📋 About This Mod

This version of the mod is outdated and will no longer receive updates. It will receive updates elsewhere.

Features:

Fixes visible holes in geometry.

Fixes incorrect properties that effect how the mesh looks.

Optimized meshes for better performance.

Improved loading times.

Less memory usage.

Reduced floating items off of tables and counters.

Improved collision accuracy for more accurate shooting and to prevent the player and NPCs from getting stuck.

Numerous other fixes.

Installation:

In the Nexus files tab download the "Installer For MAC-10 F3 TTW" in the miscellaneous section and drop the MPI inside the installer folder where

the installer exe is and then launch the installer and follow the instructions there. You need to have a legal copy of Fallout 3 installed and all it's DLCs

for the installer to finish. Optionally if preferred you can drop the MPI into the TTW exe folder and install it that way. After installation you may uninstall

Fallout 3 if desired.

Additionally this mod requires the original Meshes and Collision - Totally Enhanced NIFs mod for proper functionality.

Compatibility:

This mod is compatible with both skinned mesh improvement mod and Collision Meshes and most other mesh mods. But make sure MAC-10 overwrites all of the mentioned mods in MO2 in the left pane by being placed lower so you get more fixes. Additionally It's recommended to use Items Transformed - Enhanced Meshes (ITEM) alongside MAC10 F3 TTW. Please note this mod does not cover the NV world at all. DO NOT use this mod with vanilla F3 or you may experience gamebreaking issues, only meant to be used with TTW.

Mods that shouldn't be used with MAC10 F3 TTW (These were redone and have additional fixes):

  • []Improved Firehouse Collision[/]

    Recommended mods to be used with MAC-TEN:

    Vanilla Plus Tonemapper (Helps fix some objects becoming too blown out and pure white)

    Lighting Enhanced Normal Textures (LENT) (Supplement to Vanilla Plus Tonemapper, enhances lighting and further reduces overly bright objects)

    Meshes and Collision - Totally Enhanced NIFs (Required to be installed alongside this)

    Items Transformed - Enhanced Meshes (ITEM) (Recommended to use alongside MAC10)

    Restored Physics Sounds (Soft requirement for this mod, restores missing physics sounds)

    Performance Of The Titans (Optimizes a bunch of major areas in NV)

    Optimized Weapon World Models (ESPLESS) (Recommended to use alongside MAC10 if you play with vanilla weapon models)

    MAC-TEN NVR (If you use NVR)
