📋 About This Mod
Megaton Reborn is a basic attempt to revitalize Megaton; this is done by adding fully-voiced NPCs that are as immersive as possible. They own shops and interact with the world around them. Please note that this mod is 100% lore-friendly. This mod has four stores in total. Eatz - a local shop run by man who isn\'t from Megaton; great for grabbing a bite before going into the Wastes Dressed - a clothing/armor store in the background of Megaton The Guard - a gun shop run by a bitter salesman who is very protective of his ordnance Bar/Lounge Area - a really neat bar/lounge area that rests in the sky of Megaton I basically want to make this mod as seamless possible. I want this to be the type of mod that you\'ll install on a new Fallout 3 game. I want it to not stick out as being a blatantly fan-made mod, and more like something Bethesda would have included in the game from the start. In the end, all I want is immersion. This is 100% lore-friendly. 1.) Download the mod manually. 2.) Drag \"Megaton Reborn1.esp\" and \"Megaton Reborn.esp\" and the \"Sound\" folder into your Fallout 3 data folder. 3.) Drag \"Meshes\" and \"Textures\" into your Fallout 3 data folder. If you have the Steam version of Fallout 3, you can find that here: steam/steamapps/common/fallout 3
