Tweaks and fixes for Fallout 3.

What this mod does:
This mod fixes & tweaks some things in Fallout 3 & it's DLCs to make the game a more detailed & coherent place as well as reduce the number of floating & clipping environmental objects.

How to install:
Open compressed folder.
Place BenTweaks.esp & BenTweaks.bsa into Fallout 3's data folder.
Then activate the .esp using a mod manager or Fallout 3's data files option.

Note on load order in general:
Load order all depends on what plugin you trust more.
Plugins near the bottom of the load order will override those above.

Compatibility:


Notes & Fixes:

  • Bittercup Companion: This mod may conflict w/ Bittercup Companion mod. This is fixed simply by placing the Bittercup .esp above my BenTweaks.esp.
  • FWE: Makski experienced a conflict with FWE causing CTDs. The problem was solved when he placed my mod above FWE in his load order.
  • Purr4me has informed me that using FO3edit to clean BenTweaks results in many of the edits I've done in worldspaces to be reset, meaning that anything I deleted (such as trash) will reappear.

What the current version does:
(The newest changes are in teal.)
