Inspired by Project Nevada's Item Sorter for New Vegas and Better Item Sorting for Fallout 4, here is a basic item prefix mod for Fallout 3.

Comes with ESP's for each main file, as well as one file with all files merged. Don't have all DLCs? No problem! It's all there.

Using Darnified UI, the Unofficial Patch or the Wanderer's Edition? I got something for you too!

Now also available for New Vegas!

Vanilla Version
  • Main File - Spoiled Edition: In this Edition, certain Aid items as well as all useful Misc items have been conveniently prefixed. This edition is good for experienced players who memorized all items they need and don't want to sort through the mountains of garbage with only alphabetical ordering. This edition is the reason why I made this mod. Enjoy. :)
  • Main File - No Spoiler Edition: In this Edition, Quest prefixes have been removed from Aid items. Misc item Craft prefix is gone and all repeatable Misc quests items have been put into the Junk prefix. This edition is good for new Fallout 3 players who aren't supposed to know how certain items work, which is why I dubbed this edition the "No Spoiler" edition.
  • Optional File - DarNified UI Spoiled Edition (DnUI): Same as the Spoiled Edition. All {curly brackets} removed for Darnified UI users.
  • Optional File - DarNified UI No Spoiler Edition (DnUI NS): Same as the No Spoiler Edition, for DarNUI.


Unofficial Patch Version
  • Optional File - Unofficial Patch Spoiled Edition (UP): This is a revision of my mod to accommodate to the subtle changes made to weapons and apparels by the Unofficial Patch, which are overridden in the files above. This version is also based on the prefixes from the DarnUI edition, so DarnUI users can use this as well (curly brackets removed). This edition only supports the GOTY edition (or all DLCs installed).
  • Optional File - Unofficial Patch No Spoiler Edition (UP NS): Same as above, supports the UP and DarnUI, except it's the No Spoiler edition.


Wanderer's Edition Version
  • Optional File - Wanderer's Edition Spoiled Edition (WE): In this version, all new items added by FWE have prefix like all other items. Please look below for the required content/mods to run this version as well as the load order.
  • Optional File - Wanderer's Edition No Spoiler Edition (WE NS): The No Spoiler version of the WE.


Content/Mods Required for this version:
- Fallout 3 with All DLCs (or GOTY edition)
- UPDATED Unofficial Fallout 3 Patch
- UUF3P - FWE Compatibility Patch (Unofficial Patch Optional Download)
- FWE - FO3 Wanderers Edition (Part 1, Part 2 and Hotfix)
- All Optional DLC Modules from FWE (Packaged with FWE)

Optional
- DarNified UI
- DarnUI Support for FWE 6-02 (FWE Optional Download)

My mod must be loaded last, below every mods listed above.
Please refer to the FWE Description page on how to deal with your own Load Order. I also uploaded a picture of my own FOMM setup to give you an idea of how I set it up.

Modder's Resource

This file can used in the GECK as a counterpart for OPAL files for any items that can be used by the player. Navigate the Object Window by sorting the names and all items should be easier to spot. Find usable weapons, armors, medical items and misc items with ease. Anything that doesn't have a prefix can't be used by the player, so no worries about adding an unplayable item.

To use this file in the GECK, simply check the box of this mod along with your own and sprinkle that clutter away with ease. I suggest using anything but the [00] All DLC files, as it will set all DLC as Masters for your own mod. This can be undone easily in FO3Edit, but nonetheless, I suggest using the separate content files from [01] to [10].

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

Here's a preview of how your items will be prefixed. By using (different) <types> [of] {brackets}, symbols (# ! *) and relevant prefix, I reorganized the item's sorting order by fooling computer alphabet.

(EN-P) - Energy Pistols
(EN-R) - Energy Rifles
(SG-P) - Small Guns - Pistols
(SG-R) - Small Guns - Rifles

Side-Note
  • Broken Steel's own version of the Super Sledge has been renamed "Overlord Sledge".
  • One item in the pictures I uploaded is called Sac of Holding. This is a separate mod, which is why it has no prefix. ;)
  • The first 4 pictures I uploaded used MTUI.
  • 3 latest pictures I uploaded use the Darnified UI.
