Oblivion-Fallout 3 conversions

[f4110u73]

Hello, I was wondering if anyone with the knowledge of how to convert mods from Oblivion to mods for Fallout 3 could tell me how to do it? Thanks. I don't need to know how to convert weapons. Just armor. Edited November 26, 2010 by f4110u73

well, i think it is actually quite simple (at least if you want to convert item mods)

for weapon mods, i don't know if you even need to check the files, i think you can just copy the files to the Fallout 3 directory, and re-make them in the GECK (but i'm not 100% sure, as you might need to change something about the items)

 

for clothing and armor mods, there is a skeleton file that allows Oblivion armors to function properly in Fallout 3 (due to having different skeletons in the games) so after you get that skeleton (which you can find on the Fallout 3 Nexus) you can just move the files into the Fallout 3 directory, and re-make the items in the GECK

 

as for more serious mods, i really don't know

it could be far harder to convert more complicated mods

which mods do you want to convert, by the way??

I wanted to convert this mod: http://www.tesnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=29911#fileanchor I am asking for permission to use it for Fallout 3. I am not going to reupload it to Fallout 3 nexus and I won't add it to another site. Edited November 26, 2010 by f4110u73

than contact the author and ask for his\her permission

 

and i think that what i have written should be enough for you to be able to convert the armor

 

good luck :)

Is it the same method for converting New Vegas to Fallout? My friend wants to know.

Thank you!

as far as i know, Fallout 3 and New Vegas use the same skeleton, so all you really need to do is copy the items into the directory of the game, and re-create the armors in the correct GECK (it would work both ways)

 

now, i didn't try to do it, but as far as i can tell, it should work without any problems

Cool, thanks!
