possible to port fallout 3 and fallout new vegas animations and weapons?

[atm1090]

is it possible to port fallout 3 and fallout new vegas animations and weapons into fallout 4? ive ported a weapon model from fnv to f03 a long time ago. is there any legal things or major issues that might come up when porting older weapon animation and models into fallout 4? I would like to make this a published mod and allow for other people to use it for their mods because fallout 4 hasn't had the weapon modding success that the previous games have enjoyed.

also the revolver and bolt action rifle animations bother the living hell out of me

You can do it for yourself but you cannot distribute ported assets from another game without the consent of the copyright holder. In this case Bethesda said no porting their game assets into another game under any circumstances. You can do this for personal use though.

Not directly, Bethesda would take legal action on you even of you own both games, you can try to make a new model though.

No.

how would I get approval from Bethesda? how would I get them to see my request and not ignore it?

[DoctorKaizeld]

... You dont.

They already officially stated it is not allowed and they have had that stance for every game after Morrowind. They have a reason for it which has to do with assets not being made for other games im not sure exactly. They dont need one anyways as the copyright holders they can say no and be done with. If you do ask you will either be ignored or told no.

Animations don't work like that: you can't easily port animations unless the rig is identical (or at worst, extremely similar).

​Weapons, on the other hand: fairly trivial to do, but it'll look extremely bad in FO4. Not to mention, not exactly legal unless you're doing it for fun only and it's all private.
