Excellent video, thanks man! I don't really mod games since it's really tedious work but you made it easy. My favorite mod for F3 is DUI and Fellout

[@atheist101]

While some mods can be tedious, with mod managers it's not so bad any more. It used to be hell moving stuff around making sure its all in the right place and editing ini files. Now most of the work is done by the manager with little more than a couple clicks from you.

[@nightcrawler2884]

Great list! I think these 3 mods that would be great additions to what you're going for: - the New Vegas mod "Consistent Pip boy icons", which remasters all the icons beautifully. You won't go back. - "Crisp Menu & Loading screens", self explanatory - "Pip-Boy 3000 retexture" - you'll be looking at the Pip-Boy a lot and this mod remasters it down to the finest detail. It looks official. I 101% agree with your sentiment that re-textures look very out of place / inconsistent. These mods feel official, however. Try them out. I haven't had any stability problems or crashes either.

[@jeffreynerhood1096]

Good treatise on some solid MODs for Fallout 3. Your reasoning for so few is well thought out and communicated solidly. By and large I agree with your reasoning and, have, for the most part, played with those you spotlight herein. I also have a few of my own, personal favorites that I prefer - one of which might be considered a "cheat" to some degree. I still prefer using Vortex as a mod manager - and FOMM is Vortex's ancestral predecessor - with many of the same foundational elements in found in Vortex. To my knowledge Vortex prohibits manual load order adjustments - but, I digress. Great video. All the best!

[@ShootAirsoftVideos]

you can change load orders with vortex.

[@jeremyrosal6049]

Yeah, I think the other commenter is right. I can't remember the details though, it's been a year or two since I tinkered with modding a game. But I do remember that I felt the method to manually change load order was kind of convoluted and not very apparent to the user, especially a newer user.

yeah ttw have a lot of bug fixes and offers more stable game than vanilla fallout 3 but for someone who dont want to play ttw you can get really good results with modding vanilla fallout 3 and make it stable.

[@VALLAERION]

You do not need to use Fallout Mod manager guys, Its severely outdated, Vortex or Mod organizer 2 will get the job done just the same with a better more up to date mod organizer that isnt limited to just modding fallout. The reason FOMM exists is because Vortex and MO2 didn't exist back then.

[@asmrplushpaws]

Thanks for this. Fallout 3 was temporarily free on Epic Games, so I decided to not miss my opportunity and get it.

Incredible video dude, congratulations! It just worked perfectly.

[@KillerBill1953]

When I first modded FO3, many years ago now, everyone had problems with hardware limitations and Fellout, as I understand it, removed the brown tint which ate up resources. Apart from considerably improving the look of the game it also speeded it up. I remember actually noticing the difference in gameplay, I was actually able to walk and run at reasonable speeds. The other thing is that after two centuries the dust would have been washed out of the atmosphere making the brown tint unrealistic anyway. Thanks for the video.

[@GeteMachine]

I've always felt FO3 would look good with a color mod that still keot that dirty, grimy feel of what the green tint does, but removing the tint so it doesn't feel like a filter. While most mods tend to get rid of it altogether and make the game look a bit too saturated often looking more like Oblivion to me, the light changes in this video look a lot better.

A method that makes it easier to remember the numbers at the end of each string. Well you won't have to remember if you do this... First highlight and copy the entire string ex: fLightLODDefaultStartFade=10240.0 Ok then go to the open ini file... Engage find. In the Find dialogue box paste the entire string you collected in the find box. Ex. fLightLODDefaultStartFade=10240.0 See in the example you have both the string and the input number ex. 10240.0. Highlight and cut only the number after the equal sign. The desired string is all that is left in the find box see example. ex. fLightLODDefaultStartFade= Select find. The search feature will highlight the desired line. Now place your blinking cursor at the equal sign and use your Control V or Paste to paste in the updated number you want to use in the mod.

All these mods + a true iron sight mod will makes this a perfect experience. You could also inject ENB binaries and mess with the night environmental lighting to tone done the weird colour errors with the windows at night; for some reason you can see them even if it's pitch black. Almost like they're glowing. ENB can fix this and it could be literally the only change it makes so you'll likely forget you'll have it installed. Especially when you start another playthrough.

[@_maza_2443]

What you said about stability makes sense for mods that actually add things like scripts, but I'm pretty sure replacing textures with slightly higher resolution textures does nothing to affect the engine.

[@WhiteCollarGames]

Ya a lot of people actually have this misunderstanding but I can understand why. So adding textures does in fact impact engine level operations. Textures have to be loaded into memory (an engine level operation) the more of these texture archives you add to your game the longer your load times will be. It may seem unnoticeable at first but it can quickly stack up. It's not just quantity of archives either, its also quantity and size of the textures in those archives. For beefy machines they can naturally handle more of these archives easier than an average off the shelf pc. Scripts are actually way less impact full on load times than things like textures. Scripts do have the danger of causing save bloat but naturally I avoid those mods that have save bloat problems and don't recommend them to you.

[@nikobellicchief08]

I've been modding Fallout games since Fallout 3 released and I whole heartedly agree in your opinion on the texture mods. Consistency and stability is key in my opinion to enjoying a game. Can't tell you how many times I've downloaded 4k textures and SweetFx mods only to see that the character faces looked dated. In pursuit of trying to make the game look prettier, all I could focus on is what mod I could download to make something look prettier. I recently played an unmodded playthrough of New Vegas and I found myself more focused on the gameplay and story rather than wonder why my M4's textures look better than my gloves!

i watched the first vid and you never explained how to do the mods folder that you talked about at 21:25

[@harrisonmorgan7492]

Exactly, i was wondering that too. But all you have to do is put a folder in the fallout main folder and just call it "mods"

[@marcelmeyer6857]

You make this sound like its a super purist experience and then you recommend to change the whole game with FWE. Cmun bruh.

Great video!

6:55 So the mod basically just deletes the original art style? Wow what a ''perfect list'', might as well play Fallout 4 instead.

modsreloaded doesn't offer a download link to darnUI. Why is this specific mod a pain in the ass to use anyway? The oblivion version first now FO3.

Shoutout to White Collar Games for making a super clear and easy to follow tutorial. Decided to pick up FO3 after not playing it in years and these mods are basically exactly what I'm looking for, not going crazy trying to make every little thing perfect, just a few mods that go a long way to making the play experience that much better. One issue I had while doing this process was that FOMM would crash after every time I would add a new mod in the package manager, but upon reopening FOMM I was still able to activate the mods, and upon starting up a new game everything is working fine. FWE is great! Had my first firefight and I didn't think combat in this game could actually ever be intense, considering in Vanilla all you do is stand in front of enemies and shoot them while they shoot you and you just spam heal, I'm liking this a lot already!

I was wondering which version of "Updated Unofficial Fallout 3 Patch" did you use as well as mods?

[@Sheriff_Ochs]

@@jodiepalmer2404 Hey, unfortunately it has been some time so I no longer remember. I'm sure whatever is the most recently uploaded/updated version of the patch is the one you're gonna want to get.

[@jodiepalmer2404]

@@Sheriff_Ochs UUF3P Mod Manager v2.3.2 is the one with UUF3P-FWE patch. I just thought you had the latest released UUF3P version
