Hey guys, I have a mod wishlist and I hope you can be my post-apocalyptic Santa.

FWE, MMM, Project Beauty, EVE, WMK, Dynamic Weathr, Enhanced Weather, too many quest mods to list (thought I'm pretty sure these don't usually conflict with other mods), Streetlights, FO3 HD Music Overhaul, Ambient Wasteland, DC Interiors, Ultimate Perk Pack, a few home/hideout mods, Blackwolf Backpack, Dogmeat Leather Armor, Caravan Tracking, Pipboy Readius

I'm also looking for reccomendations on a pipboy light, any nifty map mods, a mod that will make my followers immortal and other nifty mods.

Those are all I can think of for now. As you can probably tell my goals are to add a lot of new content, perform a graphical overhaul and have the option to tweak gameplay on the fly.

I'm looking for load order tips, your knowledge on any glaring issues I could be heading into and any recommendations you have to help me reach my goals.

http://www.fallout3nexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=10740 Haven't tried it yet but it looks good. More customization than above.

Also, probably not needed to be said but DarNified UI is essential.

General advice of which you may already be aware:

Read everything! Particularly the FWE info as it contains advice re general load orders. https://sites.google.com/site/fo3wanderersedition/home is the online guide.

Make your own merged patch!

Use MasterUpdate and learn about FO3Edit.

Probably a good idea to learn about WryeFlash... I haven't yet, but my mod list- FWE/MMM/EVE/WMK + minor stuff- is somewhat short and a merged patch seems to be enough.

Add things as slowly as you can bare, then, once everything appears to be working, start a new game.

In my experience a crash here and there is inevitable, so expect it... maybe you'll be pleasantly surprised!
