FROST

FROST Survival Simulator is a total conversion mod by naugrim04, one of the few that rival and in some cases exceed Horizon in scope. Sadly, this means that the two mods are completely and utterly incompatible.

FROST is often compared to and contrasted with Horizon, and this page will shed some light on the differences between the two.

In comparison
Despite superficial similarities, FROST and Horizon offer very different experiences.

World
FROST is a total conversion that ditches the game's established setting, characters and quests for a brutal, solitary post-apocalypse more akin to The Road or 28 Days Later than a Fallout game.

Horizon is essentially Fallout 4.5, updating and adding numerous game mechanics but maintaining the original world, story and feel.

Combat
Combat in FROST is difficult and deadly from the very beginning. The slightest mistake leads to a swift death, and even common enemies can kill with just one or two hits. Healing items are rare, but health is restored when you sleep.

Horizon is much more forgiving, especially early on. Standard enemies are fairly easy to kill and don't do enough damage to pose a threat except in numbers, but health does not regenerate naturally. It can only be restored with items or by paying a doctor, which puts a greater emphasis on resource management.

Settlements
FROST abandons settlements as anything other than customizable player bases.

Horizon attempts to integrate settlers and settlements into the gameplay, turning them into a useful resource.
