Yeah the interiors mod(s) are really cool in concept--who doesn't want more places to explore?--but the creator made them all stick out by packing each interior full of stupid collectibles and knick knacks. Plus I feel like many of them had way too many placed vanilla items...walk into an easily accessible room and walk out with weeks and weeks worth of alcohol and foodstuffs, or tons of rarer scrap parts.

Please help me goons. I have two problems with the game that I wish to fix, and I turn to modding.

1) Hats. I want a specific style hat for one of my characters. I'm going for a 'dark mysterious guy' look, similar to Jonah Hex or the Dark Tower Gunslinger. None of the hats currently fit the bill. I guess what I'm looking for is a sherrif's hat/cowboy hat that doesn't have the brim curled up on the sides, and if possible might actually have it dip down a bit in the front. Browsing for a specific hat on Nexus is next to impossible and all the big hat compilations I've found have turned up nothing.

2) Trenchcoat. Looking for a long, dark trenchcoat for the same character. Once again, looking for a specific style on Nexus has been challenging. I've yet to find quite what I want. Hoping someone here might ahve an idea.

I'm trying to figure out weapons. Guns feel lackluster and boring compared to Energy Weapons but I ALWAYS use energy weapons and I want to try guns. How can I make guns more interesting to use?

Thanks guys, so is New Vegas the superior choice over Fallout 3? I'm about to start setting this poo poo up.

There are people who argue that Fallout 3's environment was more interesting to explore and lent itself more to a mindless romp around the wasteland, dungeon-delving and slaughtering enemies. The actual roleplaying aspects of Fallout 3 were very poor, however, and that was something mods couldn't do very much to address. So you have really great stuff like "Fallout Wanderer's Edition (FWE)" that overhauls the game and makes it more challenging, and "Mart's Mutant Mod" that revamps and expands on the beastiary and makes that more interesting, but you're still going to be stuck with the same dumb characters and quests.

New Vegas is pretty much Fallout 3 Plus, in the sense that everything Fallout 3 had, New Vegas also has, plus it has other improvements to the base game. Primary Needs, weapon modding, traits, (a more fleshed out) crafting, reloading, and cooking systems, and generally stronger roleplaying and questing aspects. Some people find the Mojave to be more boring than Fallout 3's capital wasteland, but it's a difficult argument to make that Fallout 3 had a better story, or more ways to build a character, or more items to find, steal, and make.

Honestly, I feel that New Vegas is a vastly better game than Fallout 3. Part of the replay value for me is the ability to build different characters that can actually behave in different, meaningful ways, and New Vegas really gives you a lot of room in that regard.

For someone that want's to revisit Fallout 3 (already played New Vegas a fuckload of times), what would be some good mods to shake things up, the stuff that changes a LOT, you know?

This seems to be a pretty popular question lately, but I've always felt that a combination of:

Fallout Wanderer's Edition: Highly configurable gameplay overhaul that serves as a good "base" for a modding rampage in the same way that Project Nevada is for New Vegas.
Mart's Mutant Mod: An overhaul of enemies/mutants/wildlife, including a bunch of adjustable optional features.
Weapon Mod Kits (WMK): Gives you the ability to modify FO3 weapons in a similar (albeit less expansive) manner to New Vegas' own weapon modding system.
Better Living Through Chems: Significantly tweaks preexisting chemical items (i.e. Stimpaks, Buffout, Psycho, etc.) and adds a whole bunch of new chems to the game; also gives them various visual effects. So if you pop something like MDMA, things will get "fuzzy" while colors become intense and vibrant; alcohols will increasingly blur your vision as you drink more and more, etc.
DCInteriors Project: A much more ambitious project than we ever got for New Vegas; adds a ton of new interior locations across the map that help make the DC ruins more interesting to explore.
Fellout: Like DCInteriors Project, FO3's Fellout is a lot more extensive than the version for NV. It basically acts like a lighting and weather overhaul.


That's in addition to the FOIP patches and modules that will make all of these mods work together, the "quality of life" modding (like installing DarnUI for fonts/HUD), and graphical stuff like NMC's Textures and the Hi-Res Weapons Pack V3.

That looks good, thank you!

Do these mods help solve the bullet-sponge enemies problem in Vanilla, like super mutant overlords and albino radscorpions?

Hmmm that's a good question. FWE, for example, has a "global damage" multiplier that defaults to 2.0x, meaning that you'll kill (and be killed) twice as quick at the same amount of HP; it's adjustable up to 3.0x. Mart's Mutant Mod has options to influence NPC stat scaling, as well. It's been a while for me, but I think the answer to your question is (at least partially) "yes".

Most people seem to recommend revisiting FO3 through FNV using TTW though. Far more stable and with some work FNV mods will work and cross over into the capital wasteland too.

Thanks for reposting this. I'll try to add it to the OP so it can be referenced in the future.

EDIT:

Recently started getting back into this game for the umpteenth time--poked around the Nexus and saw this mod, which aims to attack the game's economy through a number of scripts. First, it makes different vendors behave differently based on different priorities (doctors are more interested in medical items, gun runners in guns, etc.) and things like their geographic location (large, connected, established stores less willing to haggle; smaller, remote places more desperate to close a transaction, etc.)

Then it also goes after item degradation from a very peculiar angle: It looks at all of the poo poo in your inventory and the things you're doing while it's in your inventory. So drinks in glass bottles might break if you're getting blown up; food might rot or become irradiated if it stays in your bag for too long or you go diving into glowing goo; general items might get deteriorate from getting shot too many times, etc.

Pretty curious to see how this mod plays out because, while it sounds pretty unusual and interesting, it also has the potential to just be a micromanaging headache.

I tried putting both of those on an SSD and saw no noticeable improvement myself(not in loading screens or ingame), so I guess it depends on your bottleneck.

Yeah, I'll also say that I went from New Vegas being on a pretty standard 3.5" 7200 RPM HDD to a Samsung 840 SSD and I haven't noticed a significant jump in load times or general performance (although I don't feel like there was an issue to begin with, either). I think load times might have improved very slightly in Skyrim (significantly modded, as well) but I can't say for certain--I just usually don't have enough time to read whatever "tip" is on the load screen.

E: Thanks Lambeth, you've been a great help.

If you use the "equipment" module of Project Nevada, it will add a bunch of weapons and armor to the game, yeah. CCO and JSawyer are mostly tweaks; JSawyer will redistribute the mini-DLC pack items and armor (what is now known as the "Courier's Stash") into the world, rather than having you spawn with everything from square one. But that doesn't really count as "adding" something new.

This may not be the answer you're looking for (and I don't know if there's a sort of TTW patch for this already, given that it seems to be a pretty common gripe) but you can probably open up the plugin(s) in FNVEdit and change the health values for DC super mutants, as well as the traits that give them their DT.
