Are these mod ideas possible for FO4 and FNV?

[shiki666]

Everyone knows how Tale of Two Wastelands merged New Vegas and FO3. I was wondering if it is even possible to in the future develop a "Merged" Mod for New Vegas and Fallout 4? So for example someone could conceivably start in New Vegas and then after Hoover Dam move to Boston and do Fallout 4? Of course this would have to be after the modding community develop a version of Yukichigai Unofficial Patch for FO4 (the bugs in this game make unpatched New Vegas look playable). I'm only suggesting New Vegas instead of FO3 since FO3 is less "developed" than FNV in terms of game fixes and improvements.

 

Or could it be possible to have a mod take all the special features and changes in FO4 and use it in New Vegas/FO3? I'm talking about the weapon/armor mods, build your own settlement, the power armor suits with fusion cores, the vertibirds, the new VATS system, HUD, etc.

 

 

Oh and in case noone brought this idea up, I wonder if someone could create a mod for the "Pre-Apocalypse" game? I mean in FO4 you have game files showing the npcs, items, houses, cars, and scenery during the Pre-war USA at the beginning. So could a creative modder in theory create a modded FO4 time traveled back to Pre-war and let you play missions and quests in Pre War USA? Would that work? Or would Boston and the other locations need new graphics and files for that? I'm not sure if the game files showed only Sanctuary's location houses or included other places too??

New Vegas and fo3 used the same engine, a couple minor changes but the overall structure was the same, so porting the stuff over was very easy, but the changes to engine and gameplay broke somethings, speech checks, Damage Threshold instead of Damage Resistance. Tale of two wastelands isn't just porting things over, it's rebuilding the stuff that didn't fit the system changes.

for Skyrim, Bethesda built a new engine, there are similarities to the old one but the backend was probably massively redesigned.

Fallout 4 uses an updated version of Skyrims engine, which again is very different to New Vegas' engine.

 

Ignoring the Art design differences, and how jarring they'd look, (coming across one of those crap looking powder gangers outfits alongside the stuff in fo4, not a pretty sight), the systems are incredibly different, Dialogue has massively changed, armour works differently, back to Damage Resistance etc.

Simply put, it might be possible, but it would need a huge team, a huge amount of work, and there's a chance most of the stuff would have the be rebuilt, just take a look at how long tale of two wastelands has been in development, and they have a decent sized team for a mod, this mod would have to be more of a complete rebuild like Skywind, and you can see how long that's taking.

If there was another fo with the same engine, maybe it can be done.
