So I ask that anyway downloading this go, download and endorse RH_Ironsight ( Link to mod page) as believe it is a historical event in the evolution of modern Fallout modding, and a prime example of how mods can shape future installments in the Fallout franchise. Many people have said that this mod make RH_Ironsights obsolete, and maybe so. Though it wouldn't until later that this mod would come out and finally give Fallout 3 the same quality Ironsight Vanilla FNV has. So when lStewiel backported the FNV Ironsight system, I was excited of the prospect of what could be done of the Ironsights in Fallout 3. I also started noticing the difference and compromises RH_Ironsights had to make to exist, such as the shrinking changes made to the Laser Rifle mesh and animations, one of my all time favorite weapons of any modern Fallout game.

OF course I understood that it was just a mod in comparison to an actual game made by people with access to the source code of Fallout games and other tools. Though after playing FNV I found the implementation clunky.

I have personally used RH_Ironsights in my Fallout 3 playthrough ever since I found about Fallout modding. True Ironsights in FNV not have ever happened without RH_Ironsights existence. The mod added Ironsights to all the Fallout 3 weapons, and was so popular that it forced the next game in the Fallout franchise Fallout: New Vegas (FNV) to add a proper Ironsight system. With certain weapons, If you try to shoot immediately after lower iron sights, the gun will be in a DOOM-esque viewmodel position until you aim and un-aim iron sights.Īs many of you may notice one of the most popular mods for Fallout 3 is RH_Ironsights. When walking while aiming down sights and only firing a two-hand automatic gun once will misalign the sight below the crosshair. Some mods that change Plasma Rifle, Plasma Pistol, Laser Rifle, Laser Pistol textures. LStewieAl Tweaks (True iron sights enabled) No need for any animations from Fallout New Vegas.

if it makes any difference, I have the retail GOTY edition of Fallout 3, not the Steam version.Adds iron sights to vanilla Fallout 3's weapons, including energy weapons. Sorry for the noob questions, i'm just trying to get a grasp on what seems to be a very deep modding community for this game. If anyone could offer some instructions for installation and possibly some recommendations on other mods/utilities which I should check out, I would be most grateful.

On top of that, I don't even know how to install mods themselves. Click to clear the check box 'Hide extensions for known file types'. In the Advanced settings list, enable the point 'Show hidden files and folders'.
My problem is that I have no clue what to do with these files/how to install them and make them work with the game. 'Computer' ( on Win7: hit < Alt > if the menu bar wont be shown on top of the window ) Go to Tools -> Folder Options and click the View tab.Right now I have downloaded FOMM and FOSE, which I know are essential for most mods out there. I always hear people talking about how awesome the mods are for this game and how they really expand the experience, but i've never actually gotten around to installing any myself. Haven't played the game for about a year now and just installed it again. Hey guys, new to the forums but i've been playing Fallout 3 on PC since it came out.
