I'm seeing all sorts of mods on the Nexus that help frame rate and optimize everything, but for someone like me, that's like putting an industrial sized band-aid over a paper cut. I can run the game on Ultra with no problems out in the wastes, but as soon as I'm in the middle of a city, my frame rate tanks (towns are fine, its only the city that gives me problems). So basically, I'm looking for a mod that will only optimize cities and reduce frame rate drop in the city instead of everywhere. I'm not surprised that the game drops frames the way it does given how all their other games handle, and for the most part I don't see it drop below 30fps. But cities destroy any good frame rate I have going. I could go from 45fps to 15fps real quick. Add enemies on top of that, explosions in the distance, etc, and you've got a recipe for disaster. So does anyone know if there are any mods out there or any in development that would fix only the cities? Or anyone that could point me in the right direction? I'd greatly appreciate the help and I would gladly award you with +5 internets. Any ini tweaks that could solve my problem would also be appreciated and awarded +2 internets.

So I just added the pipboy readius to my FO3 game and it worked great. I added a pistol and rifle animation mod and everything still worked great. Then I turned on my xbox controller and when I went to bring up the pipboy, its invisible. If I turn off my controller and bring up the pipboy with my keyboard it works just fine. I'm not sure if its due to one of the mods I installed along with the readius or what the deal is, but I've never seen anything like this in any of the fallout games or skyrim. Has anyone else encountered this? Is there a way to fix it? Granted I can still play the game with a controller just fine, but if I want to use my pipboy I have to use my keyboard. Not game breaking, but certainly inconvenient. The mods I installed along with the readius are: Assault and Sniper Rifle Hold Animations Revised Ver2 Modern Combat Pistol Shooting The Groovatron Those are the only mods I installed after the readius, so they would be the only ones that would most likely interfere with something. Any help is appreciated. EDIT: I found that its the readius itself that's causing the problems. With the mod installed, I force-ably equipped the pipboy. I got it to show up with the controller, but I couldn't get the actual pipboy menu to come up (meaning all the important stuff). So my best guess is there's something in the code that won't allow the popboy to properly show up when using a controller. So does anyone know if this can be fixed in the ini file or something?
