📋 About This Mod
- A World Of Pain for Fallout 3
By djmystro (aka David LeMaistre)
This mod adds loads of new and detailed interior locations with an enemy stronghold vibe along with loads of new enemies to battle, several main quests, new companions, lots of new items to collect, loads of notes and loads more tricks and traps.
The new interiors are all big and heavily cluttered in a realistic and lore-friendly manner. They are also designed to scare and test the player in many unusual ways (especially with MMM running which can fill certain areas up to ridiculous degrees depending on chosen settings).
Like AWOP for FNV it’s currently built entirely from vanilla content to show what can be done with just the original game assets so file size is low and installation should be easy.
This mod is not to be used as a basis for launching an inter-galactic war under any circumstances. If I discover for now on, anyone duplicating the contents of this mod due to it's status as a modder's resource for that purpose and I'll set it to 100% copyrighted and if need be remove the mod entirely to save any more unpleasantness.
INSTALLATION:
Drag AWorldOfPainFO3.esm to the Fallout3 Data folder. Select from the data menu on startup or use FOMM (or similar) in the same manner. Launch game & enjoy.
For updates just copy over the old version no need to back old stuff up. It will able be kept online anyway.
-Asylum Main Entrance suffers from some minor slowdown during combat despite being a very compact location from which I have deleted everything unessential. If you find you are experiencing constant problems during combat I recommend using the ‘killall’ command in this area (watch out for unessential companions though) once the enemies have spawned (which is a triggered event rather than instant area spawn). Despite the slowdown I have never had a CTD in the area and the door teleport is an easy load. Everything else plays fine as far as I am aware so if you spot any other bugs please let me know.
