Bethesda’s E3 was loaded with awesome new content that fans were more than excited to receive. There was one anticipated announcement that didn’t make the bill, however, with Fallout 3 Remastered never getting any attention. While sources seemed to confirm fans would be seeing a remaster, no such event ever took place.

While the lack of news on a Fallout 3 remaster may be disappointing, the mod community has ideas of their own. Fan and modder Yeti on Nexus has been working on a retexturing mod that, while not the full-on remaster fans were hoping for, is gorgeous nonetheless. Fans seeking to get their hands on the texture mod can get it here with detailed installation instructions!

If you’re into heavy modding, as many in the Bethesda community are, managing mods can be difficult and adding this texture mod for Fallout 3 could get lost in the shuffle. Here are some resources fans may want in order to manage and keep track of their mods:

• Nexus Mod Manager and Tutorial: The mod manager will download, install, and manage your mods. For those who like to include a lot of mods in their games, this is an important tool to keep track of your mods.
• Fallout 3 Script Extender and Tutorial: While this one is not too important for texture mods, there are some mods focused on performance enhancing that use the resources provided by this tool. If you’re getting serious about modding up Fallout 3, this wouldn’t be a bad tool to have.

Overall the modding community has provided plenty of enhancements to create a more realistic experience in Fallout 3. ProjectRealityMKI is one such mod that touches on everything, and the Megaton Lighting Mod gives a more realistic approach to the ambiance of Megaton. Fans looking to get the game cheap are in lick as Fallout 3 is now available for absurdly cheap during the Steam Summer Sale.
