I am getting a new PC tomorrow and Fallout 3 GOTY for it. Now I have played it for the 360 nonstop since its release but I now that Im getting it for the PC I want to look into some mods. Can anymore recommend me some mods I am looking for mods that do the following.

A mod that adds more choices in houses other than the Ten Penny Suite or Megaton.
A mod that adds more to being a part of Reily's Ranger or adds another Mercenary Faction.
A mod that adds more weapons.
A mod that adds more creatures. (Marts Mutant Mod any good?)
Or just list some of your personal favorite mods that are worth checking out. (Or just shamelessly plug your own mods :tops: )

I really enjoy my http://www.fallout3nexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=8682 mod. It seems the creatures respawn, but the continers remain empty. This fixes this with a 'scripted' solution so not all containers are always replenished, and locked containers are relocked.

And then there is my http://www.fallout3nexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=1770 that has so many options, it will make your head spin. :lmao: But really, it can be a cheat or an easy way to level up your characters for testing or in case you lost yours to a hard drive fail. It also features vanilla game item automatic sorters.

I also like http://www.gamesas.com/bgsforums/index.php?showtopic=1063937&hl= for the improvements to the menu system.

Marts Mutant Mod is good for more creatures.
For more weapons i got Classic Fallout Weapons but i heard weapons of the 20th century's also good.
And i personally like destruction.
For houses u can try and type in houses on fallout3nexus.com.
same for factions.

House wise, one can look into this old topic, http://www.gamesas.com/bgsforums/index.php?showtopic=1066547, and this list here: http://fallout3houses.wordpress.com/

http://www.fallout3nexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=6068 expand on the base.

Marts Mutant Mod is great, in my opinion.

I use http://www.fallout3nexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=5059 with http://www.fallout3nexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=2307, both add a heck load of weapons to use.

One of my favorite is http://www.fallout3nexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=1418. SOOO much more songs added into the radio. Very entertaining.

I like http://www.fallout3nexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=10921 It limits the amount of ammo you can carry. By dropping the excess ammo.

My soon to be released Skill Capper will cap your skills based on your specials. That's a nice one.

I like FWE, it adds weapons, but also makes the game much harder, but lots more fun. It also adds other things
Weapon mods kit, while not adding "weapons" per say, you can make custom ones, and its fully compatible with FWE as far as I can tell.

Fairfax apartment for a house, its in the fair fax ruins between megaton and the outcast owned building.
MMM is great, I remember it used to play havoc with my PC before I went to Vista 64 bit, 8 gigs of DDR2 ( from 2 ) as well as a XFX 4870 ( from a Nvidia 8800GS 250MB ) when I had ++ spawns and the works turned on.

MMM makes all kinds of monsters, some taller, some shorter. lots of options.

I love felout, its makes all the green sky and water blue, and makes the game much better looking IMO, green world was pretty good last time I checked it out too!

As for the rangers? I am sure there is something out there, but I my self am easing back into the game, and once I get the feel of it again, I am going to add more mods than I have right now

FWE / WMK / MMM / Felout / Darn's U.I mod ( a must have )

Well, Princess_stomper is pretty good. Mmmm, Milt is alright as well, but we hardly ever see him. Technically Gstaff is an admin, but we see him/her/them around once in a while. Hope this helps

Sigh...

Anyways, Classic Fallout Weapons is a nice one. EVE is really good.

If you like luxury, check out Chekov's Place for a nice player home atop Tenpenny Tower. I also have some recomended mods on the website as well.

Well if you want houses, check out mine
Just search for my newest one "SimpleHideout" on F03Nexus
Weapons: Try ahzteks weapons, they are cool!
And Mary Mutant mod is a good choice too

Umm...

Shameless Plug?

:P

I made the same transition to the PC after playing on the 360 and these are of few of my favorites:

1. MMM; so much fun. Night ghouls are my fav. I don't play without it.
2. If you like Energy Weapons EVE is great. I almost have to say it's a must.
3. If you would like a change of scenery I recommend Greenerworld. It adds trees and some grass. Not Oblivion greenery at all. Another one I've added to my list and don't play without.
4. Houses are tough. I feel like I've DL'd and tried all of them (of course I haven't but I have tried a lot of them). I like Rowen's Personal Vault (the one in Megaton) the most right now. There are a lot of great options. I'm constrained because I play with companions and want mods that work with them.
5. DC Interiors Project. It opens up a lot of buildings that were previously unexplorable in districts in DC. It's excellent.
6. Oh, and make sure to get FOMM (Fallout Mod Manager).

ehh....?

FOOK2 google epic... it's a gig of just weapons

Martigens Monster Mod epic.. it's 400 megs of new enemies.

Weapon Mod Kits

DK bullet time....

Sprint Mod

Enclave commander (some issues with Fook2, but freaking epic when you have 10 of your guys battling 50 ghouls.)

... hmnnn.. there's a lot .....
as far as homes, I haven't found one I like ....

EDIT

but make sure you get Fallout Script Extender
Fallout Mod Manager
and FO3 edit....

And get ready to read a bunch....

These are the must have mods
Darn ui
Destruction
DC Interiors
Enhanced Weather + Weather Overhauls (depends on your choice)

And for gameplay overhauls theres fook2 or FWE
But personally i suggest FWE+MMM+EVE+WMK combo,
And after you get into the game and finish the main quest, try out enclave commander, its awesome

Now to answer your question


1. Browse through http://www.fallout3nexus.com/downloads/cat.php?id=72&page=1 untill you get one that suites you
2. http://www.fallout3nexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=5731 or http://www.fallout3nexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=6068
3. Classic fallout weapons, fook2, 20th century weapons
4. Marts mutant mod

regarding the destruction mod, if your talking about http://www.fallout3nexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=1904 be carefull with that one, ive managed to blow up exterior load doors with it and its a pain to get em back (if you dont have a proper save before doing it)

For some sci-fi visual goodness check out EVE which makes energy weapons feel sixy futuristic along with some cool optional music- http://www.fallout3nexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=8340

FOOK2 + Fellout + EVE + WMK + your own taste in additions.

Hit Fallout3Nexus' top 100 and go nuts.

I like MMM, but it has the annoying tendency to be very unstable and cause a lot of crashes. If it works for you, use it.

You also need FOSE. No ifs, no buts.
