What it does
This mod fixes errors and bugs in Fallout 3 + all DLCs. Cut content has been reviewed/restored only if fixable and able to blend into the game perfectly. The optional Goodies includes essential things I personally feel the game should have.

Other Thoughts
Before releasing v3.0 I backported Tale Of Two Wastelands fixes from scratch and revised everything v2.3.2 of this patch in comparison and tested everything I could think of along with some testers. Went through all the reported bugs in the bugs tab. Lots of help from Roy (TTW project lead) and endless hours of work from the Tale Of Two Wastelands team. Please go there when you have a chance and thank them for all the work they did. Roy, Kazo, Callen in particular I know did endless hours of work into what we have here. I only encountered 3 random crashes into the entire testing playthrough which I couldn't reproduce. This is extremely impressive compared from when I used to play FO3 encountering crashes constantly. Please enjoy and be fortunate of everything that's put into this.

Important Note
You don't need to fix the deleted navmeshes in the DLC esms when running this patch. In FO3Edit load this patch, right click, apply script, and choose Apply Filter For Deleted Navmeshes. It will show The Pitt and Brokensteel deleted navmesh records. v3.0+ overrides/fixes every deleted navmesh.

Important Note
Do not edit or clean the main game ESM files and do not edit or clean this patch or you're asking for things to break in your game.

Conflicts
Unofficial Fallout 3 Patch.esm is around 53,000 records. Which means this patch touches A LOT of the coding because Fallout 3 is a very buggy game. One of the buggiest games I've ever seen. That being said, running other mods alongside this patch will massively conflict with each other. If you want other mods to run correctly alongside this patch then I highly recommend you to open FO3Edit, right click on the left side, apply filter to show conflicts. Solving those conflicts is the way to go.

Vanilla bugs unknown how to fix
  • NPC's weapons floating near or on their hands. Only 2 ways I could figure out what helps with this. Best way is to save then load your save. Another way is to go into console, click on the npc, type resurrect and hit enter
  • Murder reaction dialogue for girl or guy (game engine doesn't detect correctly whether player killed a man or woman)
  • Attack loop sounds from Miniguns, Gatling Lasers, Sentry Bot's, etc sometimes keep going when not firing. Best way to fix this is to save then load your save
  • Certain angles a black square appears on certain surfaces. I only have theories towards why that occurs
  • After looting helmets/masks from decapitated npcs their helmets/masks stay on their heads

  • Fallout3.esm

Goodies (Optional in FOMOD installer)

  • DLC weapons integrated into the wasteland (Auto Axe, Axe, Double Barrel Shotgun, Heavy Incinerator, Infiltrator, Lever Action Rifle, Shovel)
  • Cut content weapons/armor in various places and on npcs
  • Adds Older Fallout music (Does not replace FO3 music)

  • Centaur and swamplurk radioactive spit explosions

Mod Suggestions
Cut Content Restored and Reasons
  • Tobar dialogue lines during the Bog hallucinations. No idea why that was cut, it's funny and should be there
  • Restored the Ranger Battle Helmet's texture to green so it matches its green colored armor
  • Restored Moriarty's Strongbox key into his inventory. If you talk to Jericho in Megaton and give him money for booze, in return he'll tell you about the cabinet in which Moriarty keeps his caps, and the key that opens it. The only problem is Moriarty didn't have the key.
  • Restored when you receive the T-45d Power Armor from Sarah Lyons to receiving the Lyons Pride Power Armor instead. It didn't make sense with what sarah said when she gave you the T-45d Power Armor and you weren't able to receive the Lyons Pride Power Armor in the game. Not only is it disappointing to receive an ordinary T-45d Power Armor set, it made no sense to what Sarah Lyons said to you about becoming an honorary Lyons member. You can find the T-45d Power Armor set in many places before reaching that point. Reaching that far in the quest line should reward you with an unique Power Armor set and for what you're about to face (which is the fun enclave battle).
  • Restored when you receive Recon Armor from Sarah to receiving the Composite Recon Armor instead. You weren't able to receive the Composite Recon Armor in the game. The only reason why it's in here because in the similar scenario as the previous change, reaching that far in the quest line should reward you with an unique recon set and for what you're about to face (which is the fun enclave battle ). That armor set is hardly more powerful then the common one in any case.
  • Restored the area behind the Chop Shop in Underworld. An inaccessible door blocked your way to get behind there. I see no reason why you can't go back there. There's a locked safe and 2 named ferals that don't attack you.
  • Restored Megaton Brass Lantern Customer's unique dialogue. They're supposed to be friendly and the only npc that's supposed to be rude is Andy in The Brass Lantern.
  • Restored Mr. Burke fully into the game(Screens). There's dialogue Burke says either before, during, or after the Tenpenny Tower quest and the You Gotta Shoot 'Em in the Head quest. Burke's house was pointlessly sitting in Megaton never being used by him. Burke sat in a chair at Moriartys all day long and never gets up. He's disabled from the game for no reasons. Everything that was cut fits into the game perfectly which are the following:
  1. Burke will only disappear/be disabled from game if you charm him and not blow up megaton
  2. You're able to initiate conversations with Burke at appropriate times including before and after quests
  3. Burke is a resident of Megaton with a daily routine
  4. Burke's house can be unlocked with his house key
  5. Burke's house key is in his inventory
  6. Burke has a daily routine at Tenpenny Tower

  • Reverted Dad's surgical mask in the beginning birth scene to not modulate his voice (his dialogue is too quiet for that feature)

  • Fixed Paladin Hoss and his Brotherhood Paladin follower to go to the Falls Church parking lot to hold their position at the appropriate time. Which is after the player talks to Hoss for the 1st time
  • Fixed Paladin Hoss and his Brotherhood Paladin follower to change to follow the player (escort helping fight off enemies whenever the player returns to Falls Church worldspace)
  • Fixed Paladin Hoss and his Brotherhood Paladin follower to follow the player in the Falls Church worldspace only. They won't follow the player into interiors and not fast travel with
  • Fixed a glitch that occurred when Paladin Hoss and his Brotherhood Paladin follower are following the player and the player goes into an interior that's linked to going back into the Falls Church worldspace, waits near the door, then all 3 npcs enter the interior

  • Included Evergreen Mills Behemoth cage fixes from CivisRomanus Unofficial Fallout 3 Fixes
  • Removed a lot of unnecessary dialogue records involving Generic type quests. Conditions are already applied on the quests themselves. These records didn't make any changes in game (From the TTW backporting process)

  • Included Essential UI Bug Fixes by Axonis. Optional in the fomod installer (Removed NV Recipe)

Previous Version Changes (3.1.6)
  • Fixed karma checks for hiring Jericho (ancient vanilla bug never fixed)
  • 0 to 1 weight to the Reading Glasses like all the other glasses have (Oops I missed that)
  • Removed T45d name change from Linden's Outcast Power Armor and moved to Goodies (Oops missed that too)
  • Ownership fixes to radios so when the player turns them off NPCs won't attack you
  • Fixed an oversight with Poplar's Hood and Maple's Garb's object effects being reversed
  • Fixed 2 creature spawns behind the Regulator HQ so they don't kill all the brahmin and the NPCs inside, especially at higher levels (works on a new game)

  • Fixed all the Paradise Falls slavers greetings and hello dialogue to say the correct things to the player depending on karma level. Also fixed their dialogue they should only say to each other

  • Fixed Wernher to hang out at the Downtown bar area after the Free Labor quest when siding with him
  • Fixed not being able to invest in Crazy Wolfgang's junk. Developers put Crow's armor investment dialogue choice there by mistake. Also Crow's investment exit choices were all wrong

  • Fixed a dialogue typo with Wernher
  • Adjusted the generator sound to not be super loud and lowered the distance to hear it
