Fallout 3 Immersive Add-Ons: A Beginner’s Guide to a Lore-friendly Wasteland
Originally published in this post to r/Fallout, what started out as a 12-page guide to lore-friendly and immersive mods eventually expanded into a 56-page review on the best and most immersive mods the Fallout modding community has to offer.
For a long time I've been adamant that my numerous guides be available only in online readable format, however, I've had a change of perspective and will now release them here on the Nexus in PDF form (feel free to request a different format) so you may download and enjoy them for personal use.
This guide features:
Over 200 hand-picked lore-friendly and immersive mods
Hyperlinked entries
A summary and quick personal review for each featured mod
Beautifully-formatted entries complete with appropriate imagery from Fallout 3 concept art
