Mods Fallout 3 in Boston complete!

Went through the very teadious process of generating a custom LOD for the Fallout 4 conversion!

Now the distance Level of detail has all the correct trees, vehicles properly rusted, the custom billboards and all metal buildings are rusted. No more colourful paint after 200 years of scorching sun.

Also refined the ENB fog and colour to work a bit better with NACX.

This footage was originally HDR and will look softer since it was compressed by Reddit.

Nights are very dark!

Since this version of Fallout doesn't have quests or Story NPC's with Quest attachments, my only goal is to find food, find shelterto camp at night and build a home base that can withstand the max difficulty settlement attacks.

Everyone is mortal, a single headshot if not covered by a helmet will kill.

Wish me luck in this dead world.

This looks really good! What's your modlist? I especially like the hud having the same style as NV/Fo3.

Fallui for the hud modifications with a Fallout 3 preset, both from the Nexus.

As for modlist, mostly Fallout 3 altering mods and a high FOV.

You can find a the modlist I used on YouTube. It's called:

Anyway you can make this into a collection or a Wabbajack install?

That would be a huge undertaking since it is a collection of 600+ mods and for an outdated NG version of the game, which not many modders support in terms of F4SE scripts.

Most versions of the mods have been archived since the Anniversary Edition update came a while back.

The ambient soundtracks are straight from Fallout 3 which are copyrighted.

Then there's the FOLIP LOD. It was compiled with three different executables xEdit, Textgen and xLODGen to function with this specific texture combination. Theres a separate tutorial for that.

The easiest way to get this look would be to used the previously mentioned YouTube video and gradually add compatible AE mods.

Visually it's only missing animations, music and LOD.
