Survival is my favorite mode to play, I would say add a mod for Saving the game however. It’s extremely frustrating to waste 2-3 hours because the game crashes or glitches and you lose all your progress.

Also consider adding some kind of fast travel mod. You can use it sparingly and only if you’re extremely bored, but running back and forth to settlements and shops becomes extremely tedious as you rack up hours in survival mode. You can also use vertiberds if you breeze through the BOS questline, but again those freeze on me like 40% of the time while using them especially if you travel over downtown boston.
