your reputation becomes normal after some time, dont worry.

One of the best ways to get caps are slave runs. It was already mentioned but i think it can't hurt to throw in some more details:

• First of all you should create an own char for this purpose, some ideas about a good build can be found here and here (some of the infos here are outdated but it's a good guide to get an overview of the topic).
• In general the char should be able to fight alone against some group of low tier NPCs (like Slaves, Trappers, Moonshiners and so on).
• To enslave some NPC you need to become a slaver. How this works can be found on the wiki.
• Keep in mind, that you don't need max party points. 100-150pp (or even less) are enough to carry some slaves and to sell them.
• Once you have the char, the slaver tattoo and catched some slaves, sell them to Metzger to get caps and (whats more important) to gain reputation with the Slaver's Guild.
• If you have enough reputation (160+) with the Slaver's Guild you can ask Metzger for some "vacancy", which means he will offer you a slaverun job. Now this is what you are looking for! You will see a new location somewhere around Den. Get there, talk to the slavers and start the battle. Only attack the guards, dont touch the slaves there!
• If you aren't sure wether you can stand this or not better get some help or bring in some slaves/mercs for your protection because if you mess it up you will have to sell many slaves to Metzger to get your reputation back
• If its done you can report back to Metzger and earn some caps. The payment depends on the difficulty of the slaverun, which is random (as far as i know) and can range from like 800 to 10.000 caps.
• After this your reputation will sink below 160. No problem! Just sell 2 or 3 random slaves again and you can get another slaverun job after the cooldown (which is about 6 hours in RT).
• You should be careful when entering The Den! Even if there's no TC going on, there often are greedy sneakers, who want to get whats in your possession.

Of course there are more ways to earn caps, like lifting boxes or the gunrunner caravan quest for example. But (imo) with slaveruns you make the most profit in a short time.

Some tips in general to earn caps:

• Farm/craft/trade items like Super Stims, 5mm AP and drugs (Psycho, Buffout, Jet) and sell them here on forums.
• Search blueprints and sell them here on forums.
• A barter char won't really help you to get money, since most merchants don't have much caps but it can't hurt to create one to exchange crap like fruits, low tier weapons etc. for ammunition and drugs
