I′m looking for a dl link for FO3_Master_Update.

Download FO3Edit: http://www.fallout3nexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=637

Make a copy of FO3Edit.exe and rename it FO3MasterUpdate.exe.

Make a second copy and name it FO3MasterRestore.exe in order to reverse the Master Update process if you need to.

Scope fixes? In WMK, my laser rifle with a scope does not shoot at the crosshairs, it consistently shoots right below it.

Hi,

thx a lot but this is not the one I`m looking for I think.

What I have is:

- FO3_Master_Update_Updated_September_29-1925.

It includes FO3Edit, FO3MasterRestore, FO3MasterUpdate already. No need for copying and renaming.
I`ve been away from Fallout3 for some time(doing a reinstall now) and have lost link to this utility. AFAIR it is slightly tweaked compared to Elminsters original, worked great for me and I want to check if it`s been updated.

Regards, Haldir

That is the one that I use, it is the latest (that I am aware of) and you can find it on http://www.fallout3nexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=1925, just look under the update section

Is there a mod that makes the Pride meet you at Chevy Chase even if you get information on Dad in RC or the vault? Its one of my favorite parts of the game, did't know that it wouldt happen if you meet Li <_<

Are there any mods that make it so that when you use your environment to kill enemies you actually get XP for it? Like for example, I can blow up a car to kill a pack of ghouls but I get no xp for the kills. I love doing this because it saves ammo and is more efficient overall, but I get no XP so I don't use my environment to kill enemies until I am level capped.

I do know for a fact that the game keeps track of who causes explosions because I just tested it. I shot a car until it started to catch fire with some BOS guy standing beside it. As soon as it did the little explosion that precedes the real one all the BOS turned hostile because I had caused that BOS man harm. I dropped my weapon and they all stopped shooting at me then once the car exploded and killed the BOS man they were all pissed and killed me. I never actually hit him with a round, I am 100% sure. I tested this multiple times to be sure. So if there are any mods that give XP for killing with your environment, I would appreciate being directed to them.

Just hoping someone will know. I tried searching on Nexus but came up with nothing relevant.

Just reinstalled and got the game running, haven't played in awhile. I'm looking for some mods to make exploration more satisfying and rewarding and to improve the scavenging aspect of the game. Last I checked I couldn't find any mods that made hunting any better, but that'd be appreciated too. I also plan on using FWE, so compatibility is important. Thanks to anybody in advance. Pinto, that list is helping. Nice.

Way back when the GECK was barely released, I remember collaborating with a few folks trying to figure out how to make a laser weapon that fired a steady beam. I believe the solution was to use the flamethrower as a base, except we used lasers instead of the fire effect.

Anyone know if there's a mod that does this? I bet I can reproduce it myself in GECK, but it can save me a bit of time.

Has anyone ever fixed the merc adventurer outfit (female version)? Compared to the other merc clothing, the adventurer outfit is looking pretty ratty, threads hanging off it front and back and that wristband on the left arm has seen better days.

I see quite a few merc outfits have been redone ... don't know if the merc adventurer outfit in particular has been fixed.

I looked at that one just before posting, you can see the threads hanging in the screenshots.

http://www.fallout3nexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=13155 ...this one looked good both female & male
http://www.fallout3nexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=2385 ...not so good
http://www.fallout3nexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=3378 ...male only
you might have allready looked at those ... however .....
there is this one http://www.fallout3nexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=10375 it adds missing uniques to the game
and the Merc Ventures Outfit looks good.
I'm all tapped out of ideas ..maybe someone else will know other sources.

My evil character has, er, appropriated Wilhelm's Warf from Grandma Sparkle. This is the first time I've tried using that shack for anything, but its kind of nice. The surroundings are pretty, and its got a fridge, garbage can, gun cabinet, wardrobe and bed. Best of all the storage is either just outside or just inside the door - no need to walk far for anything. Does anybody know of a mod that maybe cleans the place up a little, and makes the bed usable?

Thanks for the suggestions. The first is too radical a change, the second & third are male only reskins, the fourth is a decent reskin but the problem is in the mesh and even in the screenshots it still shows the problem. I guess I'll keep looking, or try and modify it myself in nifskope (hopefully I do better this time. I have a 0% success rate with clothing in nifskope).

I haven't checked, but Owned! may let you use the bed (and once granny is dead, it'll remove the karma loss for taking things...to the victor go the spoils. Or you could just buy the place out from under her, and charge her rent.

Is there a mod that makes "The Mechanist" a Compainion if you decide to become his Sidekick?

I hate how that he shuns me and tells me to go away after teaming up to beat the Antagonizer...

I loved his Adam West "My good chum" diologe!

I've tried Sharing and Caring Copanions, and while he continues to follow me after the quest is over, he refuses to talk to me, and thus I cannot get him to wait before dangerus areas, or heal him... I had to revert to another save... I'm assuming the same problem would occur with Companion Share and Recruit!

Not knowledgeable about this in the slightest, but have you ever tried making a clone of him using console commands and trying SCC on that?

Can anyone point me in the direction of a good, detailed recommended mod list?

Making a clone of him would have the same problem, since he refuses to speak to you after the quest has ended, so unless I use a console command to reset the quest...

And here's FO3 Nexus's top 100 mods of all time according to votes: http://www.fallout3nexus.com/downloads/top/alltime.php

There's other good mods out there so its worth browsing around!

Maybe. It doesn't seem like it'd be too hard for a modder interested/experienced in that sort of thing. You see people doing much bigger companion projects with a lot less.

And thanks, I hadn't really thought to look their because I assumed it would be the same stuff as usual, but it's changed quite a bit since I've stopped playing. Some interesting stuff, I'll check it out.

That mod works just fine. I own quite a lot of homes around the place. Plus new places become available instantly if, say, there's a riot in Rivet City Marketplace for example. You get an instant notification in the upper left-hand corner that a new property has just become available :laugh:
I do like that mod.

Top 100 and "a recommended good mods list" aren't really the same thing. There are many good and recommended mods that aren't in the top 100.
IMO the best place to start is http://www.gamesas.com/index.php?/topic/1056342-mezs-gameplay-and-immersion-mod-list/.

So I got FOOK 2 and well...I can't start my game up. It goes to menu and then just stops.

BUT, thats beside the point. I need a mod that adds weapons like FOOK does. Those weapons I REALLY do want.
