Introduction[edit | edit source]
Fallout 3 doesn't have the Mod Configuration Menu (MCM) mod that was added for Fallout New Vegas. Instead there are Control Panel menus accessed through the Pipboy Item menus and/or through hotkeys. The following is a list of all the menus added by the mods in theFallout 3 guide, and some recommendations on parameters that are worth changing from their default values.
The list of all Control Panel menus added and the mod that added the menu is provided below. In addition to the menus in the Item menus, the menus for some mods are available through a hotkey. Some Control Panel menus are available through both a hotkey and an item menu.

Darn UI Combat Indicator[edit | edit source]
As mentioned in Arwen's Mod List for Fallout 3 (http://arwenevecom.ipage.com/Fallout/FO-mods01.htm#DarNified) DarnUI includes a Combat Indicator. The default for this indicator is off, but it can be enabled by changing the following line inDarnUI Support for FWE: menus\prefabs\DUIF3Settings.xml with Notepad++. This parameter is not available as an option in the DUIF3 menu, it needs to be changed in the settings file.
change
<_HUDShowCI> 0 </_HUDShowCI> to
<_HUDShowCI> 1 </_HUDShowCI>.
