Wow, even for low res those screens look great :D

They are at 1280x768 which is my laptops native res. Everything is on high, and i have NMC's medium pack, not the highest res pack. Believe me it looks 100x better on my main rig!

Also, gonna give this a go tomorrow, as it seems to have slipped by unnoticed - Enhanced ENB series shaders

Also, you can't really tell form those screenshots because there are no before shots, but it looks much better with Taking Out The Trash on as well

Well I've put in some of the mods and it seems to be working ok so far from what I can see.

So far its Project Beauty, FWE, MMM, DC Interiors, EVE, Enhanced Weather, Dynamic Weather, DarUI, Fellout, GNR, CASM, Underground hideout, Bottle That Water, NMC, and Colour Detailed Map

Not the best of piccy's but it shows that something is working :p

 
One mod that i would definitely recommend is Conelrad Radio. There are some great custom radio stations made by modders, but Conelrad is the only one i listen to.
It adds loads of old 50's/60's music to the game as well as some real adverts and bulletins by famous people at the time such as Groucho Marx, Bob Hope etc.

No need to worry about Compatability or conflicts at all, as it only adds a radio station.

This mod adds a new radio station to your Pip-Boy 3000.

Hosted by Katrina, the station plays 55 music tracks from the era of the
Atomic Threat, including 29 authentic public service announcements from
Civil Defense Washington.

CONELRAD (Control of Electromagnetic [or Electronic] Radiation) was a method
of emergency broadcasting to the public of the United States in the event of
enemy attack. It was intended to serve two purposes; to prevent Soviet
bombers from homing in on American cities by using radio or TV stations as
beacons, and to provide essential civil defense information on 640-1240.

2 hours, 20 minutes of Music across 55 tracks
22 minutes of PSAs & Civil Defense
Custom station host dialogue

The station is fully scripted as per official stations.

I love this mod - http://www.fallout3nexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=6104

It also works on New Vegas
 
I'll have to try that radio station out, can never have too many of those ;)

Only have the 1st pack for GNR atm which gives 20 songs, have the other 80 still to get for that :D
 
Lmao Pighardia, what's with the black pixelated tree in Big Town? I haven't discovered Big Town yet but will be sure to install the mod when I come round to it.
I see you went hardcore with the needs mod too!

Oh yeah:D I didn't notice that. I wouldn't have taken the picture if i had, weird:confused:
It wouldn't be Fallout 3 without moments like that though:p

Big Town Overhaul is a great mod. Big Town is so disappointing when you get to the Vanilla version

I see you went hardcore with the needs mod too!

It must be done differently to the one in Fred's pic. He is using FWE which uses it's own needs plugin. I am using RI primary needs which is a standalone. With my one, the higher the percentage the better. I imagine it is the other way round with FWE (i hope so or you are in trouble Fred!:p)

I've never even used the radio in-game... might have to try it!

I'll add the Big Town mod before I get there too.

Not sure how you guys manage without the support of a robot - the areas around Rivet city are swarming with big scary things!

Everyone outside Rivet City has been killed in my game:eek:

There were 3 caravans and a few wasteland people added by Crowded Cities!

Part of the Vault 101 revisited mod has you being attacked just outside Rivet City, so it might have happened there.

I will probably revive them through the console and then use the mod that makes Caravans Essential. Or tougher traders which makes Caravans much harder, but can still be killed.

Is your game any better Bleek?

I might mean Capital Hill, is that adjacent to Rivet City?

It's littered with hordes or mutants and rebels fighting each other, literally 100+ in the past hour I played, inside and out!

My game still freezes every minute even with the mods for the extra cores and memory. I disabled vsync to see if that helped, it didn't. :(

Are all those followers part of the vanilla game? I don't have any but have vague recollections of some guy from Megaton being a follower when I first played back in 2009. Not sure where he went, but I have picked the saved game up from then... talk about revisiting a past game! :D

Oh god yeah, the Capitol building. Don't go near there unless you are ready for an epic fight! Talon Company vs Super Mutants vs Brotherhood of Steel.

Using BOS patrols adds a bit to that area as it turns it into a great battle. Also there is a Super Mutant Behemoth inside the building.

Speaking of Epic battles, i have this mod installed Battle outside Bethesda Ruins. It adds a MASSIVE battle between the Brotherhood of Steel and the Enclave. There are upwards of 50 NPC's all battling eachother. I get low FPS, but standing on a hill watching it is brilliant!:D
Especially with the explosions going off with EVE enabled

Nice one. What did you go for?
Click to expand...

So far I've gone for the hi res map, fook2, dui, and the nmc textures.
I'm going to try the game right now to see if it works, this is what my load order looks like:



I hope it works!

EDIT: In fo3 I right clicked fallou3.esm and clicked check for errors, it gave me about a thousand of them :p

Looks good.
Should all work fine, there are certainly no more plugns needed

It is definitely the best tactic to start with an overhaul/graphics mods, then play it a bit and build from there
