Gameplay Mods[]

Unofficial Fallout 3 Patch[]

Unofficial Fallout 3 Patch is an effort put forth by modder Quarn with help from others to fix a variety of bugs, mostly minor, in the game. It effects the changes on a plugin level, so anything not editable via the GECK or through mesh and texture editing is not possible. However, there are a myriad of bugs it can fix and already does, ranging from floating rocks and trees to minor mesh errors (like the mesh holes on the bottom of the laser rifle or the incorrect physics material on several creature ragdoll skeleton meshes) to AI bug fixes (such as Shrapnel wandering the wastes if Flak is enslaved).

Weapon mod kits[]

Download Weapon Modification Kits - or 'Weapon Mod Kits' - allows you to use a Workbench to modify your favorite (supported) firearms with a range of handy attachments:

Auto-Fire Mechanism (AF): Adds full-auto firing capability to most guns that do not have it otherwise (also increases weapon spread by around 50%). Extended Magazine/Clip (EC): Doubles magazine/clip capacity. Laser Sight (LS): Increases accuracy (reduces weapon spread by around 33%). Scope (SC): Can use scope to sight targets, increases range by 30%. Silencer (SI): Makes weapon silent, decreases damage (by around 10%).

Earlier versions added special weapon mod workbenches to locations, but the latest version allows the use of any workbench. The latest version requires the Fallout Script Extender (FOSE) to work properly. Mod Kits can be purchased or found in random loot. All .44 magnums have their scopes removed, while silenced pistols are converted to normal 10mm pistols with attached silencer kits.

You can also become a Time Lord and Regenerate.

Fellout[]

Download The most widely used environment mod, changes lighting, weather and other environmental effects.

Phalanx Modules[]

Download Changes companion handling to behave more like a real squad.

  • Ability to apply Stimpaks to companions (they return the favor if the player is in trouble). Outside of combat, a single stimpak brings the companion back to full health.
  • Group commands such as standing down (companions remove their headgear and wander around) or retreating.
  • Companions' skills and stats can be viewed on demand.
  • Sleeping at a player-owned bed or campsite will heal companions too.
  • Fawkes is now good at unarmed combat. In fact, he can fight unarmed as well as Marcus did in Fallout 2.
  • Companions no longer have unlimited ammo for their default weapons (except RL-3). To balance it out, companions ask for ammo when needed.
  • Companions do not die. Instead, they become incapacitated (for how long is determined by the player's level); a new perk alerts you when this is imminent.
  • Three new companions.

Inebriation[]

Download or Download #2 or Download German Version Inebriation adds a drunken effect to using alcohol. The effect increases the more you drink. If you use the Fallout Script Extender you will also experience movement confusion as your character stumbles around. It also adds a very strong hallucinogenic effect to cave fungus.

Realistic Repair Rethought[]

Download This very general and useful mod allows a more realistic repair of items from similar ones of the same material type or weapons caliber: A leather belt repairs leather armor and some helmets and a baseball bat can repair the wooden stock of hunting rifles. Wonderglue will repair clothing and leather. Tin cans and scrap metal are now worth picking up because they repair most armor and guns. Primitive forms repair rarer and more expensive items: the 10mm pistol repairs a 10mm sub machine gun but not a 5.56 caliber assault rifle. It also lets you repair a rare and expensive item without having to find another of the same exact type. For example: a common missile launcher will repair the rare fat man nuclear missile launcher. A large part of weapons maintenance is cleanliness, so cleansers will repair most guns and armor. Schematic created items are repaired by the items needed to create them. Using the mod will allow you to stay repaired most of the time by carrying light weight spare parts like scrap metal, tin cans and leather belts instead of having to carry two of heavy items like big guns and armor.

Warning: Using this mod will eliminate the poverty of the early game and allow you to buy expensive luxuries and furnish your house very fast. You can use a strategy called "fix up and flip." For example, find or cheaply buy a badly damaged assault rifle worth 20 caps, repair it with free tin cans and scrap metal to the limit of your repair ability. You can resell it for over 200 caps if your barter ability is good.

Sniper Accuracy[]

Download Increases the Accuracy of Sniper Rifles in V.A.T.S.

Marts Mutant Mod[]

This mod is a port of MMM from Oblivion to Fallout 3. It focuses on adding a huge range of diversity to creatures and NPCs in the Fallout 3 world as well as adding new and unique creatures and NPCs to encounter. The mod is broken down into a core base and a range of optional modules.

The key results the mod achieves are:

  • Every creature and NPC is unique with its own stats, size, confidence, health, damage and even skin (texture)
  • Creatures and NPCs suffer improved wounding effects such as visible bleeding and statistic penalties
  • Creatures and NPCs can loot the corpses of fallen enemies, after which you can find this loot if you kill them
  • Creatures and NPCs have improved behavioral AI based on class -- in any given group some may be aggressive towards you, some may be ambivalent, and others may avoid you outright.
  • Configurable increased spawns allow you tailor how many creatures and NPCs spawn in the game at any given spawn point
  • Improved faction system to better reflect inter-faction relations and ensure the player isn't the center of the universe
  • New creatures and NPCs to add variety to the wasteland -- all hand-crafted with their own stats, abilities, loot, weapons, textures and in some cases scripted AI behavior.

Car Fort City! Gamesave by Daydreamdirty[]

The goal of this Gamesave is to completely recreate Fallout 3 as we know it to something different by adding more NPC's, enemies, buildings, and by adding weapons that were orginally cut from both the original game and the DLC's that were released.

This Gamesave is made to give you a "Hardcore" option to play Fallout 3 by changing these main characteristics of your player

1. 50% Less health

2. Does 50% less damage against enemies

3. Does 3x more critical damage (In memory of the now extinct Sniper Mod)

4. Receives about 50% more damage from Radiation. (Forces you to be careful around Radiation now.)

5. Several perks have been added from the start of the game- including cut perks from other DLC's. (If you don't have the DLC's don't worry as it won't ruin your experience.)

Link to page Car Fort City! Gamesave

This is a Gamesave which starts out with a premade character ready to take the G.O.A.T. Once you get out of vault 101, there will be more player homes, npc's, and weapons that were originally cut are now added into the player locations that were created. (For example, the grenade launcher from Broken Steel was cut, but works fine. It uses Shotgun Shells as ammo but shoots out grenades) Grenade Launcher

Project Beauty[]

This is my attempt to change various female NPCS for the better. I've re-rendered each of them based on my ideals for beauty. Eyes, lips, face, jaw, nose size, chin, etc. This mod doesn't use any makeup mods. It doesn't use any hair mods. It doesn't use any "anime mods" My attempts were to make the characters in the game to have a more natural and realistic appearance This is very different from the way most mods are handled as this mod will change EVERYDAY. Keep an eye on it because what you see today won't look the same tomorrow. Fo3Nexus Download
