Going to play Fallout 3 - reccommened me some mods! :)

What mods do you use for Fallout 3?

Is it like Oblivion which takes 20+ mods to look nice and play well? I'm used to installing a lot of mods.

The below mods are the utilities you need so that the next set of mods will work properly(the mods resided herein are those very big changes type of mod)

FOSE

FOMM

Fook

FWE

Darnified UI

Weaponmodkits

There's a number of Mods that can improve the graphical appeal of Fallout and modify the gameplay in subjectively postitive or negative ways. There are dedicated websites for them but notable ones include:

1) Fellout (postulates that a real nuclear wasteland would look a lot less murky after two centuries, clears the sky and shines a giant sun on the full beauty of Bethesda's world) snipurl.com/iqrwn

2) Overhaul Kit (wealth of new weapons and armour) www.fookunity.com

3) Mart's Mutant Mod (new species and sub-species) snipurl.com/iqs96

4) Fallout Overhaul (merges many Mods and makes the game tougher adding things like fatigue).

Also look out for: Greenworld, High Resolution Megaton and NeilMc Terrain Pack. All of which can be probably found at FalloutNexus.

Hope I helped.

Play it vanilla first :|

Higher Vehicle Health(A mod that gave more health to the destructable nuke cars)
Unofficial Fallout 3 Patch
Amplified Crippled Effects(make's crippled limbs for NPC's and yourself, more damaging to stats)
BetterPacingMod(it's a mod that lowers the XP you get for killing stuff, but left quest completion XP alone)
Better Companions and Caravans(makes companions and Caravans unkillable)
Improved Turret Reprogramming and Hacking 1-4
Selected Containers Respawn
Minute Minder Onscreen Clock(a mod that tells me what time it is every 30 ingame minutes (bit annoying but... still find it useful)
Nova Interaction Revised(just adds a fade to black effect.)
Different TimeScales(a mod or console command that slows down the progress of time in the game (forgot what I set it to, think I set it to 30sec=5min; game default is 1sec=5min.)
Lightweight Food Sanitizer(a mod that changed the weight to .5 pounds... the thing looks like a keychain, afterall.)
RI_Sleep(has several options, I used preset number 2 for all options)
Stealth Kill enabled
Less Useless Karma Gifts(girl at megaton gives better gifts as your karma improves)
NPCs Sleep Tighter(a mod that makes sleeping NPC, stay asleep when walking near them and make them not wake up so easily... (figure it'll make the sandman perk more useable)
Grouse Slaver Radio(a mod that adds a slaver radio, so to collect caps without having to go to their camp)
Mines Explode Faster(picked the proximity one)
Lawbringer Contract Killer Perk Fix
Vanishing Ash Piles and Goo Piles(don't know if it's really necessary, but have it installed anyway)
Stimpak Nerf(a mod that makes cripple effect not cureable via stims (this mod also makes cripple effect curable via RadX randomly and chance based on your medical skill;and RadXhas a chance of becoming addicted to it. This is not real injuries mod, because I didn't like all the other stuff that Real Injuries mod changes,)
Breezes FO3 Males(must be logged in to see)
DIMONIZED TYPE3 female body WIP" mod andType3raidertexturesfull mod with Type V Female Body and Armor Replacer(mainly for the armor mesh and armor patch 1) (must be logged in to see)

don't remember the specific name for the following there are several mods that do this:
A mod that increased the range of the Pip Boy flashlight by 2x. .

Found all the above at Fallout 3 Nexus.

Play the game WITH mods, you'll enjoy it.

INstall some of MC neils texture packs and then TUPAM.

I mean, if you have broken steel, you'd basically play through the storyline and maybe have to drop your character and start a new game, since some good mods may require a new game.

All bethesda games WITH mods>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Lol>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Original.
