This thread aims to be a comprehensive list of known Fallout 3 modifications.
If you post an announcement in this thread and/or send me a PM, your mod will be added to the following list - complete with website-links, download-links, and a small description.
Any releases/status changes should be brought to my attention by PM, or posting in this thread.
Please refrain from discussing modifications in depth here, however, as that would mean this thread would get way too cluttered.
Gameplay
Completed
No Magical Enchantments on Armor: Removes all of the magical enchants on items (i.e. 1 Luck, +1 PER, +5 Science, etc). The only armors not altered are the Lucky Shades and ALL Power Armors. [Download]
Big Guns Strength Requirements: This mod adds minimum strength requirements to all Big Guns (>=7) [Download]
Realism test: Mod for added realism. Modifications are as of now relatively limited, for lack of CS. [Download]
Remove Bobblehead effects: Removes the effects that the bobbleheads in Fallout 3 give. Does not work retroactively, but will work with any saved game. [Download]
Level Cap Increaser: Increases your level cap to 30 or 40. BEWARE: if all your skills are maxed, you might get stuck in the leveling screen. If this happens, enter the console and type "closeallmenus" to continue playing. [Download at link]
No God mode VATS: Makes the player take damage in VATS, and can optionally reduce the amount of damage player does to enemies in VATS. Values can be changed from 50% up to 200%.
Weight mod: Rebalances the carried weight system in the game. Makes it so that higher strength will enable to you carry more than the vanilla game (with 10 Str you can carry op to 350); and that low Str characters will not be able to carry as much as in vanilla. [Download]
Slower Item Degradation: Reduces the rate at which items degrade. You can choose between 50% and 70%. [Download at link]
