Mods that increase the difficulty usually make Pre War Money less valuable but that has the unintended consequence of making Dead Money even more lucrative, because you can buy all of it, and more Pre War Money, means more chips, once you get to the Casino. Again, if you're thorough, you can find a lot of stuff to sell to them. The Hologram vendors, of which I think there are 5 or 6. The snowglobe alone gives you 2000, and with the amount of cigarettes and pre war clothes lying around (and keep in mind this is from someone who uses mods to clean the wasteland) I usually get the Chip aficionado achievement about the time I get the first member of the crew. I have no idea how many chips are in the Sierra Madre for sure, but if you're thorough, and I am, you can easily get at least 5000.

Makes me wonder what game have they been playing. I once saw someone saying that "you really should pick Tribal Wisdom (I think that's called, the one that let's you eat bugs) because food is so rare". Or maybe it was valid at some point but the DLC made the advice pointless and they never updated. There are a lot of people out there who think they're experts and they give terrible advice.
