    Hi everyone, long time no see! It's amazing to hear from folks still playing Alton so many years later. It truly means the world that you all have stuck around this long.

    If you enjoyed Alton, IL, check out my WIP Fallout 4 project. Five years in the making, A Better World tells the story of two women on the run from the Institute: Jo and Liz, and their mission to create a better, safer world. Click the image to go to the forum page!

      every time I roll across this mod it shocks me. I grew up in Illinois and my dads home was right next to it. Always think of the pisa bird when I hear Alton. consider creating that monstrosity of a monster and this dlc mod will be spot on.

    Mother of mothers, so many negative Nancy's giving stone cold facts. Hope this creator has time to face-lift this mod and deal with other mod conflicts like alternate starts?

    Thanks for this, clearly a work of labor & love. Still relevant & enjoyable in 2025 (albeit with some added extras). Kudos & endorsements.

    Super mod! Worked pretty well and without any problems since I play Fo3 steam version on win 10.

    Yeah I´m back with Fo3 again and have to admit steam did a very good job!

      I have the same issue, if I reload the autosave I can move around but the quest is still stuck.

      i found a work around
      i had to used console command kill on the 4 wastelanders kneeling to kill them, this will make stephen start walking toward you and the quest well continue as normal
      if stephen is still standing there then used the kill command on him which knocks him unconscious and when he wakes up he should start walking toward you
      also if you try to highlight stephen or the wastelanders and get FXSmokeWispsLgVo101 instead type disable to remove it and you should be able to highlight them

      managed to get around the issue just by reloading autosave at belleview which meant i could move around and then speaking to the plague leader guy directly without the villagers needing to die first but then once i'm in the cell afterwards i hear the plague guard guy getting shot outside but the guy from the beginning doesn't come to rescue me so still stuck, any ideas? pretty sure this mod worked with unofficial patch in the past

    So how the hell do you start this mod? No information whatsoever is given.

    Seconding the issues others have had with various bits of the plot being broken. Belleview just sticks you in place, after getting shoved in prison your savior never shows up, late-campaign quests randomly starting early on... something is clearly very busted here and I ain't smart enough to know what. It's a damn shame, the mod as far as I was able to experience it is rather fun and well-crafted.

    Almost none of the scripts trigger and I can’t figure out why. Too bad, this was pretty fun up until the point I couldn’t progress any further from the second time you get captured.

    So I went to school in Edwardsville (SIUe) and this mod makes me so happy. I didn't know anyone knew Alton existed haha
