Just picked up Fallout 3 GOTY Edition on Steam the other day, since I never tried the expansions, and haven't played it in years. Never got into modding it back in the day, either, but I want to now. Which ones should I really check out?

As we announced earlier this week.

Also, everyone always says Fellout, so I was looking on the nexus site at that, but I'm a little confused. There seems to be a bunch of 'optional' files for different versions of Fellout.

Which ones do I need? Just got Fallout 3 GOTY Edition on Steam, so it has all the DLC/expansions, and is the latest version. I don't have the DLCs activated right now, though.

I used to look through the Nexus for good FO3 mods, but I never did get the PC version of it. I spent so much time on the PS3 version I'm burned out on it, though I did make a nice list of mods I thought would REALLY improve the hell out of the game.If you haven't already, then the Nexus top 100 has a superb list of mods, and the mod manager (which is number 1) is a no brainer.

Ok as far as essentail goes its a matter of personal prefrence.

But once you have completed the main story arc, there is a great mod out there that feels like DLC. (ALL dlc required i think).

Its called mothership zeta crew. Has lots of adons for it also. It is one of the best mods I have ever played and almost feels like it could be its own game. Has a great story line also.

Note: the story line was not finished at the time i played it, unsure if it ever got finished but i know its still being worked on from reading on the nexus. Just some quick info about it, it adds a new faction to the game and you get to be in charge of your own spaceship/army. Sorta like an exspansion to mothership zeta dlc. Never the less its a must have for me. Did i mention you get to ride around in your own mini ship? (not fly, ride.

Just like the vertibirds, think thats what they were called.)/End mini wall of text. NMC's textures are a must coulyI downloaded NMC's textures, but I'm not sure if they're installed right. Got the performance version of the Fallout Nexus, and it came in 2 zip files, and said to rename them both, and then only unzip the first one, into the data folder. I did that, and it unzipped a whole bunch of stuff, into the textures folder, but I'm not sure if I'm seeing any difference. Maybe I'm just not seeing it well because I also just installed Fellout, so the lighting is all different. Is the performance version not much of an upgrade? Should I try to full version?
