Need Help Modding F03

[gwoolbert]

Hello everyone, I have been playing f03 for a while now, and have decided to start modding. I have NMM and have a basic knowledge on how to mod the game. I was just wondering if anyone could help me by giving me a list of good mods that would make the game better, more fun and more replayability. Thank you in advance for the help and Happy Modding!

I just started playing FO3 for the first time and likewise am starting to mod it. I suggest looking through the list of files of the month or top files of all time. That's what I did. I don't have a lot right now but I'm using FWE, EVE, Ironsights, Mart's Mutant Mod, and a couple weapon/armor mods. I'd like hear what people who have been modding this game for a while think, but it doesn't seem like these forums are all that active anymore.

 

Will probably finish this play through before trying out any more. Though I am using Mod Organizer so I could make a new profile to test some others. I read a couple places that Mod organizer dosen't play well with FO3 but it seems to be working fine for me thus far.

The top files lists here: http://www.nexusmods.com/fallout3/mods/top/?

 

Stuff to know

not every mod installs the same way, and not all will install properly with a mod manager - so be sure to read the documentation for each mod.

Not every mod is going to be compatible with every other mod

Sometimes load order is important - LOOT is the best way to help organize your load order - NOT a mod and does not install like a mod. LOOT: https://loot.github.io/

Some mods require FOSE ( Fallout Script Extender) they will not work without it - again not a mod so read the instructions - Here: http://fose.silverlock.org/

 

There is a lot more to successfully using mods, but that should be enough to get you started. :thumbsup:
