I haven’t played fallout 3 in a long time. New Vegas I’ve played over quite a few times. This time I’m doing tale of two wastelands.
Playing fallout 3 in new Vegas game feels much better then native fallout 3. Using the suggested mod kits keep it vanilla but modernize some textures and interface items. I haven’t finished 3 / gone to Vegas yet but I’m really enjoying my play through so far.
More info can be found on their website! https://taleoftwowastelands.com/

and https://salamand3r.fail/texture-guide for his texture guide.
also credit to the VNV team (Viva New Vegas) as I used some of their information as well (like LOD generation) https://vivanewvegas.moddinglinked.com/
Fun note, I am also playing just fine on Linux! (using steamtinkerlaunch) https://github.com/sonic2kk/steamtinkerlaunch
Major props to all the people involved in TTW and the modding community and steamtinkerlaunch for linux, for doing such a great job for the community!!!
