About this image

Did some modding of Megaton, combo of a few mods out there for it, going to have to do some editing on the walls and roof, but other than that it's quite nice.

    OK here is a link to some more pics, this is after I corrected the room, path issues, added in a few more megaton based mods.

    Photobucket Link: http://s402.photobucket.com/user/Mst3krocks/library/Fallout%203/Megaton?sort=3&page=1

    Mods now added are:
    1. Megaton Lighting Overhaul - http://fallout3.nexusmods.com/mods/7875//?
    2. Megaton Park - http://fallout3.nexusmods.com/mods/11710//?
    3. Expanded Megaton House V3 - http://fallout3.nexusmods.com/mods/2136//?
    4. Megaton House Expansion Mod Final - http://fallout3.nexusmods.com/mods/1320//?

    1. Provides light sources to all the signs that have light, for some reason vanilla did not do this.
    2. Megaton Park I would only recommend AFTER saving the town, it brings in some trees and turns the bomb into a bomb monument essentially. The bomb monument is still able to be used before blowing up or saving the town, but it just looks odd in lore perspective. It's easy to say that after you save the city they remove it and place it with a monument\mock bomb in it's place.
    3. Adds a 3rd floor and balcony, I had to look for house mods that wouldn't change the size of the home unless it went up, due tot he EMM mod and the tons of stuff now below your home.
    4. About the only basement mod that had the door well placed to match the connecting structures below the home, but not expand the bottom of the home at the same time. It makes "sense" in a physical standpoint when you look at where the door is inside and how it can lead to a "basement" outside. Essentially the door wouldn't lead to blank space outside.

    That roof is well cool! Did you make that or is it from another mod?

      It's from a mod, but I am using the feng shui mod to move and add to the roof.

      List of mods are:

      1. EMM - Expanding Megaton Mod: http://fallout3.nexusmods.com/mods/8556//?
      2: Toastys Rooved Megaton: http://fallout3.nexusmods.com/mods/7916//?
      3. NPCs Travel: http://fallout3.nexusmods.com/mods/19587//?

      1. Is to expand Megaton into a full, cramped like city.
      2. Well for the roof derp.
      3. This mod expands to the whole game, but it adds a lot of NPCs to all the cities and works well with the expanded megaton mod. Roughly 60~ NPCs about in the outdoor areas and normally boosts the insides by 5-10 (Depends on size of the rooms).

      A warning: The roof mod is a bit crude, and will not match up with the expanded megaton mod, it was meant for the normal sized megaton. If you are not a modder or don't like going through the GECK, I would recommend the Feng Shui mod (http://fallout3.nexusmods.com/mods/11532//?) and you can manually move the pieces around to fit better inside and out. It's what I did, took me about 20 minutes to get the parts like I wanted Inside. The outside roof is pretty crude and has holes at the base big enough to walk through, this is where Feng Shui really needs to be used (What I am currently fixing as I respond to this thread).

      EMM is cool, but I hate how the navmesh was never finished. Companions will not follow on the catwalk. Also I see you are using Skyrise right? Love that mod and still use it, but also another mod that was never finished. I do hope the author comes back to finish it or grants free permission to continue his work.

      I use in combination 2 mods for Megaton:

      Megaton Skyrise

      Megaton Underground

      to give Megaton more depth.

      With the Feng Shui mod I was able to fix all the issues actually. Nav Mesh seems to have been fixed when I re-arranged parts around so they didn't block the paths anymore.

    Oh and this picture was before I moved the roof parts around, will add another pic later with the updated moved around roof.

    I've always believed Bethesda missed out in making Megaton a bustling city center, now I'm finally getting around to fixing that lol.
