📋 About This Mod
With this mod, weapons\'s shells will not disapear after 5s like vanilla Fallout 3. This mod change : - Shells appears at very far distance (512 ==> 200000). - Shells disapears only after a long time (5s ==> 20000s). - Shells count limit increased (25 ==> 1500). THIS MOD IS COMPATIBLE WITH ALL LANGUAGES. This mod is tested on a \"slow computer\" (1280x1024 with all graphics settings to low) and work with 1500 shells on screen without big FPS fall. I tested to increase to 2500, but FPS Fell. For install, simply unzip the file in your \"Fallout 3\\Data\" folder and enable it in FalloutLauncher.exe.
