Super chill, but hard.

I'm looking for a custom setting where it's hard weather, looting, but no predators (which sucks since they are my hockey team) and caches. Possible?

Sounds like stalker with  predators off and weather bumped up.a notch.

Try increasing cold over time, weather/wind variability and frequency of blizzards. That will really make the weather hard. Also, don't take the Cold Fusion perk and that will again increase weather challenge.

You can either remove the predators altogether by turning their spawn levels to None, or put on Passive Wildlife.

I usually put my overall resource availability and loose items to medium. Then Low on both empty container chance and modify density.

I've found this enough to satisfy the loot goblin in me but not over the top. This you need to decide for yourself, but at least by going down the middle it won't be too far wrong either way.

These settings still allow caches. Those you can't control directly without a mod. However I believe they only stop appearing in custom when you use Loper loot settings.

Custom has it all!

Yes this is it. It is what I play. lots of loot but you are fighting the weather and not the doggies or yogi.
