Don't need to. Just use the mediafire links. I assume you're interested in the mods. If anyone uses Mothership Zeta Crew, the same guy retextured that: https://modgames.net/load/fallout3/modeli_i_tekstury/mothership_zeta_crew_retexture/33-1-0-17970&usg=ALkJrhimpNwT94fwcaUN3bOcFRwKYBzjLA https://yadi.sk/d/SPrFyvOiWW57g He also made some fixes for the NMC pack which are pretty interesting: https://modgames.net/load/fallout3/modeli_i_%2520%2520tekstury/optimization_and_bugsfix/33-1-0-17050 https://www.mediafire.com/download/9rc2cd9s2f1cxa3/NMC+0.9.7z I'm installing some of these now. I'll make some before and after pics.

The modgames downloads just redirect to mediafire. And yandex whatever that is.

There are plenty of reasons not to like it. Some very prominent Oblivion modders are conspicuous by their absence on that site. Less so with the newer games I think, which I put down to lack of options. Anyway this guide seems like an excellent excuse to dig up mods in other places.

Modgroups looks interesting as a convenience but I never really had any problems determining what did or didn't still need to be patched. Maybe it's just because of the scope of my mod, but I just went sequentially through every relevant category in every one of my masters. Existing patches were a good template for what needed to be patched - not perfect but good. I'm kind of working in the opposite direction of this modgroups method. I'm making the big patch first, then getting rid of all elements that rely on, say, EVE, and making a plugin out of that. If we're all careful enough, both ways should accomplish the same thing. I don't see an advantage one way or another, though maybe I had to do a bit more work by scratch. What kind of patches are you making Ghostwise? I hope we're not working on the same thing.

It's a single patch for purely selfish reasons. Those just happen to be the mods I like to use and it annoyed me that after all these years they don't work better together. I will be making at least two smaller plugins that don't require EVE or RH_ironsights respectively. In the end the main file will probably not require EVE and things like EVE or other mod support will go into additional plugins. It's pretty open ended right now though so I welcome any suggestions as to where I should go with this. This weekend I'll be releasing a beta version that will more accurately represent the final form of the patch. The only big weapons mod I know I won't be covering is FOOK. Otherwise anything that affects weapons is fair game. So you would need to run Blackened as well if you're also using MMM or Project Beauty. There's one big question someone here might be able to answer. What's the modding community's stance on the Paradox merged mods? I'm using them as masters for convenience and because the latest version of EVE requires it, but I don't like the one-size-fits-all aspect to them. I'd imagine a community of tweakers like this one would feel the same way, so is there a market for something like Blackened but for the separated versions? I'd be open to going in that direction with my mod if that were the case. Lastly I'm very curious about those teased features for FO3edit. Can you give me a link to that?

That's me. And thanks for the tip, this is definitely pertinent to my interests. I used STEP for Skyrim and I like where you're going with this. It'll take me a while to get up to speed with everything you're doing here but I hope I can be of some use. At the very least you might be interested in another mod I'm working on that patches popular mods like DC interiors for spelling and grammar. Anyway, I'll be around.
