📋 About This Mod

Years in the making: MOFAM - MasterLix's Overhaul For Advanced Modding.At approximately 500 mods we will also be using a multitude of tools, similarly to my MOFAM guide for Fallout 4, Lexy's guide for SSE & STEP guides found elsewhere. If

Please do spend a few moments to read the Prologue to grasp the background, intent & brief overview of the final-build. Certain key-technical, thematic & practical advice is given to shed deeper light on both the installation & final output.

Given its broad scope and wide array of mods & differing authors' input, I affectionately perceive MOFAM to be a celebration of the Nexus & modding community, and five years of my life well-spent & richly-rewarded.

What differentiates MOFAM from other guides is it's purely Fallout 3 centric: I know full well many modders have moved onto TTW however given it's the games 15th Anniversary, this is a pure nostalgic trip for me, and perhaps like you, Fallout 3 is your personal favourite holding many fond & dear memories. Indeed, I have zero interest in returning to FNV & the conceptual attraction behind TTW yields little value.

Welcome to MOFAM

My FO4 guide celebrating its 3rd year on the landscape. I also have a similar guide for Oblivion, my other favourite. Check them out for a similar (albeit larger) adventure!

Thankyou's and Testimonials from my discord

I am having a blast playing this. Reminds me of installing Lexy's guide.  Totally worth it.

This list may be actually perfect. My computer isn't super powerful, by any stretch, but I'm getting solid frames, and I think this is the best I'veever seen it look. Gameplay-wise, it's just difficult enough for it to be hard, but not so much that it feels unfair. Literally the only downside to this guide is actually going through it, but I promise it's not that bad. It's just a bit more involved than Lexy's guide, so if you've done that, you can handle this. Don't be afraid to ask for help on the discord. 10/10 genuinely great stuff

I must say, this guide is fantastic. And long overdue. All of the promising mod guides for FO4 from early on,(that I'm aware of), have long been abandoned. This is one that should have everybody excited right now. Thank you so much MasterLix for your dedication and hard work on this

Mr. Pwntacular

Thanks! Great guide btw. I never really knew where to start with modding until I decided to follow your guide. Cheers!

Hello all! First off, wow. I cannot convey the feeling I felt when first booting up my complete @MasterLix load order and entering my first Red Rocket load screen that lasted 2 seconds. It's natural to be perfectionist/greedy with load orders, and that's what makes Beth games still playable, but the year 2020 was truly a test of patience ex
