Fallout 3/New Vegas mod compatibilities (Question, need answers)

[Fluffells]

So, I was looking through for body replacers, and I noticed that some Fallout 3 replacers look better than new vegas, and that the type 3 body was on Fallout 3. That said, would it be possible to use those files for Fallout New Vegas since they use the same engine, basically?

No, the full mods are not interchangeable. Only the the meshes and textures can be used in either game and require a manual install.

 

If you think the textures for the base type 3 look good, I would guess you have not seen Mojave Delight or Beware of Girl.

I have used both. I really dislike MD, but BoG isn't too bad. However, I prefer to use T6M with the Real Feel textures, as well as the Type 3 narrow shoulders mesh fix, since T6M is just a modified Type 3. However, I just wanted to know if other Fallout 3 body replacers worked such as (Just using this as an example) Type V. However, I do appreciate you stating the "Meshes and textures" bit, that's generally how I install my body replacers and apply any texture changes.

Between body types, the key is if they use the same UVmapping (I'm told). Most based upon Type 3 do.

Since the body replacer mesh only shows on the nude body, I have used just about every armor replacer available and only use the DC Delight face textures and BOG body textures.

 

I have not had any problems with the mapping between the different bodies.

 

I pick and choose between the different armors (Type 3F, Type 6M, Type 3M, Type 6 and Type 3) so that there are different body types according to the type of armor being worn.
