📋 About This Mod
This is an unofficial overhaul mod for Elijah Houck's "Alton, IL - Huge World and Quest mod". It fixes bugs, edits terrain, alters quests, rewrites dialogue, and more. Many voiced lines in Alton will no longer match subtitles.
====================
Alton, IL - Alton Overhaul (unofficial add-on) - v1. 0, 11/22/21
====================
IMPORTANT WARNINGS - READ THIS!!!
1. THIS MOD REQUIRES "ALTON IL - HUGE WORLD AND QUEST MOD" v2. 0. 3 BY ELIJAH HOUCK
2. This mod for Alton is unofficial and is not created or endorsed by Elijah Houck
3. This mod should be located after AltonAddon.esp in your load order.
4. This mod changes a lot of Alton's dialogue. Turn on subtitles. The SPOKEN VOICES will often NO LONGER MATCH THE WRITTEN DIALOGUE as a result. The original voice files can be moved or deleted to disable them.
5. This mod causes Alton to ONLY be playable AFTER you've finished most of Fallout 3. You need to progress to the point in Broken Steel where you can access the Presidential Metro. Without access to the Presidential Metro - and Adams Air Force Base - you can NOT access Alton.
This add-on mod for Alton, IL was created by DarknessSquall, with permission from Elijah Houck as per the description in his mod: "You are allowed and fully encouraged to make Alton itself your own playground. Want a house in Alton? Feel free to make it and share it with the community!".

Description
====================
This mod for Elijah Houck's "Alton, IL - New World and Quest mod" was originally made for my personal use. It includes a huge number of bug fixes that were not included in the final release of Alton. These bug fixes range from very minor to game breaking lockouts and crashes, and everything in between. It makes many alterations to the game's story and dialogue to change the narrative. These tweaks are based purely on my own opinion and preferences and may be seen as a huge upgrade or a massive downgrade from the default version of Alton.
If you have a bad memory tied to searching for someone's dog in Old Godfrey, this mod is for you.

Technical Description
====================
It was very difficult and time-consuming to make this mod, because Alton.esm has a required bug fix add-on, AltonAddon.esp. As a result, I was forced to build my mod on top of AltonAddon.esp, then use FO3Edit to clean my mod of all redundancy and work that was not mine. All of the modifications found in AltonOverhaul.esp are, or should be, my own work, and this can be verified by comparing the files in FO3Edit.
