Okay so I looked into this and there was a mod that was being made by a user csx for Fallout 3, Linked here: http://www.nexusmods.com/fallout3/mods/5516/?

Of course this seems to be one of those mods that are thrown to the dust and forgotten. The last time this mod was updated was 12:22, 4 September 2009 .

That was about 3 and a half years ago (if you’re bad at math). I love Fallout and I love The City of Ember. I only have experience with Minecraft modding (I only built castles,

Villages, etc. for world spawning, in a mod that was ultimately never fully created or released). I have played a number of large Fallout mods that tickle my fan boy nerves and add things I love to a game that I adore. So I could go out and learn how to make mods with GECK, but I really do not have the time to do that. That’s why I am making this request,

 

Anyway let's stop listen to my rambling, and focus on what the mod would really be, in the event of its creation.

 

 

1) Location, location, location:

a) A whole new region would have to be added and in this region there would need to be:

i) The underground city of Ember

(1) This would have tons of buildings.

(2) And would be the main focus of the mod

ii) Possibly some of the places outside the city, that are in the next few books

(1) Although this would not be a high priority

b) An area in the Mojave that starts you on your quest to the city

2) Story. There are a couple possibly stories:

a) The “Oops I stumble up on this place” Key elements would be:

i) A quest that leads you to it

ii) Getting in

iii) Convincing the citizens that there is a world above

iv) Getting out

v) (this one I personally to do not prefer)

b) The “Oops I ended up here with barely any items, and a loss of memory:

i) This would be about the same as the first one. Minus some things

(1) You would not now about the surface your self

(2) You would lose your items (temporarily

ii) You would have to do quests to learn the truth

iii) You would have to find your way out

iv) Once out, you would need to do a quest to gain your old memories back.

(1) This would also make you able to get your old items

v) Now you would go back to the city, and lead everyone else out.

c) Alternative Begin: (the one I prefer)

i) This is as It sounds. You would start off here as a child

(1) You would go through things slowishly and eventually learn the truth

(2) It would be like the beginning of Fallout 3, were you see little antidotes while you grow up

(3) This would eventually lead you out just like the rest of them

ii) It could also follow the main characters of the book, and you would be a 3rd main character, friends with Lina and Doon, or take one of their places completely

 

All of those things are just key elements. If this mod was picked up by anyone, I would ask that attention to detail is crazy. I wouldn't want this to be a sloppy make. That would drastic things, like being able to walk into every building in the city, and even have a conversation

 

This mod would take tons of work, and I would be willing to help in any way that I can. Mostly I do not expect this to actually happen. I just want to put the idea out there. The similarities of plot lines in both the world of Fallout and The City of Ember are crazy. These to universes are the perfect mix of world if you ask me.

 

EDIT: I now have permission to use csx's mod, and continue his work. So that will boost completion.... If anyone actually wants to help with this (again I have no idea what I'm doing when it comes to making a mod of this scale).
