This guide is aimed at people who want to get more out of their Fallout 3 experience. This is no easy thing, so be prepared for some technical stuff along the road, but it is doable for anyone who is eager to learn.
Even though it is a classic, Fallout 3 does have its flaws: it is notoriously difficult to get it running more or less stable on Windows 7, 8 and Since I've been looking at a lot of guides and posts on how to install Fallout 3 properly, and on how to fix and tweak it, I've decided to write a Steam guide of my own on it. Keep in mind that I only did all this on a Windows 7 pc - I am afraid I am not familiar with Windows 8 or Windows 10 yet. I know there are lots of guides on this subject already available, so why write another one?
Well, first of all: I have already done this for myself. I always keep track of any mods installed, used, played or rejected, so I have the basic notes already here. Secondly: I like to share my knowledge, and the things I find out, with fellow gamers.
Also, I noted several of my Steam friends thought the idea of a new guide on Fallout 3 to be a good one, and they told me it definitely would be useful. And thirdly: several of the guides, or even of the tutorials and series dedicated to modding Fallout 3 out there, date from a couple of years ago.
This is true for the great series of tutorials on "Modding Fallout 3" by Gopher on his YouTube channel. What he tells and explains is excellent, but some of the mods he mentions have been reworked, repatched, or even removed since then. Especially the way the mods interact with other and need to be configured properly in order to work together, has undergone major revisions and improvements the past years.
I will be referring to several of Gophers video's, so be sure to check out his YouTube channel. Another really well done series of tutorials - and very much up-to-date - are the video's made by Xuul on his YouTube channel. These are excellent as well and I do recommend these highly since they are very much to-the-point and accessible for anyone with an average pc knowledge. At the current version updated december , the guide has reached its final state.
This means that I've discussed the majority of the mods I have been using myself. Now that Fallout 4 has appeared on the scene, almost all of the modding activity has turned towards that game, an new mods for Fallout 3 are few, which is not to say there aren't any. But I do want to keep the adventure of modding the Capital Wasteland alive, since it is a lot of fun to do, and I plan to play through the game a third and final time next year, using a different set-up switching to Mod Organizer and a completely different character build.

Minor but interesting mods. Fallout 3 is a classic game. While the engine is well up to the task of depicting a barren, war- and destruction-ridden Capital Wasteland, it also had and still has an awful lot of flaws and problems, mainly with regard to stability.
So, now in , we are looking at a 7-year old game using a year old engine. That seems pretty stupid, since there were some exceptionally fine open-world rpg's released since then.
However, Fallout 3 is such an immersive game, that it still holds its own, mainly thanks to the amazing number of mods that were released for it. These mods manage to completely transform the game from a rather outdated looking and sometimes even repetitive game into a fantastic gaming experience. But it's not all bliss: this experience does not come by itself. Anyone wanting to get the "full", up-to-date Fallout 3 -experience, has to be willing to invest time into learning how to fix, tweak and mod this game.
And this is what this guide is all about. Don't look or hope for an easy ride here. Tweaking and modding Fallout 3 is no easy, quick thing. It demands time, and some dedication to the job. There will be hiccups along the road, and some grinding of teeth. But I can assure you: the feeling of satisfaction once you have the game up and running, as stable as possible and with some dozens of mods installed, was unmatched for me in my long gaming career.
Yes, I am proud that I have persevered and learned how to "tame" this game, and bend it to my liking. And it is this feeling that I gladly want to share with my awesome Steam Friends and with this great Steam Community.
This guide is aimed at people with a fairly good knowledge of their pc, the setup of their Steam games, and of how to make archives using programs like WinRar of 7zip and how to extract them to whatever location wanted. Knowledge such as this is essential for any real modding, so please go and find out about this if you need to — there are lots of excellent tutorials on YouTube for both WinRar and 7Zip.
I will refer regularly to the great series of tutorials on Modding Fallout 3 by Gopher on his YouTube channel. Please go and watch these as well, whenever I refer to them, or simply whenever you just feel like it. No one describes as detailed and yet perfectly understandable the ins and outs of Bethesda games like Gopher. However, since the tutorials for Fallout 3 were made back in or , they are partly outdated. Moreover, the series is not as comprehensive as his famous Skyrim Mod Sanctuary , which together with the Beginner's Guide to Modding Skyrim and Skylight offers a near perfect and very extensive approach to modding Skyrim.
Another very useful series of great video's on the subject is the one by Xuul on his YouTube channel. Sorry, but trophies only become available for Fallout 3 on the PS3 system if you purchased the Game of the Year edition. Definitely Fallout 3. Prototype is a great game, but the graphics and the length of the story line are no match for those of Fallout 3.
Plus, if you have the PC version you can download tons of free mods, quests, and buy download able contents which are made by Bethesda itself! Warning, if you don't like fps or rpg games.. Then Prototype might be a better game for you. Update your mods, update your Fallout 3 application with the latest patch, and make sure you installed your mods correctly. An exclamation mark usually means you have a missing texture or that there is an error in the bsa file.
Go to Playstation store and buy them, then download of them as soon as you buy them. Then install it Its under the game menu Read More. You have to download the mods from the internet onto a flash drive and download the mods to the game you got them for. Check in the PlayStation store online. Download games for windows software,copy saves to differant location I have Fallout 3 for PS3 and it is pretty reliable.
I have not run into many glitches at all. Maybe 3 at most and I have had it for a year and a half. But all of the glitches you come across are easily solved just by restarting the game. I recommend it for PS3 if that is what you are buying it for.
If you have Xbox live. Maps on halo 3 for mods. I recommend planet mod. If you are asking for an X version, it is not possible. But for the PC if you go to where it is installed you will find a folder called Data, put your mods in there. You have to go on playstation store then either type in search box fallout 3 or go on A-Z. Sorry, but there aren't any 'cheats' in Fallout 3. There are, however mods for the PC version but that is all. Also, there are glitches to get more caps and such that can be counted as cheats if you want.
