"Since the Fallout 3 nexus is almost dead and so many people play Tale of Two Wastelands instead of regular Fallout 3, I'm posting this here too..." ---------- Hmm. Not sure why you'd think that. You may well get a quicker uptake of new TTW offerings but only because of the relative extreme paucity of mods & conversions for TTW 3.3x compared to FO3. And not least because there were a bunch of new HD texture mods for FO3 earlier this year as well as many past classic ones, so you've stiffer competition and far less immediate interest. I'll hide other completely unrelated reasons in a spoiler:

Folks also still play FO3 as there's so many good & great FO3 mods that have never been converted and probably never will be. Meanwhile imho, the only drawback of FO3 (from a player perspective) was a lack of true ironsights but this has since been fully backported (Iron Sights Plus).
FNV-TTW may work smoother on newer OS/hardware?? (might depend on Steam/GOG support). But TTW also comes with lots of FNV baggage I (and I'm sure some others) loathe (eg, timed health on every food item, ammo crafting and tons of extra ammo types and all the tons of extra-anus item/component listings thereof). There was always also the problem of levelling too high by the time you reach Vegas (but that might have been addressed by 3.3.3??). Of course, a lot of this is a matter of taste and not a criticism of TTW per se.
Btw, if any TTW player misses FO3's simpler instant food health process, Cameron's Baby Food mod will give it to you - and in the comments SciRika in July 2023 provided a working link to an updated esp compatible with the latest TTW.
