Hey Mastodon gamers! My household has been watching the new Fallout show, and I've had Fallout 3 and New Vegas for a while parked on my Steam Deck... but haven't gotten around to actively playing them. The show is making me want to! And I want to start with 3.

However, given the age of the game, I'm wondering if I should set it up for mods on the Deck similar to my Skyrim. Are there critical bugfix patches I should get as mods right out of the gate? I'm thinking of trying to play as close to vanilla as possible, for my first attempt at playing the game. Recommendations for critical mods welcome!

  • Fallout Anniversary Patcher
  • FO3 BSA Decompressor
  • FOSE 1.3
  • Command Extender
  • FO3 Mod Limit Fix
  • Unofficial Fallout 3 ESM Patcher
  • Updated Unofficial Fallout 3 Patch (OGG)
  • lStewieAl's Tweaks
  • ActorCause Save Bloat Fix
  • Combat Lag Fix

For New Vegas I would probably just follow the Viva New Vegas Guide
