Awesome

Should I go ahead and post those mods in the mods section then?

https://www.nexusmods.com/fallout3/mods/19951/? This mod expands the interior cells, expanding the Halls of Today wing based on information from terminal entries. It is high quality, lore friendly content that fits right in. It, like his other mods, is compatible with DCInteriors and Project Interiors.

https://www.nexusmods.com/fallout3/mods/20044/? This mod adds interiors to 6 homes east of Bethesda. High quality and compatible with DC Interiors, it feels like it was there all along. TTW version: https://www.nexusmods.com/newvegas/mods/58111/? EDIT: Added TTW link

https://www.nexusmods.com/fallout3/mods/19988/? As the title would suggest, this mod adds interior cells to Metro and Monorail cars throughout the CW. While it does not also cover buses like Busworld, it is of higher quality. There are also Busworld edits floating around that contain only buses so as to be compatible with this mod. TTW version can be found here: https://www.nexusmods.com/newvegas/mods/58110/? EDIT: added TTW link

Yea I saw a comment on that the other day. Any chance to separate the Fallout games? With the increasing popularity of C&PD + F&L, having a single mod sub forum for 4 games could get extremely cluttered.

A mod by Hecintrol for consideration Fawkes Re-texture Hi-Res:https://www.nexusmods.com/fallout3/mods/8721/? It retextures Fawkes and his clothes. I just hid the Fawkes skin (he details path instructions) to upgrade his clothes while keeping the Hirezd skin. It's a small mod, but it makes a difference if Fawkes is hanging around all the time.*EDIT: Fail at links apparently.

So far that's at 3290/9627 (34%) for Fallout 3 and 4149/15413 (27%) for Fallout New Vegas for textures replaced.

Quite a few of the other mods should work, but alot would have to be gone through individually: Fixes: Armor Replacer Child NPC Fix - should workReload Speed Game Start Fix - I remember hearing something about an issue with this and TTW but I might be wrongREPCONN Test Site Fixes - Should workSafeShowRaceMenu - I'm not sure. I think FO3 has extra races FNV doesn't, which caused some issues with FCOCut Content New Vegas Uncut Merged - should worksandbox6 Merged - should workQuests Sortomatic - no ideaAll others should workUI Until PN gets sorted out completely with patches I'm not touching thisWeather and Lighting Electro-City - worksNevada Skies - I think they fixed the TTW bugs. I'm not sure it fits DC though.Plants & Stuff Lauren's bathroom poetry - NV side works, FO3 side needs to be converted then mergedIf you'll be my bodyguard Willow - Should workAnimated Sweat Effect - should workFallout Character Overhaul - I've heard there are some issues with racesNew Vegas Redesigned 3 - depends on FCO and therefore the races issueNew Vegas Redesigned 2 - works completely

So I've started trying to merge C&PD + F&L for a TTW overhaul. I'm still quite early into it, focusing mainly on texture/meshes, but have started putting in some of the converted mods. Below is my Mod order (not load order) so far. Mods are prefaced with the game for which they were designed.

Hi, I had a question about some of the Type3 armors listed under "Exeter's Type 3 female armor and outfits." Four of them include .esp which I'd like to disable. At the moment I'm just trying to get only texture/mesh replacers and not new armors. I'm not quite up to par on reading actual .esp changes in *Edit yet so I wanted to see what you thought. Point Lookout outfits for Type 3: Lookout Outfits.espType3 Leather Armors: T3_leather armors.espType3 Businesswear: Tattered_suits.espFreebooter Armor for Type3: Freebooter_Armors.esp Point Lookout: The esp is only there to add the clothes to the Homestead Motel? I think I should be able to disable.Type3 Leather Armor: The esp just adds 2 new armors and places them in the world? I could disable the .esp, then find out which textures/meshes ones are the new ones and hide them.Type3 Businesswear: I'm not clear on this one. Is it only new or are there replacers?Freebooter Armor for Type3: The entire mod is new armors correct?

I have a mod suggestion for consideration: Bailey's Crossing Metro Opened https://www.nexusmods.com/fallout3/mods/19758/? It is done by ChuckSteel of Fallout3 Interiors & NV Interiors fame. It moves the Operation Anchorage entrance from just a door, to the actual metro. He removes the clutter from the entrance, so that now you have to go through the actual metro station.

Great guide overall. I just built my girlfriend's brother his first gaming PC and plan on introducing him to Fallout 3/New Vegas over Christmas, and this is really helping me with some mods I hadn't noticed before. One question/point though, why did you choose A Useful Metro Map - Texture Replacement instead over Metro Map Replacer? While it certainly is more informative over the latter, it feels incredibly gamey. I may be biased as I grew up in NOVA, but the latter is much closer the the actual maps style while still being helpful with the ingame world, and seems alot more immersive.

In regards to 4GB causing ENB to not function (properly or at all). I just added -laaexe .\FalloutNV4GB.exe to the arguments window for 4GB Loader in MO instead of your instructions. The Nexus page for 4GB loader says these are necessary for functioning with ENB or Sweetfx. ENB has worked perfectly ever since.

Here is an album I took setting the light distances to from 100-400% default https://imgur.com/a/stGxM#0. You can clearly see the improvement in the 4 Reach images. Oddly at 3500 you can see a pinpoint light source at the mouth of the cave. At 7000 & 10500 it disappears and at 140000 you can see the ambient light. Outside Whiterun, the tower lighting doesn't seem to change, even though a closer forge dims. The problem of course is when the fade distance meets or exceeds the load distance when moving between grids, causing the light to pop in with the rest of the grid.

I tried his ENB, but the nights didn't mesh well with the CoT Weather Patch darker nights mod. His suggestions on lighting do seem to be an improvement (using RLO and a custom modified ENB for just shadows, reflections, and a couple ther things). I did a quick test standing on the mountains overlooking the reach at a bunch of campfires and it looked quite nice with the fog. I would like to hear second opinions on the settings thought. With what in particular do you disagree?
