First time playing Fallout 3. Any mod recommendations?

Recommended Posts

Its my first time playing Fallout 3 (never played any of the Fallout series).

 

This link is my basis for modding Fallout 3: http://www.pcgamer.com/2010/10/13/10-essential-fallout-3-mods/

 

A nice quaint little list of mods, don't you think? Neat and tidy!

 

I was surprised to find no other such lists online (with the little time I have). Not one sticky in the Steam Forums or here. Not any "Beautifying Fallout 3" topics, etc.

 

Now I know that I'd probably be kicking myself later for asking you guys for any mod recommendations. I mean, that's what happened to me with Oblivion; barely scratched the surface of that game, I just went mod-crazy.

 

I'd like to limit my mods for Fallout 3. But having said that...any recommendations? :D

 

PS: I'd appreciate it if you would mention the reason why you recommend it. And this time, I'd really take into consideration how many times the mod anyone would recommend have been downloaded, and the amount of + and - recommendations it got.

 

PPS: I really really don't have much time to do this...oh college 2nd time around. Weeee.

Essential mods are:

 

FOOK2 > FallOut Overhaul Kit. Gives weapons REAL names instead of Ultra-Generic-Please-Don't-Sue-Us names, as well as improved textures across the board, makes followers less retarded and makes you have to give them ammo and a plethora of CUSTOMISABLE gameplay tweaks.

 

NMCs Textures > Install after other mods, but wow does this make a hell of a difference. Vanilla FO3 is utterly unplayable. Have a look at the images, you will not be disappointed.

 

MMM > Marts Mutant Mod. Considered one of THE best if not THE best mod ever made for Fallout 3. Now, I will admit, I have not personally used it so I cannot give my opinion, but I will be using it on my next playthough.

 

Fellout > Again, imo 100% Essential. Removes the hideous green tinting all over the place and makes Nights actually Dark (as you would expect in a freaking Post Apocalyptic world) and brutal.

Weapon Mod Kits > The mod so amazing they had to nick it for New Vegas. Nuf Said. :D

 

Unofficial Fallout 3 Patch > Does what it says on the Tin. The Broken Steel patch is bugged on Rivet City though, you'll need to patch it with this.

 

CASM > One Billion percent essential. Gamebryo has always had funky autosaves, but FO3's issues are REALLY bad. This replaces that entirely and fixes those issues.

 

DC interiors > As mentioned an outstanding mod.

 

You already mentioned "There is more where that came from." GNR mod which is another excellent mod. After that it really is a matter of personal taste. I personally have the HD Audio mod, a Quicker Entrance to Underworld mod, a high Quality Moon mod, an autoaim Fix mod, Level Cap remover, Faster Pipboy light and a Sprint Mod. I never did like Wanderers Edition myself, but each to their own. :)

 

Don't forget to get FOSE (FallOut Script Extended) and FOMM (Fallout Mod Manager), both of which are needed for most mods anyway!
