The Arbor

What is this mod about? The Arbor is a Bioshock-inspired mod for Fallout 3. I took some of the basic themes of the first game (underwater city, enigmatic founder, fighting mutated former-residents) and built a story around them which would fit the Fallout 3 universe. Unlike Bioshock, however, this mod is built to mesh with the vanilla Fallout 3 gameplay experience; there won't be plasmids to use or Big Daddies to fight, but you will find a wider variety of loot and have the ability to freely roam through the city.

What does this mod require? This mod requires all 5 DLC packs: Broken Steel, Operation: Anchorage, The Pitt, Point Lookout, and Mothership Zeta. It also requires the newest versions of FOSE and Fallout 3, and the following three modders' resources:

• []US Coins Modding Resource by Jounk23[/] []Whitefang Grand Piano model resource by HugePinball[/] []Animated Aquarium by Kalten1979[/]

No other mods are required and the mod itself is only an .esp file; install it by moving it into your Fallout 3/Data folder. The modders' resources are installed by moving their mesh and texture folders into your Fallout 3/Data/Meshes or Fallout 3/Data/Textures folders. Should you get strange textures which change colors, make sure your ArchiveInvalidation is fixed and your textures are correctly installed; if you see red diamonds with white exclamation points in Arbor, make sure your meshes are correctly installed. Do not remove the meshes or textures for the modders' resources from their respective folders, or you will encounter these errors.

It is strongly recommended that you also use Prensa's excellent mod, Point Lookout - No more silent Doors with this one; there are many doors and cabinets from Point Lookout used in The Arbor, so having this mod will add to the experience. Additionally, it fixes the single door cabinets, so you will have access to additiona
