hi all,

anybody know of mods expanding the vanilla towns and settlements or adding new ones? im looking for believable, immersive settlement mods that, if you havent played FO3 before, you'd probably think was part of vanilla. meaning, if at all possible, fully voiced.

at the very least, they shouldmake vanilla settlements useful. vanilla arefu, for instance, became completely useless to the player after its quest apart from being a trade stop for the caravan's. there's absolutely no reason for the player to go back there. so if here's a mod making them viable trade spots, i'd really appreciate knowing about that too.

thanks!

Well, if you don't like Vanilla Arefu, try Arefu Expanded or the Crimson Caravan.

There aren't very many fully voiced settlements... I think Rockville Commons is voiced, but the voice actor isn't American, so you'd probably not like it.

I think you're not likely to find much of anything with the standards you have, to be honest.

then lower my standards i shall! just keep the recommendations coming. ill check them out. gotta be better than vanilla, at least.

Return to Shady Sands has gotten very good reviews.

thanks! i just got shady sands. but i understand it ads a new town? any mods that enhance the existing ones instead?

This is one (two) of my favorites:

They are made by the same author and work together to make CC a better, more vibrant place.

Just search Nexus using the names of current towns. That would give you any expansions. I know there is at least one for Megaton and another for TenPenny.
