DESERT: A Modlist

DESERT is a specialized and thoroughly tested, remodified, retested set of mods that attempts
to bring you that honest desert experience. Notice that I said honest, not true. I know many
deserts personally, and each was different from the next in all the big and small ways. I'm not
going to tell you what a desert means to you, but I am going to tell you what this Modlist
DESERT will do.

Immersion relating to the desert is the game. Are you a desert creature? Show me.

Be A Smart Desert Creature

First and foremost, do yourself a favor and head to ​Thuggyfied​, which is the most
comprehensive modlist ever devised by man or beast. Where the category from there fits
DESERT items, of course, use the DESERT suggested mod. You won't find most categories
here. What body shape or hairstyle you're interested in is your business. Mine is sand and heat.

Specialized
Having used/am using ALL of these mods in a many characters, I've come to want a specialized
experience that tries to ​immersively​ make you feel like you were walking in a sandy desert or
badlands, and through my own Dusty Dude Abides Immersion mods I have tweaked my
DESERT to a inch of its hidden life. I'm not playing around(!) . . . in a game . . . but for real, ​tho​.
I have 4,500 hours playing and modifying Fallout 4 alone. That doesn't make me bright. It does
mean I know what I want and I fight to make it happen. This modlist is a long effort to get
playthroughs with style and durability.

Lists​ (all in my load order based on experience using them and manager auto-choices)
Some mods in this list may need the full Fallout 4 suite of DLC.
