Nmc's Texture Pack For Fallout 3

What This Mod Does:

Information technology changes the vast majority of in-game graphics (meet screen-shots)

The DLC is not retextured with this modern, it covers Fallout iii. It still works if you have the DLC installed but the textures in the DLC will be the ones that shipped with the original game (unless textures in the DLC are re-used from the Fallout game).

This was a years worth of work, all textures were made individually by ane person lone, and took a great deal of effort.

What graphics does this mod change?

Roads
Landscape, Trees, Rocks
Vehicles- Cars/ Motorbikes/ Boats etc.
Buildings-
Litter & most newspaper scraps
Interiors- all aspects, walls ceilings floors etc.
Medium to large sized objects (eg. toolboxes, Nuka cola vendors, chairs, cupboards etc).

This encompasses the bulk of the in-game visuals, what I consider the vast bulk of the graphics.

What graphics does this modernistic NOT change?

Sky, Water, Pocket-size clutter objects (eg bottles, cans, books etc)
NPC'southward (in game characters), Bodies/ faces, Clothing etc.
Weapons,
Effects
Mutants and other wasteland creatures.
UI elements, Loading Screens, PipBoy.

(and so whatsoever glitches with these particular textures has Zippo to do with this mod!).

Note: So every bit not to be pedantic, these lists are not exhaustive as it would have up most of this folio. Check the videos, screenshots and look youselves in-game. A lot of the elements that are not covered in this texture pack are covered past other mods at Nexus, which you can add together as y'all experience fit.

How to install this mod

There are 4 Sizes of texture pack to choice from, all incorporate the aforementioned number of textures, simply at different resolutions:

Maximum typically 2048x2048 Textures and Normals.
Large typically 2048x2048 Textures and 1024x1024 Normals.
Performance - a paw picked mixture of Maximum, Big & Lite to maximise visuals with to the lowest degree impact on operation.
Lite- typically the same size as default textures, ie. 512x512.

I CANNOT GIVE A GUARANTEED Reply AS TO WHAT PERFORMANCE YOU Tin can EXPECT FOR EACH PACK AND YOUR Private PC, ONLY A Crude Judge. See below.

From highest quality to lowest quality:

* MAXIMUM-
Ultra High Quality, maximum resolution graphics.
You need to use the Large Address Aware Enabler for FO3 mod or yous will most probable get slowdowns and crashing and texture glitches and CTD's.
Recommended specs? Difficult to say- I would recommend this pack size if you get 60FPS capped with the default game and take a good hardware with little to no drops in FPS with the default game. And to minimise stuttering, have the game installed on a Solid State Drive or very fast hard drive or RAID0 configured drives.

* Big-
Very High Quality Graphics.
Strongly advise to utilise the Big Address Aware Enabler for FO3 mod, or you may become slowdowns and crashing and texture glitches and CTD'due south.
Recommended specs? Once again it'southward all subjective. I would recommend that you go 60FPS capped with the default game and have good hardware and have little to no drops in FPS with the default game. Again, a Solid Country Drive would aid to avert potential stutters.

* Operation-
High Quality Graphics, textures are selected for the best rest of quality and performance. I advise to employ the Large Accost Enlightened Enabler for FO3 mod.
Recommended specs? This should run well if you can run the default game at a good FPS level.

* Low-cal-
Good quality graphics, just around the same resolution as the default game graphics, some are a niggling larger. Don't think they are non worth trying, you will be very pleasantly surprised!
Recommended specs? If you can run the default game y'all can run this sized pack and expect the same operation.

Install with Nexus Modernistic Manager:

Selection a size pack you desire to apply, download information technology using NEXUS MOD MANAGER (NMM) by clicking on the dark-green button on the downloads page, and install it as you would whatsoever other mod via NMM.

IMPORTANT:
Activate 'Annal Invalidation' in the tools (spanner/ wrench icon) tab of NMM.

You are prepare to play.

Installing with FOMM (Instructions provided courtesy of EvilOssie

- Use this version of FOMM. Once it'south installed and set up, do the following...

1) Manually download whichever sized pack you want to use to your desktop (or wherever you download to).

2) Unzip the file; inside is a folder titled something like NMCs Texture Pack xxxx; open up that folder and and re-create/paste the contents into a new empty folder and . DO Not include the 'NMCs Texture Pack folder', only the contents folders.

iii) Once y'all have done that, proper name the folder 'NMC'south Textures' or similar, open up FOMM to the package manager (2d panel) and do a normal 'Create from Folder' install. Look a long fourth dimension every bit everything is installed

4) And then reset annal invalidation through FOMM. You lot should be practiced to go afterward.

Or, install manually (Not RECOMMENDED):

The Nexus servers can sometimes neglect when downloading big files manually, so please be aware of this earlier choosing this method. Using a download managing director may prevent this issue as they typically allow y'all to resume a download if it fails halfway through downloading.

Download the pack size you want to utilize.
Excerpt it and open the folder created- theres a folder inside called 'textures'.
Copy this into the binder called 'data' in your Fallout three game folder.
Click 'yes' if asked if you want to replace files.
Activate archive invalidation.

Any errors unpacking the file is due to a corrupt download or a server issues so please re-download the mod or failing that contact the admins of this site. Don't mail service in the thread or PM me regarding this outcome equally I am not a website administrator, I accept no control over these types of issues.

Uninstalling the mod

Either:

Uninstall via the mod manager you installed the mod with...

...or using Ox30'due south uninstaller available on the downloads page.

Notation: Ox 30'southward uninstaller will indiscriminately delete every same-named file that this modern includes. Then if you take already overwritten my mod with other texture packs, then those same-named files will besides exist deleted.

Troubleshooting:

* If textures don't show up in-game, make certain you have 'archive invalidation' enabled. If you already have, plough it OFF, then dorsum ON again.

* If the game stutters/ crashes more often, use the Large Address Aware Enabler for FO3 modern and maybe check out the 'Stutter Remover' mod here at Nexus. If that doesn't ready it, try the 'Clear Cell Buffers EVERY Cell' mod (at the bottom of the downloads page) or cull a smaller sized pack.

* If you are non happy with your performance, download and install a smaller sized pack or pass up some of your in-game settings.

* If you are getting skilful performance and desire better graphics, install a larger sized pack.

* If you are getting errors unpacking this is often due to your download cutting out brusque- It's a Nexus consequence, nix to do with me then please don't mail your complaints in the thread because it's got zip to do with me or the modernistic. Plus, here is a workaround I discovered:

I recommend Free Download Managing director as it resumes downloads when the servers cut out.

If y'all are using NMM (Nexus Mod Manager), try changing the default server to one closest to you as by default information technology selects the server with the fewest users when yous choose to download.

NOTES FOR USERS ALREADY FAMILIAR WITH THIS MOD:

This page and downloads page has been recently overhauled, mainly due to the same questions being asked over and once more and because of Nexus Servers not working properly and stopping people downloading this modernistic hands enough. This involved me having to delete all the old files and re-upload the whole mod equally NMM-compatible files.

Heres a few things to know...

* There are NO new textures, so if you already have my texture pack installed there is NO Need TO RE-DOWNLOAD Information technology!

* The 'max bumpmaps' add-on files are now already included in the MAXIMUM pack.

* The 'Full' pack is now called the 'Large Pack'.
