            All of my mods require 
       Permanent dead by Defox
      ...If one can not die, how can one live?

   In the download's section of this webpage
             I offer 5 Mods.

   Combined... these 5 unassuming downloads form
  the horrible body of an unfathomable astral entity
    who's name is so vile and horrendous
    that for now we'll call it 

           GHOULS ONLY

INSTALLATION

Nearly Essential Optionals

Zombie Apocalypse Survival Sim:      Permanent dead by Defox [This mod is the core of the entire experience, but is not "technically" required]
Zombie Apocalypse Menu Screens:    zombie apocalypse themed menu and loading screens by InFrost
Zombie Apocalypse Music Overhaul:  Digital Nightmare - Music by NeptuneUK   (Don't download the optional main menu music) 
Zombie Apocalypse Silent Hill Mist:   TheOutbreaks Wasteland Moods Series by TheOutbreak (Anthology DL, Silent Hell esp ONLY)
BurnCorpsesWithZippo+FlamerFuel:   Burn The Body by gh0stwizard.        

Main Installation


Simply extract any (GhoulsOnly) Mods to your Fallout3 Folder in the correct order detailed below
                                                           (your Fallout3 folder is the folder where the fallout3.exe is located)

1st  Install Mart's Mutant Mod by Martigen. (If you use FWE, install FWE before MMM)
2nd (optional) Install MMM Plus by Nebusoku Tokage. It requires MMM + all 5 DLC. 
3rd (optional)  Install MMM Plus (GhoulsOnly). Overwrite MMM -Plus.esm with the MMM -Plus.esm from GhoulsOnly.
4th (optional)  Install Imperfection by DeathclawAlpha and CIB. It requires Broken Steel.
5th (optional)  Install Imperfection (GhoulsOnly). Overwrite Imperfection.esm with the Imperfection.esm from GhoulsOnly.
6th Install MMM (Ghouls Only) Version of your choice. Choose one of the 4 versions available to suit your load order and overwrite MMM's esm and esp.
7th  Install Zombie Apocalypse (GhoulsOnly). It requires any version of MMM.esm (as long as it retains its ghoul variation creature files).
8th  Install Ghoul Overhaul (GhoulsOnly). It requires ThePitt, BrokenSteel, & PointLookout.

Now all of my mods should be functioning in unison.
Marts Mutant Mod, MMM Plus, and Imperfection should add new ghouls to the wasteland.
Zombie Apocalypse should spawn zombie MMM ghouls around you using a script. 
Ghoul Overhaul should convert most vanilla creatures into ghouls.

The effect is an alternate vision of the wasteland.
The wasteland will be smothered by infected ghouls.
Imagine the zombie infection is a result of a mutation in the ghoul disease.
Once attacked by a zombie, even sane ghouls can be infected with the virus.
The virus causes a rapid deterioration of the flesh and mind, similar to going feral.
A feral ghoul can not turn into a zombie, but will be attacked by zombie ghouls.
An infected ghoul or human will turn into a zombie within a minute, or once they die.
Some humans are immune to the virus, including the lone wanderer.
Those who are susceptible to the virus, have a chance to be infected each time a zombie makes physical contact.
Raiders in the wasteland  will likely be fending off zombie attacks when you approach them.
Caravan troupes are among the strongest survivors in the wasteland.
You will respect their struggle should you attempt traveling.
If you aren't a psycho-fueled neo-knight with a super sledge and power armor,
don't expect to survive a stroll down the block without dedicated tactics.
You may even encounter glowing zombies at higher levels.
Everyday you should be struggling to afford enough money to mend your own broken limbs
after your last journey into the wastes to scavenge food.
Monitoring your daily needs becomes a journey, knowing death is always around the corner.
Or just outside the door.
Zombies also might follow you indoors.
Could be one or two, could be a whole pack.

Details: a sprint mod is essential
Details: a permanent death mod is essential. This is a survival horror game. You aren't struggling to survive if you are safe behind your last save.
Details: Melee is essential to killing zombies. You will waste your precious ammo on zombies, save your bullets for raiders. 
Details: If you don't want to use melee, GOOD LUCK. You will need to sprint and hide, duck and weave, to navigate the wastes.

 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

                                An Installation Order that I Recommend to masochists

                                           and Mod Recommendations
                               to improve your Ghoul Apocalypse experience

                 (All mods can be found on nexus unless otherwise stated. Google them.)

-Basics i wont discuss details of: use FOSE.
-Basics i wont discuss details of: install any mod that adds a "FOSE/plugin" folder manually.
-Basics i wont discuss details of: use ENBoost.
-Basics i wont discuss details of: configure your Fallout.ini with the popular tips...

Read this even if you have seen it all,
you will enhance your zombie experience....
All of my recommended mods are lore friendly
and unified in their intent to improve a dark GHOUL APOCALYPSE theme.
Also, I have included many important PERFORMANCE Mods
 that are sadly underrated compared to other mods that are far less effective at boosting performance.

                                                      INSTALL ORDER  Guide                                                                                                                                       


FOSE

  FOSE Plugins should be installed manually...
  IN "C:.../Fallout3/data", create a folder called "FOSE".
  IN the FOSE folder, create another folder called "plugins". 
 Drop all of your 'FOSEPlugin.dll's and associated 'FOSEPlugin.ini's in "C:.../Fallout3/data/FOSE/plugins".

I recommend these FOSE Plugin files: 
       FOSE_EnhancedCamera.dll          Allows u to see your 3rdP body/arms in 1stP.
       FOSE_EnhancedCamera.ini         (tweak this to adjust the immersivefirstpersoncamera) 
       OneTweak.dll                              Allows u to play in fake full screen mode. 
       OneTweak.ini                             (leave as is) 
       sr_Fallout_Stutter_Remover.dll    Increases performance. 
       sr_Fallout_Stutter_Remover.ini   (leave as is)   
       ui_organizer.dll                           Allows u to use Pipboy replacer mods cleanly.


1st: Texture Replacers

 -Fallout 3 Textures Optimized by Worriedwalrus.                      A texture replacer that increases performance 
 -HD Mist by Ramcoid. 2K Version.                                                  Nicer mist, use only if you use a mist mod, like "Silent Hell" weather mod.
 -zombie apocalypse themed menu and loading screens by InFrost.            Zombie Apocalypse Themed Menu Screens
 -Digital Nightmare - Music by NeptuneUK.                                        Dark Music Overhaul. Don't download the optional main menu song, it sucks.
                                                                                                                                   The main download includes a better main menu song. 

2nd: Performance Mods

-Fallout 3 Redone by BATTERup646.          Increases performance by removing clutter, dust, and other things u wont notice.
-Rooses Performance Mod by rooseisback.    It greatly improves performance by disabling small rocks. ESSENTIAL.
-Purge Cell Buffers by Quarn.                                         It increases performance in a smart way, requires FOSE.
-Glowing muck pools by Jet4571.                                              They're creepy. Install here in case they are disabled by the performance mods.
-Unofficial Fallout 3 Patch by BenWah, HairLegs, & prisoner416    This mod fixes bugs, but the ESM gets overwritten by mods like MMM.                                                                                                                           (Patch them with FO3Edit. All my mods are patched)

-More 2 Megaton by MDCowdy.                                    Adds immersive stores, voice acted, improves the atmosphere of megaton. ESSENTIAL
-Realistic Megaton Shack by 6IX.                             overhauls the megaton house, and buying options, making the experience more immersive.


4th: All Minor or Self-Contained Mods 
-100 Repair Moira by SColla.                         Simple and effective. Allows Moira to repair our gear to 100%. 
-Purchase the Tenpenny Suite by Tommo120.     Simple and effective. Allows you to buy Tenpenny suit for 5000 caps.

                                                                                         (I use this chest to add any items i want to access easily into, using FO3edit)

-Multiple Power Armor Training plus by Chai.     Simple, effective, and immersive. Wear power armor without doing the main quest-line.
-Burn The Body by gh0stwizard.                      BURN THOSE ZOMBIE CORPSES LYING EVERYWHERE WITH A ZIPPO AND FLAMER FUEL!

5th: MAJOR GAME-PLAY MODS  (FYI: NO EVE. NO WeaponModKits. I recommend playing a melee character with PermaDeath only.) 
-FWE by the FWE Team              Essential Gameplay Overhaul. Tweak to your liking in game. 
-AlternateStart Roleplayers       NOTE: One of my mods stops FWE'S ALTERNATE START from working. Vanilla Intro still works.
  ( Not Available on Nexus...     D.L this mod here: http://games.softpedia.com/get/Mods-Addons/Fallout-3-Mod-Alternate-Start-Roleplayers.shtml ) 
-MMM by Martigen                     You can use mine or the original, install it in the same place. 
-Imperfection.                      You can use mine, or the original, install in the same place. 
-MMM Plus.                          Only use mine in this load order. The original is broken.  
-ZombieApocalypse by FoxtrotZulu + ME.       Use mine or the original, no longer on nexus. The original spawns 1 zombie texture,                         
                                                             mine spawns 9 unique textures from MMM ghouls. This gives needed variety to zombies. 
-GhoulOverhaul by ME.          A mod I created by compiling all of the various "CreatureToGhoul" mods into one ESP. Works well.


6th: Companion Mods 
-Claw - Deathclaw Companion by Loxy.    A Deathclaw companion. Sometimes he flies. Heal him with stimpacks. Set his home. Set his scale in Fo3edit.
-Brisa Almodovar by RickerHK.       The best scripted companion. Voice acted. Her lines leave much to the imagination, good for any role-play.


7th: Other Gameplay Changing Mods
-Realistic Stealth Overhaul RSO by retakrew7.     Use this, and no other stealth mods. This is the ONE, also RKR is included in FWE and is compatible. 


8th: Animation Mods 
-Player Animations Food & Drink FWE by BlueBell.   Adds immersive third person player animations for consuming items.
-Ultimate Perk Pack by TheFakeEmpire.              (ONLY experience, pack 1 & 2, + quest perks WORK. Beverage perks overwrite fwe & drink animations)

-PipBoyReadius by Alexscorpion & Brianide.       Removes Pipboy arm + glove. New PDA Pipboy Screen is organized way better. 
-Pipboy or Readius Dispays 2x Faster by Ruska.    Increases the speed of the opening and closing animation for the pipboy readius. 
-PipBoyReadius Punisher texture.                       This adds a Punisher skull to your pipboy to remind you every time you waste a stimpack
                                                                       that some idiot convinced you to play with that Permanent dead mod by Defox. 


9th: Weather and Lighting Overhaul Mods 
-Realistic Interior Lighting by Scarecrow.                            ESSENTIAL. Improves darkness in interiors.
-Wasteland Moods Series by TheOutbreak; SilentHell ESP.    ESSENTIAL. Improves performance. Improves dark fantasy atmosphere like nothing else.


 10th: Hardcore Mode 
Meaningful Death by jumpjet555.   This mod makes the moment when you finally die more memorable with a meaningful eulogy.
Permanent dead by Defox .          ESSENTIAL. ESSENTIAL. ESSENTIAL. ESSENTIAL. ESSENTIAL. ESSENTIAL. ESSENTIAL. ESSENTIAL.
                                               This mod disables console. It auto-saves every few seconds. When you die, your save is demolished. Gone.
                                                Note... If you are hesitant to use this because you get "stuck on rocks sometimes"....
                                                           surely you can find a mod to get unstuck without using the console...
                                                           Example: Brisa Almodovar  gives you an ITEM that you can use to TELEPORT to her.
                                                                         She even seeks you out the moment you install her and GIVES YOU THIS ITEM.
                                    Have fun !!!!!!!!!!!           
                             PS. Set your endurance to 10.
                Use FO3Edit to stash yourself some strong equipment.
                You will need it.
                Use the Chest outside of Moira's added by the Scarf mod to stash your stuff.
                When you spawn, RUN TO MEGATON. DO NOT STOP.

    I highly suggest starting a new game with my mods.
    This is why I give you the full load order, so you can fully renovate your Mod List before starting a new file.

          Just think, after all the hard work, your game will finally be an unforgiving and terrifying ghoul infested paradise.
