Can Some Fallout 4 Meshes be Replaced by Fallout 3/ NV Meshes?

[GLITCHEDMATRIX]

Is it possible to import or simply replace nif files, like objects for instance? I just want a certain bottle shape to replace the molotov nif file with for my next mod.

If the NIF format has not changed at all, then yes.

Sweet. I am downloading an entire game just for 1 bottle lol

Unfortunately The .nif format has changed and you can't use assets from one game in another. This means even if you convert the FO3/NV .nif to a format that will not crash FO4 you still can't distribute it here on the nexus.

 

Your only choice is to just use it as a personal mod.

Bottles are pretty easy to model, best bet is to make a custom one.

Is that a Bethesda rule, that you can't use stuff from one game in another?

I had put up a mod of in-game posters, and was considering adding in posters from previous games, but I don't want to do that if it's prohibited....

Yes it's a bethesda rule and if you use ported assets in a mod on the nexus you will have the file removed or be banned for it. I don't want to sound like I'm trying to act like a Moderator but it's in the Rules.

 

You can only use assets from the game your modding or assets you have created yourself. there are some cases where porting is allowed but there rare and you need the original authors permission before uploading the mod. Beth will not give this so don't try to use vanilla assets from one Beth game in another.

 

Sorry

It's a pretty widespread rule in general - a lot of companies do not allow content porting. Bethesda just happens to be one of them.

 

We also do not allow ported content here unless the uploader had permission from the copyright holder of the material you want to use, of if the company has stated publicly that they allow "free use" - The Stalker and witcher games series are two examples of companies allowing content use.

 

From our terms of service:

 

• Absolutely no copyrighted work is to be used without permission of the original creator. This includes content from other games, from DLCs, music creators or from other file authors. This also includes members from countries that do not recognise copyright laws.
• All files uploaded must have been created by the uploader or used with permission from the original author of the content. Such permission must be indicated in the Readme text attached to the file and/or on the Description page (or in the Description field for images), and must be obtained in advance, before uploading the file. If you cannot provide proof of consent then your file will be removed and your account is likely to be banned.
• Always provide appropriate credit to authors who have given you permission to use their content in your files both within the file description and within your file readme, even if said content was published as free to use.

I am new to 3d modeling and have no good programs to model with.

they are the same format but I tried and the mesh didn't work. Also, its just a bottle shape I am using, I was going to make my own texture. I was shocked as to why there are no flat shaped bottles in this game, even whiskey looks like wine bottles. All I needed was a fricken flat bottle with a cork in it lol
