Hey guys just recently this past summer, I finally got around to assembling my PC, I've played plenty of fallout on console but now with Fallout 4 coming I wanted to try to get into the swing of things and play some modded Fallout 3, one for fun and two to get used to modding when mods are available for Fallout 4.

Anyways downloading fallout 3 right now from steam, and wanted to know what the first steps should be? Should I get the mod manager from the nexus first?

First time playing around with files and such, so any input is appreciated or any helpful in depth videos to help me along.

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=149946772 should get you started with fixes and mods but...expect issues, even after all the fixes this game isn't and likely won't ever be stable.

Ok thank you, This is mainly for me to go nuts and get used to the game from pc controls and mods.
