Wow guys... It's possible the fog is only visible from orbit... Mars is only a copper colour because of dust in the atmosphere. On the surface, it's actually grey.
I'm so glad I found this mod. It's truly a glorious sight and this mod convinced me to start a new playthrough of Fallout 3 where I would mod everything else to look beautiful.
actually crazy. Like this dlc is such a cash cow, but the experiences it delivers are pretty blockbuster in terms of emotional punch. might give this a go if i get set on a solid re-run
If you're installing manually, download the file and drag its contents to your data folder. If you're using a mod manager, download the mod and load it in your mod manager and then install it there.
All the visible landmass is desert. There are plenty of clouds. What would you expect it to look like? I'm not going to do what Bethesda did and make the thing yellow, that wouldn't make any sense. If you're talking about black craters or something those wouldn't really be visible from that far in orbit.
Anyways unless someone has any specific requests that are actually practical and doable I'm not going to change this.
Starwarsguy is right. The world would not retain the green/yellow glow. Proof of that is evident in our world today. We've detonated thousands of nuclear weapons, hundreds of tests in Nevada alone. We've seen the effects on nations, that which prosper and thrive today. The whole idea of the great war leaves a lot to the imagination, 200 years later and the world is still grey and dead? That's why mods like Fellout are so popular on Nexus. It restores what really would be there.
If we were playing in an era where the nukes went off a few days ago, I might believe it. As is, this is a wonderful mod and a well earned endorsement on the creators hard work.
@Tefle Huden Yes, there have been thousands of detonations over a period of 70 years. In Fallout's Great War, it was many MANY thousands all at once. That much radiation all at once would do some considerable damage. For how long? I honestly can't say, because I don't know. But I agree, that after 200 years, there should have been at least SOME plants growing. But the planet would be changed a lot by an event like that.
Well considering the fact that only USA and China were bombed, I guess that after all the ash and radiation, 264 years later (2277- 2013) the earth will recover, more mushrooms than plants (mushrooms thrive in radiaion) but still, plants. Africa would lose a half of it's wild life, along with most of Europe in famine considering the ash clouds blocking UV light and other cool stuff for the plants. But 264 years? At the rate the human population is growing compared to the plant population (counting every blade of grass) I guess yes, the earth will be back in good shape, not tip top but good. Oh and a nuclear fallout doesn't make more sand XD.
No, the war was global. Pretty much everybody except relatively secluded places got hit. There'll be a lot of places in Africa and stuff like national parks in the US and Europe and other places because you don't waste nukes bombing lions in the savanna or national parks like Zion Valley.
imagine a cold war style arms race from 1950's up until the last day in 2077 and nearly all those weapons, stockpiled over 120 years, used in the space of two hours. The world would be a desert for the most part and radiation would still exist on land, in extreme levels in some places. Though the dust would settle by then for sure after 2 centuries and the atmosphere/oceans would still be mainly what is is now so this texture is pretty dead on with how the earth would look from orbit, imho.
There's a limit, much of it budgetary, to how many nukes can be stockpiled. A lot would have to be decommissioned for obsolescence and, as I mentioned, you don't waste nukes bombing savannas and national parks. Quoting from J.E. Sawyer's Formspring on how damaged the world should be, where he discusses how destroyed the world should be. Guy Asking: "But according to the Fallout one map there are some huge craters in the eastern Sierra Nevadas.Its just the whole 'lowering of the total damage' idea that's been happening since FO2. Perhaps someday the FO U wont be caused by nukes but gov't shut down" Sawyer: "I wouldn't lean too heavily on the Fallout world map considering that the Necropolis is supposed to be Bakersfield and it's exactly where Barstow would be. There's not any good reason for anyone to target the eastern Sierra Nevadas with nuclear weapons. Even at the height of Cold War danger, projections of targets included far more intense, repeated strikes at sites of relevance rather than randomly chucking nuclear missiles at national parks."
@gholol There was no green fog in Fallout 1 or 2. There is also foliage (though mostly hostile) in Fallout 2. The Earth was recovering in the Fallout universe pre Fallout 3. Bethesda clearly didn't care enough about the lore since that took me a total of five minutes to look up.
I was doing some comparisons for my reinstall and this is pulled directly from QuazarX's Mothership Zeta HD Textures on modgames.net, there is no modifications to it like expressed in description. So are you stealing and not crediting QuazarX or the other way around? I see zero credits.

Any mesh/textures replacer work with TTW, as long as the mod doesnt require an esp you can use it for TTW
might give this a go if i get set on a solid re-run
but how do i install it?

This is not your world, this is Fallout world.
