Enhanced Blood Textures - The default blood textures in Fallout 3 are, um, bad. This mod adds in high-quality blood textures. The point of this mod is not to enhance blood and gore, but to change blood texture from being ugly and looking like strange red jello to being more immersive and real.
Clarity
Vanilla Tints Neutralized Description ____________ I am a fan of Fallout 3's atmosphere and default weather settings, but for the life of me I cannot accept the sickly greenish tints of the Capital Wasteland or the blistering blues of Anchorage, so I made Clarity. In a nutshell, Clarity changes the RGB entries for all Weather types, ImageSpaces, and Lighting Templates in the base game and DLC's to neutral numbers. What does this mean? No unnatural ambient colors, instead all color comes from light sources and the sky like it should. Color intensity was kept the same as well, so as an example take an ambient weather RGB as R:162 G:202 B: 112 and add them together for a total of 476. I divide this number by three to get 158.6 repeating or 159 rounded and then replace this number for R, G, and B to keep the same intensity while neutralizing the tint. Additionally, no entries in the Lights category were changed so some areas that seem a little bit redder are because of the warm lighting used. Installation/Uninstallation ___________________________ It's a simple .esp that can be installed either using NMM or manually by moving it to the data folder and checking it in your plugin launcher of choice like FOMM. It's perfectly safe to uninstall using NMM or by deleting the Clarity.esp from your data folder and it doesn't affect your savegames in any way. Compatibilities/Conflicts __________________________ Unfortunately, Clarity DOES NOT WORK with any weather, atmosphere, or lighting mods such as Fellout or Realistic Interior Lighting because I made it for the sole purpose of utilizing the vanilla artstyle while displaying more colors than just green. Recommendations ___________________ For a more aesthetically pleasing experience please check out my menu and loading screen mod Adam's Vision which was recently updated to Version 2. If you want more realistic weather with bright, hot days I highly recommend Fallout 3 Realistic Wasteland Lighting and for pitch black tunnels and sensible lighting levels check out Realistic Interior Lighting - Paradox Mergers Version Fallout 3 Graphics Overhaul Mod - 2014
EVE - EVE, or Energy Visuals Enhanced, greatly improves Fallout 3’s default effects for energy weapons (plasma and laser rifles). In my opinion, EVE is one of the most impressive Fallout 3 mods available and is simply a must-have. Combine this with EIP (in the content/quests section) for perfect fusion, due to how many of the Enclave use energy weapons -- this lets EVE show off what its additions.
Fellout - Even 200 years after the nuclear war, there is a green tint to everything. Fellout corrects this so colors are normalized (but still a little washed-out and apocalyptic). A simple change that some purists may hate, but that many will love simply for ease on the eyes. Another change Fellout makes is darker nights, since default Fallout 3 nights looking more akin to a cloudy day than night in a post-apocalyptic wasteland.

Fallout Street Lights - The streetlights in Fallout 3 are always dark, and while that is realistic, it is fairly boring. With the combination of darker nights from Fellout and some lights from this mod, the night truly becomes eerie. I do suggest following the author’s advice and tweaking light distance via the .ini file.

Hi-Res Weapons - Weapons in Fallout 3 may be unique and interesting, but they certainly aren’t much to look at. This mod fixes that by greatly improving the texture resolution of some common weapons. Another notable mod which improves weapon textures is F03-WRP; these mods can be used together, although some textures will conflict, requiring you to choose one texture for a weapon.
Fallout 3 Re-Animated - Some of the animations in Fallout 3 just look awkward, and this mod aims to improve that by adding in new animations for attacking and idle. This mod includes 35 new animations, although most are for rifles.
MTUI - The UI in Fallout 3 is fairly bad. It doesn’t scale well with larger screens, fill up all the space it should, or even look good. This mod greatly improves Fallout 3’s UI, and while it is not needed, I do strongly suggest it.
Enhanced Night Sky - This simple mod really creates presence in Fallout 3 by adding a high-resolution replacement for the default night sky. Along with darker nights, this mod makes the wasteland an eerie-but-pretty place at night.
NMCs Texture Pack - You can’t have a mod overhaul without texture packs. This texture pack is a godsend for a game like Fallout 3; the default textures for things like doors and stop signs are simply atrocious, leftovers of an era when optimization concerns ran rampant. Modern hardware lets us get away with a lot higher-quality textures. This mod brings new textures, some of which are impressively lifelike. One of the textures this improves greatly is ground clutter, which is fairly blurry in Fallout 3 without mods.
Notable mention: Midhrastid ENB is a fairly good ENB mod for lighting and shadows. I unfortunately couldn’t get it to work on Windows 8.1. Also consider Fallout 3 Redesigned, which improves the faces and hair of NPCs, although it has texture compatibility issues with some of these other mods.

With the announcement of Fallout 76 fresh in your mind, you might be clamoring for some post-apocalyptic action. For many, that means returning to the one that changed everything (except war, because, well, you know…war never changes): Fallout 3.
If you haven’t taken a stroll through the Capital Wasteland in a while, you might notice how dated Fallout 3 might feel. Don’t worry, there’s a mod for that. Maybe you’re looking for a new way to play. Again, there’s a mod for that. At this point, nearly 10 years since its release, there’s a mod for virtually anything you can think of.
Nexus Mod Manager
If you’ve ever modded a game before, you know it can quickly turn into a mess of files. If you haven’t modded a game before, this is your warning. Fortunately, all of the stress of rummaging through hundreds of files can quickly be relinquished with the Nexus Mod Manager Mod. Simply put, this mod manager allows you to control which mods are active and which are not. It also does all the stressful, file-changing, .ini stuff for you. When loading files into the manager, though, make sure you’ve thoroughly read the contents of each readme file as they’ll usually dictate which order a file must be loaded in and more.
Facelift Mods
At almost 10 years of age, Fallout 3 is very old in video game years. It looks old and it feels old, too. Thankfully, there’s plenty of mods to fix her right up. First and foremost, download the Unofficial Fallout 3 Patch. It essentially fixes all of the bugs and glitches present in the retail version of the game. This is a must-have for Fallout 3, even if you don’t plan to add any other mods to the game. The other quintessential mod you need is the Fallout Stutter Removal. This mod gets rid of frame rate stutters you might encounter while playing the game, of which there will be a lot. Finally, install the Fallout 3 Reanimated mod. This mod will get rid of all those weird and janky character and creature animations.
NMC Texture Pack
The NMC Texture Pack removes almost every texture in the game and replaces it with a high-resolution texture asset. There are also different downloads of this mod based on your computer specs. If you can run it, there’s a download that replaces the old textures with 2K resolution textures. If you’re PC is a bit slower these days, there are lower-resolution packs available to download. The best thing about this texture pack is that once downloaded, the wasteland is still the wasteland. This mod doesn’t make drastic changes to the landscape — the landscape just looks way better.
FOOK 2
Fallout 3 has plenty to offer, but in a game this vast, is there such a thing as too much? Maybe, but we’re not there yet. With the FOOK 2 mod, you’ll have over 100 new weapons to choose from, more clothing options, and some fun and shiny new textures to go along with it too — these textures add a nice pop of color to the otherwise, very bleak and very green-fogged, wasteland. NPCs, both enemies and allies, will have more weapons at their disposal, and they’ll have some fancy new clothes on, too.
Pro evolution soccer 2007 pc download torrent. This mod is basically the culmination of a vast amount of other mods–sure, you can add each mod individually with more tweaking, but if you’re looking to get the job done quick, this is the mod for you.
Fellout
When it first released, the green fog that shades the wasteland of Fallout 3 made sense; it was a part of the story. Now, though, most people aren’t concerned with the story. You’ve likely beaten it plenty of times. You’re here to jump back into one of your favorite games and relish in memories past. With that being said, let’s get rid of that nasty green fog and replace it with a new dawn and a new day. The Fellout mod removes Fallout 3’s green tint and replaces it with a beautiful sun and plenty of sunshine. Coffee maker plastic taste. If your original playthrough of Fallout 3 was the stormy night, then your play through with the Fellout mod is your bright, sunshiny day.
Enhanced Weather
If the Fellout mod isn’t for you, or you just prefer dark and scary days, then something tells me you’ll like the Enhanced Weather mod. This mod adds new weather to the landscape that includes hellacious thunderstorms, blistering cold snowstorms, sandstorms, and even radioactive rain. On top of that, this mod comes packed with a dynamic weather system that makes the changes in weather feel more natural. Furthermore, you’ll gain a sneak bonus while sneaking during a thunderstorm. In a world all but destroyed by nuclear fallout, this weather mod feels right at home.
Mart’s Mutant Mod
There’s plenty to encounter and talk to, or kill, in Fallout 3, but Mart the Modder said that there wasn’t enough! Because of that, he created the Mart’s Mutant Mod. This mod adds in a decent amount of new creatures and enemies to the game, both hostile and friendly, for you to encounter across the wasteland. It also revamps their AI which, considering how dated Fallout 3’s AI is, is a welcome bonus. Enemies are smarter and they fight each other. Their sizes are also randomized as well, so a human-sized mutant might stand 20 feet tall in a random encounter.
Fallout 3: Wanderer’s Edition
Fallout 3 Wanderer’s Edition is a straight-up overhaul of Fallout 3 that will not only make the game more immersive, but more terrifying as well. This mod improves the game’s first-person mode by making combat faster paced (we all love the VATS system but it can be really slow) and more skill-based — you have fewer bullets, enemies are tougher, and weapons are more powerful. Packed into this mod is an optional survival mechanic that requires you to eat, drink, and sleep to stay alive. Those mechanics, coupled with the already challenging landscape of Fallout 3, on top of the increased challenge of the Wanderer Edition’s other changes, make Fallout 3 feel like a completely different game. Of course, if there are parts of this mod you don’t like, it’s very customizable and allows you to change what you want.
The most compelling mod I installed is clearly heretical in nature: Green world replaces the brown grass and dead trees with lush greenery. Now, the Fallout games are clearly established as taking place in a more or less lifeless world. It’s an endless wasteland of sterile dirt and rock. This breaks that. I will not defend the mod against the charge that it moves the setting of Fallout 3 even further from the originals, and in fact I admit I would probably have faulted Bethesda if they had made the game look this way by default. But I can’t let my small-minded hypocrisy stand in the way of fun. This is a drastic improvement in many ways. I could not believe how much of a difference this thing made to my enjoyment of the game.
The trees introduce a bit of mystery to the horizon. It was often monotonous to march over the unbroken line of lifeless dirt. Now trees block your view in some places. Other places are open. Now when you travel it feels like you’re going somewhere.
The color variety is important as well. The 2D Fallout games had more colorful foes, pools of bright green goo, and slightly more colorful clothing and scenery. That’s been toned down with the move towards photo-realism. Worse, moving the camera to first person means that you’re now seeing all the way to the horizon, which makes the brown sort of pervasive and smothering. You can say that this is how the world of Fallout should look, and I won’t argue with you. But there is only so much brown I can look at in a session, and without the greenery the entire world is the color of dirt and ash. The splashes of green produce some desperately needed contrast to the view.
But the biggest change of the mod is just to change our perception of the wasteland. Vanilla Fallout 3 presents a barren, lifeless world. No tress. Barely any grass, most of which is brown. This introduces a lot of questions as to how in the heck anything is still alive after 200 years. No vegetation means no food chain. No food chain means nothing for humans to eat. Humans should have starved about 20 years after the bombs fell, as the last of the old food stores were depleted. The idea that this world could support not just humans, but massive predators like Deathclaws, Yao Guai, Super Mutants, and Mirelurks is ridiculous.
But the wasteland presented in this mod is very different. This isn’t a world rendered uninhabitable by human civilization. This is a world that is simply forgetting human civilization. Grass and trees encroach on the borders of the city. Grass pokes up through the cracked pavement, inexorably reclaiming the land.
With this mod, the food chain is plausible. Sure, the game doesn’t show any crops being grown, but it’s easier to believe in farming that happens off-screen than it is to believe that people are still living off of 200 year old boxes of cereal.
There are a few minor issues. The oasis region won’t make any sense now, since your character will make a big deal over seeing green trees even though they’re all over the wasteland now. The trees are non-solid to avoid breaking the AI pathfinding. There are a small number of places where the branches poke through walls, which looks wrong. Still, it’s amazing someone was able to make such vast changes with such minor side-effects.
The overgrown world has a kind of lonely, forlorn feel to it. It reminds me a bit of the New York we see in I am Legend. Lost and empty.
Maybe it’s not Fallout proper, but I like it better this way. Given the other betrayals to canon and continuity that were integrated into the game, this mod is a small deviation with pleasing results.
You can download Green world yourself if you want to give it a try.
Other mods I would consider essential: * Something to make the interface less stupid on the PC. * Fast VATS, to speed up the tedious cutscenes that play when you shoot someone. I’m not against a little slo-mo now and again for special moments, but having the game slow down every. single. time. you pull the trigger, and then having the camera linger over their corpse for several seconds, completely ruins the effect. I found myself ignoring VATS, and then turning down the difficulty (the game is much harder without VATS) which more or less reduced the game to DOOM. Which also becomes boring. Much better to play the game as intended, but with less slo-mo nonsense. * Fellout, which gets rid of the pervasive green tint in the world. Like green world, this gives some visual variety to the lighting and color, as opposed to “all green, all the time”. * Some variety of level un-capper. It’s no fun hitting the level cap before you’re even halfway through the game, which can easily happen if you come from the Do Every Quest school of thought. You have to be careful here, because these aren’t mods so much as “hacks”. The level 20 cap is built into all sorts of game mechanics, and breaking it can break the game in annoying ways. (The most obvious problem is that you’ll quickly master all skills and accrue a massive, game-breaking load of hitpoints.) Really, I’d be happy with retaining the power of a level 20 character, as long as it still allowed me to clock more levels. There are a lot of mods with varying approaches to this problem. Your mileage may vary. * Some sort of body mod. Some players want nudity. Some players just want better looking people in the wasteland. Some players just want the people (raiders, mostly) to have underwear that makes some kind of sense. No matter what your preference is, there’s probably a mod that will fix things up. (But above all, I wish there was some dang variety. No mods seem to offer that, sadly.) * Hunger, Thirst, Sleep. I discovered this yesterday when Rutskarn mentioned it in the comments. I’ve only dabbled with it so far, but I will say that this might be the most interesting mod yet. Even better than Green World. It turns this game into a genuine fight for survival. Pure water is no longer Halloween candy to be handed out to idiot NPCs for free karma. It’s a precious resource, and you will need to fight for it. Last night I came across the random event where some escaped slaves are arguing with some ghouls over who should get some fresh water. In the past I made my decision on how to handle the encounter based on what my alignment was. This time, I made the decision based on TWO AND A HALF DAYS OF WATER? I NEED THIS! This is what playing a good-aligned character should feel like: A battle of need vs. conscience. If you share your water with an NPC, you deserve those karma points, because you have made a tangible in-game sacrifice. The only thing ruining it is your ability to get rid of all radiation for free at home. (Thus allowing you to drink dirty water for free.)

From The Archives:
Welcome to the unofficial guide to 'Fallout 3' video game. This guide will help you in surviving in the unpleasant territories of the Capitol Wasteland. I've created this survival kit not only to help less experienced players, but also to satisfy fans of the series. A lot of easter eggs and bonus items have been described, so you won't have to look for them on your own.
This guide has been divided into three separate parts. The first chapter of the guide is focused only on describing quests you're given by non-player characters. I've described all the main quests required to finish the game, as well as side missions you'll receive during your time spent in Capitol Wasteland. I guess I should tell you right now that 'Fallout 3' has a much more complex quest system than the previous Bethesda game - 'Oblivion'. Most of the quests have at least two different endings, as well as a very non-linear structure. You can also use perks and skills to modify their progress by unlocking new conversation options or receive unique rewards from the non-player characters. Obviously my guide contains all of that, so you don't worry that you'll miss something important or interesting. The second chapter of the guide focuses primarily on the game world. More than two dozen maps have been made. These maps show the wasteland, as well as focus on smaller areas (mostly cities) occupied by friendly characters. The sole purpose of creating them was to allow you to travel through the wasteland more freely, so you won't spend a lot of time trying to find new locations. In addition to areas of the map, I've also said a few things about potential dangers you may encounter while travelling through Capitol Wasteland. This includes enemy encounters, as well hazards such as radiation or poison. The final section of this chapter lists all available achievements, as well points out where to look for bonus items. You can try and search for Vault-Tec bobbleheads and unique weapon schematics. The third chapter of the guide contains a lot of hints on how to create your character, how to make him stronger and more useful with every level he achieves (including choosing the best perks), how to fight and how to maintain your inventory.
I've used four different colors in my guide in order to make the reading process a lot easier, especially if you're looking for an information concerning an item or a non-player character. The brown color was used to mark movable objects. Obviously this includes NPC's, but I've also marked monsters and robots. The blue color marks visited locations. I've used it not only to pin point main areas, but to let you know about secondary locations as well. The green color should help you in finding new items. The orange color marks the places where using a perk is possible or when you're rewarded with a unique perk that you wouldn't be able to receive any other way.
Have fun playing the game!
