Specific mod combo I want opinions about

[Jimmious]

Hello everyone, nice to meet ya all :)

So I want to play a better FO3 so I'm considering some mods.

I want to play with the following mods activated:

 

FO3 Wanderers Edition

Marts Mutant Project

Fallout 3 Re-Animated

DCInteriors Project

 

First of all is it possible or do these mods conflict?

 

And on a second note, do you have any other specific mods that will increase realism AND fun at the same time?

 

Thanks!

Did that but without FWE, should work fine.

I kinda have them in an "order of preference" there, so FWE is probably the most important for me to have hehe. You wouldn't happen to know if this would also be ok eh?

Thanks for the answer :thumbsup:

i know that FWE and MMM works together really well

i've been using these two for years now, and i am really happy about it

you will need to go to the FOIP page, and get the patch for these two

 

i don't really know about Fallout 3 Re-Animated

it really depends if FWE has Iron Sights for weapons or not (since i use BoE and EVE too, i really can't recall)

if it has Iron Sights, it will make using these guns a real pain

some of the animations from this mod are good, but i removed most of them, as they really made it hard to use weapons properly

 

as for the DC Interiors Project, i never used it, but there should be no conflict with it, so go ahead and use it

 

all in all, in every big mod's page, there should be a section about compatibility, so read what it says, as it usually has the answer

 

if you want an awesome experience, you may want to try a mix of FWE + MMM + FoTM + EVE + BoE + WMK

there is a rather new patch, should be in the top 5 mods right now, that allows you to use FWE and MMM and FoTM, and an EVE patch should come real soon

and as the creator of this patch uses BoE too, he guarantees that this will work together really well

i use this mix aside from FoTM (because i started my latest game a long time before this patch was uploaded), but if i ever get to have another go of FO3, i must use FoTM as well

 

i would also recommend Fellout, which is an amazing mod that gives the wasteland a new, more beautiful look, while making it feel more realistic (and in a way, more cruel, especially with it's darker nights)

First of all thanks for the advice :happy:

Now I'll have to do my research since I don't know all the abbreviations for the mods hehehe

However about Fellout, only one thing bugs me: the clear blue sky. Doesn't seem so natural to me after a nuclear war... But anyway, how the hell should anyone know how the sky would be in that occasion? Hehehhe :laugh:

let me save you the time for the search, and just give you links to these mods

 

FWE FoTM patch (look under the Requirements tab for links to both FWE and FoTM)

 

MMM

 

BoE (BoE FWE patch, BoE WMK patch)

 

WMK

 

xCalibr Ammo (needed for BoE)

 

EVE

 

this should be all

hope this helps :)

holy crap, so fallout tactics is a 1GB download? is it too noob to ask the basic gist, does it just rework NPC AI so everyone fights smarter (taking cover, flanking, coordinating attacks ect) ?

 

xCalibr Ammo (needed for BoE)

 

sry whyve you included this? the main BoE file comes with xCalibur.esm and xCaliburUniverse.esm, and has all the ammos required to play BoE weapons

 

Jimious, id also recommend waiting till your done with the facegen before installing Re-Animated, it adds an idle animation where your character keep looking around so hard to see what your doing in that menu

 

another essential mod is Darnified UI F3 makes all menus more compact, especially the pipboy

i'm not really sure if FoTM is affecting AI or not, but if i recall correctly, FWE already does this

 

as for the xCalibr ammo, i added this because i couldn't remember if it was really required or not

i know that the xCalibr Store mod required this, but i couldn't remember if BoE already had the resources or not

so i wanted to prevent any problems (and i'm sure people will forgive me for an unnecessary link)

 

i would also recommend using Darnified UI, it is practically essential, and being so, i forgot it was even there

believe me, the game looks so much better with the HUD of Darnified UI
