New Player, what mods should I get?

Post by **Xariez** » Thu Aug 27, 2015 1:26 pm

Hello everyone!

My name is Xariez, and with the anticipation of Fallout 4 I have started looking around to getting some of the previous Fallout games, specifically Fallout 3 and New Vegas. First I was plotting on just getting NV, but when discovering this mod i also started looking onto Fallout 3. Now, while this is NOT a topic asking "How do i install TTW" or such, since thats the part I am the least thinking of right know, it IS a post asking what mods I should get, as you probably already know by the title.

Getting to it however, what mods should I get? If theres anyone that will reply to this, please keep in mind that if i do get the game, I will be having the Ultimate edition and GOTY, thus all DLC's as far as I know, but I'd also prefer mods that work with TTW, as thats why I am here.

Any mods will really do it as long as they are good and i find interest in them, graphic mods, mods "refining" other parts of the game, any.

EDIT: So I kind of found this little FAQ section with mods. Replies are still welcome, but quite sure I will follow that a bunch.

Regards,

Xariez

The FAQ, and this post: https://taleoftwowastelands.com/content/directory-ttw-converted-mods should help you get started

Since mods are a highly individual thing, it depends a lot on what you want in your game.

For me, when I mod a TTW installation, I almost always install all of these:

NMC's texture packs (Roy has a thread for a cleanup script, or you can just use them as is)

Type 3 and Breeze body meshes/textures (see the FAQ for how to install)

Fellout (my prefered weather mod but there are many)

TTW streetlights (needed due to Fellout's darker nights)

MTUI (simple UI improvements)

WMX with TTW patch

EVE with TTW patch

Project Nevada with TTW patch

And then if I'm feeling like a lot more mods, I hit some of the other big ones like Vurt's, Classic Fallout Weapons (CFW), Nevada Skies TTW edition, AWOP etc.

Right so, I thought this was going to be the post that I posted, realise it was a rather dumb question, reverted back to the FAQ then relied on that, with one or two replies. I am having a great experience this far and I looked mostly into the mods said by thermador, but i will have a look at the others. I really did not expect this amount of replies and, afterall, help, and I appreciate that a lot! As I said in the OP, replies are still welcome, but as of right now I do believe I have the mods I am looking for. This far, at least.

my recommendation would be play fallout 1 and 2 they are easily better than 3 and nv 3 and nv are still fun but they cant touch fallout 2 in writing story plot comedy gameplay really anything 1 and 2 are true rpgs fallout 3 had so many plot holes its not even funny
