Why no conversion mods?

Did a search for this topic but I didn't find any thing I considered relevant to the question

 

Fallout 3 came out in 2008, and while there are thousands of mods for it (and NV already as well) I haven't been able to find any conversion mods at all. In this case "conversion" denotes a complete change of gameplay and/or backstory, theme or setting using the games existing assets. I'm curious as to why there have been no efforts in this direction?

 

Speaking as someone who has managed several modding teams that have released mods for other games, I am aware of all the usual suspects that prevent mods from coming to fruition. Time constraints, attitude issues, lack of motivation, no cohesive vision, poor implementation, feature creep, etc.

 

Still...you would think that in 2 years you would hear of something being planned.

 

Are there some onerous restrictions in place by Bethesda that prevent such a thing or is it just general lack of interest?

New Vegas has been out how long?

 

don't expect a total conversion for it within the next 5 years

 

If you seek information about Fallout 3

 

consider posting in the Fallout 3 forums

 

and several total conversion mods for FO3

 

have been started

 

and abandoned

 

guess why

 

Hinty -> nothing to do with Bethesda

I'm inquiring about Fallout 3 based games in general, which includes New Vegas. Not specifically FO3 per se. And to clarify I asked about conversion not total conversion, they are 2 very different animals as far as workload.

 

And if I have to guess why the total conversion mods went nowhere I'm going to assume it's due to the reasons I listed in my initial post?
