📋 About This Mod
There are 16 different posters out there in the Wasteland. Everything from Sugar Pops to support for Uncle Sam. 32 really because there is a second set that is more faded and dirty and torn. This mod completely replaces all 32 of the original posters with 50\'s Pin-up girls. Each poster was made to somewhat hint at or reference the poster it replaced. For example, the Candystriper Nurse poster in the Megaton Clinic now has a sexy lady saying \"It hurts right here Doctor\". The text was my attempt at what I\'ve seen as the humor that goes along with the whole 50\'s pin-up scene. In most cases it probably won\'t make sense of out context of the original poster, but I think you\'ll enjoy the graphics anyway. I will only post a few photos of the new posters, because I think part of the fun is running around discovering them all for yourself. +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Installation: Unpack the compressed file. 1) If you don\'t already have a file called ArchiveInvalidation.txt, copy this one to your Fallout 3 folder. If you do have one, copy the following text and add it to your existing. textures/architecture/urban/urbanposters01.dds textures/architecture/urban/urbanposters01lb.dds textures/architecture/urban/urbanposters02.dds textures/architecture/urban/urbanposters02lb.dds textures/architecture/urban/urbanposters03.dds textures/architecture/urban/urbanposters03lb.dds textures/architecture/urban/urbanposters04.dds textures/architecture/urban/urbanposters04lb.dds 2) Copy the entire Textures folder to your Data folder inside the Fallout 3 one. 3) If you haven\'t already, go to the folder C:\\Documents and Settings\\user\\My Documents\\My Games\\Fallout3 and edit FALLOUT.ini and change the line \"bInvalidateOlderFiles=0\" to \"bInvalidateOlderFiles=1\". Load up Fallout 3 and you should be ready to go! +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Uninstall Delete the above listed files and ArchiveInvalidation.txt entries. Feel free to use this mod in any projects you\'re working on so long as it is not for profit. Please put credit in there somewhere for me.
