"For the sake of posterity" the handful of apparent TTW fans such as yourself who periodically comment on FO3 mod pages looking for conversions of old mods, should note the real reasons why (12 years since TTW first came out) they still need to be doing so:

The following is a copy & pasted opinion I've previously posted elsewhere on Nexus (and yes, I've played TTW v3.3.1 fully):
Firstly, TTW will never get around to converting most of the useful and good FO3 mods out there. And to make matters worse TTW version updates are often so overhaulling that each time around not all FO3 mods that had been converted will work properly with each newer TTW version (not even all v3.3.2 mods work with v3.3.3). And as interest in these older games become more niche and modders move on, so too does the bother to update that library or convert new ones (let alone make new mods to challenge FO3's extant library). Years ago it reached the point where for the massively bigger library of FO3 mods that'll never get converted to whatever current version of TTW is being hawked, you're far better off just keeping FO3 & FNV as separate games.
I would go one step further on that and point out the arrival of TTW did some damage to the FO3 mod library in that in the heyday of TTW's promise (say, around v2.9 to v3.2) some FO3 modders converted to it and, thinking FO3 would die out, even (pointlessly) deleted their FO3 versions. Maybe they thought this could help convert gamers by doing so (there did/does seem to be almost cult-like aspects to adherents of TTW at times). Anyway, two examples of great mods which suffered that fate were GNR Building Redux and Reilly's Rangers Compound Redux. And yet by 2024 even their TTW conversions got removed as being "obsolete" for the latest TTW. I could list other issues about TTW but that would be getting too much into the personalities involved...
And anyway, TTW doesn't have a cohesive "tale" at all but remains two completely different games merely bolted together, which also means by the time you reach Goodsprings you're a high-level character so the FNV balance is all wrong. And even just using TTW for its FO3 DC portion means having to use FNV stuff like timed health, the gimmicky companion wheel (FO3's simple menu is easier), and more subtle balance problems like a different way of calculating damage to the way FO3 was built, etc. Against that I will admit TTW used to have the benefit of true ironsights, but that has since been backported to FO3. And when Windows 10 first came out in 2015 some folks on that OS used to have fewer issues running FNV smoothly than they did FO3, but that ceased to be an issue by 2017 when the GOG version came out (and since been sorted on Steam apparently, at least with tweaks/fixes).
But all that said, I accept some prefer TTW, so for the sake of posterity and your fellow TTW users why not upload your conversion? Did the author refuse? The permissions state if you don't get a reply within two weeks, then "feel free" to do whatever you like.
Probably conflicts with Megaton Park. It puts a tree in the same place as the shop. If put later in load order, it makes all trees purple polygons, if put earlier, it causes occasional CTD in Megaton. Too bad because I liked it.
it messed up megaton on my game .... when i circled megaton there were a whole section missing ... a big hole where there should be walls... i unloaded it since all i wanted were the nv goggles

Great mod, and needed, especially early on in a game, yet later too. I like the high-end stuff.
Please read the mod description on why the mod exist.
