I understand that and I know I'm in the minority here so it's not something you should concern yourself with. I've never been into FPS games that much so making Fallout more like one doesn't interest me. And I've found that mods that add a lot of new weapons and ammo types tend to cause more headaches then they solve, not to mention it can cause "too many weapons and not enough ammo" situations, where there's so many ammo types that you can only find a small amount of each so you have to carry around a dozen weapons and switch constantly. Updated meshes and textures are cool, no problem at all with them, just in my experience mods that add a lot of new weapon and ammo types don't add much to the game and more often then not either unbalance it by introducing weapons that are too powerful or add so many new ammo types that you can never naturally find enough for the weapons you do have. So in my install, I skip mods like FWE and a lot of the extra weapons, and the mods that add lore-unfriendly new enemies. For now I'm leaving Calibr and xcalibr in the "optional" list unless I run into a mod that I want to use that needs them. I might change my mind later, it's been a long time since I played FO3 and what I found annoying or headache-inducing in FNV might not be so in FO3.

Well I stopped using Project Nevada in FNV because I didn't care for most of the features and it required too many compatibility patches, so it just wasn't worth it to me. I am assuming I would have the same experience with FWE. I'm not a fan of making Fallout more "FPS-like", the current options to use VATS or not depending on the situation is just fine in my opinion. The few options from it that I might like to use aren't worth the extra hassle for me. I understand many people prefer using FWE and PN, but I just happen to be one of the people who would rather not bother. If there's a compelling reason to use FWE that has nothing to do with bullet time or grenade hotkeys or other "FPS" conventions, then I might reconsider.

Ah, that's why then, I don't use FWE. Thank you

I think there might be a step missing on the "eXcalibr - ammo eXpansion pack" installation, or the instructions are outdated. First it says "Do not select any Overide options." When I installed it, there weren't any options at all, besides whether to extract the bsa or not. Second the instruction of "Double click the mod in the left pane of MO and move CALIBR.esm to Optional ESPs." That leaves xCALIBR.esm active, but CALIBR.esm is listed as a master for xCALIBR.esm so that would result in a missing master CTD on game start. So are we supposed to move both esm files to optional, or does this issue get resolved later in the guide, or is there indeed a missing step?
