**NOTE TO MODERATORS AND INTERESTED PARTIES**

I have full permission from Rez to repost DC Subway here at the Nexus. Thank you Rez for allowing the community easier access to your much missed mod.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This mod adds new working subway trains as a means of traveling through the metro tunnels. The subways are animated so when you board a train at a station, you can walk around or have a seat and watch the world go by as you travel through the tunnels. Get off at the next station and wander around or ride the train on to the end of the line.

The subways are located inside new metro stations with entrances right beside or inside the vanilla subway entrances.


**NEW: Want people to harass and trade with in your subways? Try Metros Alive.**

Original description:

Story Line:

In 1950 D.C. Started building its first Subway System.. After several years and almost at its completion it was shut down and sealed never have been being used by the public. Official word was it flooded.

Later the Subway system we know and use today was built and opened to the public- the one destroyed in Fallout 3 due to the war..

Over the years after the war the Old Orig Subway system that had been sealed in time was discovered and secretly unsealed. After years of partially repairing the Old Subway systems and getting some of them working, they have now been opened for safer travel in the D.C. area due to the harsh environment above ground.


Game play:

Subway entrances are near orig ones.. or right inside Old station. You will see them. Metro Central is prob the easiest to start with.

The subway cars act pretty much like a normal subway. you enter the subway train and it will start automatically to its schedule. When arriving at the next stop, you can ether get off the subway train or stay on and ride thru to the next stop.. again will restart automatically..

The subway cars you can walk around on while moving and also is completely follower friendly.. you can even sandbox them on a subway train and pick them up later at a different station..

New Stations and Subway lines that are repaired and running. (These are all new.. do not effect Vanilla game or old subway stations)

2) Load the RezDCSubway.esm at the end of your ESM files in load order

Mod has been tested with large and small load orders and there have been no reports thus far of incompatibilities.



About the Mod:

At this time all the subway stations look sealed in time as they did over 200 years ago.. I was going to add vendors, stores, stands and a kinda transit authority. But figure releasing this way first would be better. Everyone kinda does and has their own theme for Fallout 3 and anything I added would prob not fit into everyones storyline... This way it is kinda an open canvas for those who want to add their own NPCs and such.. I would love to see people release some mods editing these stations with more activity... Thinking in real life if you had this whole underground world that was safe from the harsh environment, that there would prob be all sorts of shops and people in these stations.. along with some kind of security..

I have built this as an ESM so it will be easy to call as a master for other people who want to mod new stuff to it.. I have also included an esp file that is needed to unblock any entrances to the subways overwritten by other mods...

The subway system is all new... so does not effect the Vanilla game or the Old stations in anyway besides an old unsealed door in some.... nothing orig is removed and all quests work just as they did..


FAQ and Troubleshooting

If you get red diamonds then you did not install the mod correctly.. ( sorry we all seem to get one of those comments on our files from new people)

Subway car stops or slows when combat starts... This is meant to happen in some cases... It will restart again automatically.

When you save your game while riding the subway.. When you restart your game the subway car will be stopped.. But will restart again automatically

Entrances to the stations are blocked or cannot enter... This is caused by another mod you have overwriting the world space... Should not happen if you have the esp included in this file loaded last in your load order.

Sometimes my Followers get stuck in the floor for a moment outside the Orig Anacosta Subway station entrance... This is a bug in Fallout 3 itself.. My mod does not effect that area in any way.

I would like to leave a comment about how I would change everything in this mod.. or its great but you should of added ........... You can go to www.BuildYourOwnModAndDontDownloadMine.com
