To turn Fallout 4 into more of a survival game, crank up the difficulty to 'Survival' mode in the game settings. This amps up the challenge by making food, water, and sleep essential for survival. You'll also face tougher enemies, need to manage illnesses, and can't fast travel. It's like the wasteland said "Welcome, but not really."
For a real challenge, limit your use of quicksaves and stimpacks. Survival mode forces you to think tactically, but self-imposed limits on saving and healing will make every encounter a nail-biter. Who knew pressing F5 could feel like cheating?
Honestly, just play on Survival mode. It's tough enough.
