few more were added in the latest update) which you will receive for slaying the toughest sons/daughters of the gun or most vicious monsters across the Mojave or achieving some others things. Killed dat Legendary Deathclaw? Reached the maximum positive or negative karma level? Don't forget to check out your Pip-Boy!
Additionally, killing noticeable persons (like factions leaders or top officers) will bring consequences, which will be added together with the "trophy" perks you receive for the kills. Doing Powder Gangers headhunting? Now you can get a bounty for their leaders heads from NCR. Or, if you killed NCR second man, isn't it quite expectable for NCR soldiers to be juuuuuust a bit mad on you about that, right?

Generally, this means buffs or rarely nerfs to stats and attributes (no more powder gangers around NCRCF having 10 HP), new abilities - to make fights with bosses/officers/unique creatures more challenging and rewarding. In total, over 950 NPCs and over 550 creatures (both named and generic) were rebelanced/gained new unique abilities (officers/bosses/legendary and named creatures). For over 30 bosses/legendary creatures from this list, on top of rebalance, SGO adds scripted combat events based on lore and creture type/faction. Bosses can now apply debuffs to you, become enraged (temporary increasing speed/damage etc), call for help of "security", and do other things (I don't want to make too many spoilers) - sometimes multiple effects/actions combined. These new elements will make fights with bosses and unique enemies actually unique and unpredictable, forcing you to think tactically each time you'll be fighting with a next boss. Future updates will feature more of those. Some not yet fixed vanilla bugs with NPCs were fixed as well. Oh, and did I mention this covers all DLCs and adds new visuals to fights as well?

- SGO installer now provides an option to install patches for: Interior Lighting Overhaul, NV Interiors, The Living Desert, Adam Reborn, Water Overhaul, Prodlimen Creature Ingegration Pack, North Vegas Encounters, The Collector, Race To The Bottom, Saxxons Quest Collection, Mikeburnfire's NPCs and Quests, New Vegas Stories, Family Matters and The Courier Shot First. The (3.5 update) brought many new patches, as well as TLD patch update to match the latest TLD version. More to be added in future updates.

- Additionally (added in version 3.5), this SGO update now features extra compatibility with many great weapon mods, supporting around 100 weapons in total. What's that and why it's needed? In many cases, if the modded weapon is added to proper vanilla form lists, it will be affected by new perks automatically - but when a perk introduces new, SGO's own form list (some perks do), patching is needed, which this script does. Patch is also adding vanilla perks support to some weapons that were missing it (let's say, a mod adds a new revolver, but author didn't add it to proper form lists, so it won't be affected by the Cowboy per - and with this patch, it will be).
Currently supported weapon mods:

- Minor rebalance of some perks
- Some typo corrections

Are you really sure you want to know now, and not find out yourself?

YUP - fully compatible and a must have. Never play NV without YUP - it fixes such a huge amount of game bugs and leftovers that's simply a titanic work, and essential mod for any NV setup. Once again. Never play without YUP :)
Project Nevada - load SGO after PN Rebalance plugin to take over PN's hardcoded changes. It's changeable scripted parameters (like crippled legs speed, experience gained and all other parameters adjustable in MCM) will take over my mod effect. To ensure 100% compatibility make the next tweaks in MCM - disable Throwing Range setting in Character section of Rebalance module, as shown here, to make sure SGO values are taking over. Also setup the next values in PN's MCM settings (so they match SGO settings): player endurance HP mult - 10, player lvl HP mult - 3, NPC Endurance HP mult - 7, NPC lvl HP mult - 5, TAG bonus base - 0, TAG mult - 2, skill weapon damage influence - 25%, limb damage transfer - 100%, radiation gained - 250%, food healing - no, hunger inc - 350, thirst inc - 500, sleep inc - 250, survival-based rates - yes, maximum weapon damage penalty - 30%. Also make sure that PN's experience gain settings are not changed (set to 100%) as SGO already covers slower leveling.
JSawyer Ultimate - load SGO after JSU, but better (and strongly recommended) use one or another - two big overhauls used together doesn't always mean better, in this case.
Vicious Wastes - Difficulty Rebalance - load SGO after VW, but better (and strongly recommended for the same reason as above) use one or another, as without manual edits in xEdit, there will be some major conflicts.
More Perks (and any other mod that adds new perks) - [technically] you can use SGO together with such mods, but due to immense amount of perks in both SGO and other perk-adding mods, there can be just too many perks in your game (it's not a good thing) and some of them may be similar in their effects, which will be overwhelming and confusing. SGO already adds around 160 new perks, carefully caring about each skill and playstyle, it's more lightweight and bug-free (and if some bug is found, I'm always fixing it asap - read, supporting the mod actively) - so better to not use it together with mods which add a lot of perks. Small perk mods which adds a couple/few standalone perks should be fine generally - just look for the perks descritpion - maybe SGO already covers similar abilities.
Any perk and karma mods in general - similar to what is mentioned above, SGO's perk and karma changes/additions were made to be a better polished, balanced and bug-free alternative to existing mods of such type. If you're following my modding guide, you can skip perks and karma sections completely.
Cover Based Stealth Mechanics - fully compatible with its Stealth plugin while Stealth Boy plugin has two options for usage with SGO. For compatibility with it (i.e. 100% compatibility with the whole mod), simply use "SGO - CBSM version" [IF] you want to have Bashar's Stealth Boy mechanics (highly recommended), [or] disable its "Bash_Stealthboy" plugin [IF] you want to go fully with my mod changes (mine are closer to vanilla mechanics, but seriosuly, Bashar's changes are just great and I still strongly recommend you to use both his plugins and SGO version for it, to only get my perk bonuses which will work on top of Cover Based Stealth. Compatibility version of SGO doesn't containt any of CBSM scripts so it doesn't technically require it - just the special perk in SGO was adjusted to better fit CBSM).
NPCs Can Miss - fully compatible and very much recommended. Shares only 1 same record. Load NPCs Can Miss after SGO. Recommended version of NPCs Can Miss - "High Accuracy".
NPC Dynamic Combat Styles - compatible and recommended. Simply load this mod plugin after SGO plugin.
After War Nevada - if you want for SGO changes to take over AWN ones, simpyl load SGO after. But take into account that AWN is a complete gameplay overhaul and it's settings were made for reasons - so using SGO together with it is not recommended in first turn.
True Wasteland Economy - Technically compatible and will not cause any issues to your game - but, if using SGO and TWE together, economics may become ridiculously hard often - so my advice here is to use one or another [or] using TWE with everything but Misc module disabled (meaning you will disable even the core economy part of the mod, yes).
Interior Lighting Overhaul - patch available.
The Living Desert - patch available.
All "cosmetic" character overhauls (FCO/NV Redesigned/Dragbody NPC overhauls) - compatible via Bashed/Merged patches plus a bit of your time. Place SGO [after] character overhauls in load order, then build Bashed and Merged patches. Then, to ensure 100% compatibility, load SGO, character overhauls, Bashed & Merged patches in FNVEdit and go through each character and drag SGO's stats/abillities records to Bashed/Merged patch records for each affected NPC. Note: It may sound scary, but it's absolutely easy to do and simply will require a bit of your time to drag all needed records. You can, ofc, just delete NPC records from my mod (which will result in vanilla combat abilities of those NPCs) or don't use any NPC visual overhauls - but why not using both if you can? ;) Note: this procedure is very important - without it, if you will just load visual overhauls after SGO, NPCs won't have any new abilities and rebalance from SGO. Otherwise - they won't have improved look. If this will still be confusing for you - don't hesitate to ask for a help at our Discord community server :3
Fallout - New California - not compatible atm, but compatibility version will be made in future, for sure.
TTW - incompatible. No plans for compatibility version atm.
Melee Reach Fixed -  included in SGO with Naugrim's generous permission - make sure to endorse his mod too.
Quest/New land mods with "populated" encounters (AWOP, Someguy series) - compatible, but may lead to much harder combat due to more enemies attacking you. Be prepared :)
Combat Enhancer - superseded mod. You don't need it when using NC. Great mod, but often turned NPCs into mediums with sonars, also "cover-based" fight was impractical and in many cases just made enemies run away for no reasons
MCV - Modified Combat Values - mostly superseded mod. You don't need it when using NC. Great mod as well, but had some other unreasonable NPC behaviour values which often leaded to weird combat.
No Neos - superseded mod. You don't need it when using NC. This mod removed NPC dodge entirely - Nevada Combat implements this in more balanced way - NPCs will still dodge, but just much less often, which will still keep combat interesting from this perspective.
Enemy AI - Tactics - NPC Healing - mostly superseded mod. This mod main plugin itself (AI/combat changes) is not needed, as SGO has own changes of same type. NPC healing plugin is standalone and you can use it together with SGO.
Super Mutant Overhaulord - integrated and adjusted mod. This amazing Mig's creation was incorporated into SGO with his generous permission - and tweaked a bit for better fitting SGO philosophy. Please, take a moment to endorse his mod too :3
Nevada Combat - integrated mod. My own little mod, as a predcessor to SGO. You don't need it if you are using SGO. Yet, NC will be still available for download in case SGO is too much for ya :)

WMX
Essential mod which turns weapon modding in New Vegas into something it should always been from the start.
Fallout 4 Power Armor Features
Simply one of the most revolutionary mods on FNV modding stage and a must-have if you're planning to use power armor.
NPCs Sprint In Combat
Essential mod to make melee enemies more challenging opponents.
More Realistic Aiming
Does how it's called. Also grab a fix for it.
Harvestable Cave Fungus
Simple little mod which also balances funguses price to prevent economics breaking. I didn't include funguses price tweak to SGO simply because this mod already exists and there's no reason to no take it :)
Immersive Recoil 2.0
Imo, one of the most essential mods for realistic gunplay. The best recoil mod ever + highly configurable.
JIP Realistic Weapon Overheating
If you want even more relistic gunplay mechanics, get this one too.
Economy Overhaul
For (in this one humble opinion) near perfect balance to game economy. SGO economy tweaks and addition were made with this mod in mind.
Mojave Wildlife
More encounters for more challenge. Vanilla version is recommended.
Mojave Raiders
Overhaul of New Vegas's raider factions, balancing their loot and adding more of them to fight
NAWEMO - NPCs use Ammo Variants and Weapon Mods
NPCs will now be able to use weapon mods, making combat more challenging. Essential one as well.
More Conditions to Fast Travel
Must-have mod for challenging realistic walkthrough - in vanilla, you was able to fast travel anytime you had almost any issue (like injury or addiction) - this mod adds many new conditions for fast travel, so if you're injured, suffering from withdrawal, radiation etc - you can't just magically escape to your warm bend or doctor
Unfound Loot
To give Mojave actual scarcity it should always have. Greatly helps with economy balance as well. "Balanced" or "Hardcore" options are recommended in its MCM.
First Aid NVSE - Heal and Use Items on NPCs
For enhanced roleplay (heal any NPC you like) and improved combat (use chems on your companions to buff'em'up)
Perks Day Tripper and Chemist Survivalist Style Fix
Simple yet essential mod fixing major issue you most likely wasn't even aware about
Pickpocket Overhaul
Overhauls the pickpocket calculations to take target perception and item weight into account, along with uncapping the success chance and nerfing the impact of item value
Poisonous Poisons
A great and complete poisoning overhaul for New Vegas
Burrowing Creatures
Adds the Fallout 4 burrowing functionality, Cazador nest, and a few new creatures. Complete with an MCM to toggle parts of the mod you do and don't want
Whiskey Rose Perk Fix
One more small fix for a big drinks-related oversight.

Those are just a few recommendations - if you're curious about how to build your mod list in general, peek at my NV modding guide.

- Yukichigai for YUP fixes to scripts of Vulpes, Lucius, Elijah and Joshua Graham, which were forwarded to SGO and merged with scripted events made for these NPCs. Third time: never play without YUP - and make sure to endorse this titanic work
- Jazzisparis for JIP LN plugin which is a sacred library of NV modding and essential extender of NVSE functions
- Naugrim for allowing me to use his melee weapons reach fix script and his huge, inspiring DUST overhaul
- Miguick for his permission to incorporate Super Mutant Overhaulord mod into SGO and couple of his other mods/fixes which inspired me on other changes in my overhaul, and for his insane contribution to New Vegas and Oblivion modding stages in general
- Cirosan for his amazing overhaul and his passion which greatly inspired me to work on SGO
- Grasscid for his badass Karma Perks mod which inspired me to make own karma bonuses for SGO
- Slippyguy for his permission to use some of his scripts from badass Vicious Wastes mod and his endless love to New Vegas
- ItsMeJesusHChrist for his amazing textures for endless New Vegas icons and permission to use some of them so SGO perks can shine like a diamonds in player's interface. Never play without Consistent Pip-Boy Icons mod
- PrinceMinusA for omelette model :)
- EnaiSiaion for being not less than most talented, passionate mod author with the biggest contribution to Bethesda modding stage ever made (and original creator of most popular and iconic Diablo II mod). Your innovative works were inspiring me for years and that was your work that helped me to get some bravery to make my own overhaul. If you (my dear reader) are playing modded Skyrim - never play withou Enai mods
- Bethesda for allowing Obsidian to create Fallout New Vegas and for releasing G.E.C.K. for public usage
- Obsidian for making Fallout New Vegas, the best 3D Fallout game

Version 1.5 at September 2021:

- Minor corrections here and there, for better quality and gameplay comfort

Future updates:

- Support for beautiful "Supreme Weather" mod by xGeorge
