Fallout 3 was the 2008 reboot of the beloved late-90's PC role-playing series, Fallout. Now a classic RPG beloved by millions of fans worldwide. The Fallout series went on to spawn two more games, Obsidian's Fallout: New Vegas and the massively-popular sequel, Fallout 4.
The Nova Hairstyle doesn't fit Fallout: New Vegas at all. But hey, the mod is very well made (the import does change the texture of the hair, so it doesn't look too bad at all). I'm adding this mod to my list because I absolutely loved Nova in Heroes of the Storm back in the days before the game bombed and became garbage abandoned.
It's still a great game even 10 years later. With all the DLC content available at such a cheap price, you can enjoy the DC wasteland in all its glory. The huge array of mods available only make it better and more appealing than ever. There's never been a better time to experience Fallout 3, whether for the first or 101st time.

Unofficial Fallout 3 Patch
Page 1 of 2 - Fallout Meme Vegas - posted in File topics: Fallout Meme VegasMeme Vegas fixes many bugs & adds many quality of life changes that improve the game to its utmost potential!Turn your New Vegas into Meme Vegas today! One of the coolest things Fallout: New Vegas introduced was weapon mods. The ability to tweak and improve your weapons with various attachments and improvements helped make the combat more engaging and more varied. This mod adds a similar system into Fallout 3, letting you customize your weapons with silencers, scopes, and more. Mods are almost always installed into your Fallout New Vegas Data (e.g., C: Program Files (x86) Steam Steamapps common Fallout New Vegas Data) Some mods come with separate versions for the DLC for New Vegas, so do not use those esp's or esm's if you do not have the appropriate DLC.
The base Fallout 3 game is known for having a lot of bugs and glitches that have never officially been addressed by its developer, Bethesda. Luckily, the modding community has done a lot of work in creating the Unofficial Fallout 3 Patch.This definitive package includes a wide range of fixes, updates, and changes including disappearing NPCs, armor textures and dialogue bugs. It all comes in one simple and handy plugin, too. Highly recommended for an improved Fallout 3 experience all-round.

Fellout
Although Fallout 3 is considered to be a Bethesda classic, it is safe to say its graphics have not aged well. Fellout is a graphical overhaul mod that removes the awful green tinge you'll find everywhere in vanilla Fallout 3. This mod does this adjustment for both indoors and outdoor environments. Fellout also gives a more harsh feel to the world of Fallout by neutralizing indoor lighting, removing the green fog and changing the look of water. Overall, Fellout is a lighting and weather overhaul that's highly recommended if you're looking for a more realistic-looking wasteland.

NMC's Texture Pack
The only texture overhaul pack you'll need to make your DC wasteland look as sharp as possible. The base game is pretty ugly at this point, let's be honest. This essential fallout 3 mod, although it won't make it look as good as Fallout 4, helps to alleviate this problem a considerable amount by replacing terrain, trees, interiors/exteriors, and most vehicles and furniture with high resolution real-life based photographic equivalents. It also changes roads, litter and paper scraps, and other medium-large sized objects such as toolboxes and chairs. This covers most of the in-game visuals and makes it all look much better.

Games For Windows Live Disabler
Anyone who has played Fallout 3 on PC will know how annoying and obnoxious the Games For Windows Live feature can be. A weird and antiquated remnant of PC gaming's past-life, GFWL probably doesn't even work. This simple and easy mod removes it completely. What exactly does this mod do? It allows you to stop the Games for Windows Live from running in Fallout 3 and prevent its .dll files from loading. This will drastically help reduce the time that it takes for Fallout 3 to startup. It also removes the 'Live' button from the main menu, and unbinds the 'Home' key, allowing you to rebind the key to another useful action instead. A very nice QoL mod.

Fallout 3 Redesigned – Formerly Project Beauty HD
The faces of Fallout 3 are pretty bad, especially in 2019. They all look muddy and bland. This comprehensive graphical mod makes the faces look better, sharper, and less bad. Specifically, this mod re-designs the facial structure of NPCs in Fallout 3 to make them more realistic and to better reflect their personality. In vanilla Fallout 3 there are a lot of awkward skin tones and facial structures included, and this mod completely removes those in favor of the updated ones.

Iron Sights Mod
Fallout 3's minute-to-minute action was never a reason to play it, and it's only gotten worse with age. Fallout: New Vegas added the ability to aim down sights on all guns, which helps to make the action feel a bit tighter and more responsive. Even if you're not a fan of FPS games, you can't deny the convenience of this iron sights mod. What this mod does is it adds centered iron sight animations to most of the vanilla guns in the game for Fallout 3. This mod was supported for a long time by its creator, and many updates were made to improve it over the years. While it is no longer a work in progress, it has certainly improved the user experience for many Fallout players.

Stutter Remover
Fallout 3's engine was never the most optimized. Bethesda's open world RPGs are known for their abundance of technical issues. There are a number of mods to fix some of these issues, but one that you might want if you're getting performance hitches and FPS stutters is this mod. This plugin makes Fallout 3 not stutter as much, and will make gameplay feel smoother and perform better. It will prevent or reduce the impact of issues relating to stuttering and frame rate and will reduce the amount of crashes you may receive as a result of those stutters.

10. More Beards and Moustache Styles
Looking to truly customize your male characters to the fullest?
Then you really need to check this mod out. The original New Vegas game doesn't come with nearly as many styles of bears and mustaches as it should, which makes customization an extremely limited (and often frustrating) process.
However with this mod you'll be able to select one of many fantastic styles of facial hair that will improve your character customization like crazy.
It doesn't matter if you want to look like Abe Lincoln or as an entirely unique character – this is the mod for you.
9. Male Hair Pack
Most of the hair mods that I've come across are usually just taken from other games and adapted to work in the ones I play.
Sims is the main source of hairstyles that I've seen out there.
And while some fit the games that I play, others look just terrible and forced.
The Male Hair Pack mod is made using unique models, all of which were made by the creator of the mod himself, who did them in Blender.
I really love the fact that I get to try out unique hairstyles in my characters, and that they aren't just copy and pasted from other games.
The uniqueness alone makes this pack worth it, but the quality of the design is even better.
8. Asharas Hair Conversion
Remember when I said I hated mods that took assets from other games and put them into another one?
Well let's put that aside for a minute and check out the Asharas Hair Conversion mod.
I'm honestly happy with this mod because it converts the hair assets directly from Fallout 3, so they do fit the game perfectly and don't feel forced at all.
7. Nova Hairstyle
Alright fine. I don't dislike conversions that much.
The Nova Hairstyle doesn't fit Fallout: New Vegas at all. But hey, the mod is very well made (the import does change the texture of the hair, so it doesn't look too bad at all).
I'm adding this mod to my list because I absolutely loved Nova in Heroes of the Storm back in the days before the game bombed and became garbage abandoned by Blizzard.
6. Vanilla Hair – No Shine
A simple mod that does the one task it needed to be done in the game: it fixes the annoying shiny hair that was present in every single vanilla hair that the game comes with.
Gone are the days of hair being unreasonably shiny after you install this mod.
It's nothing out of the ordinary and rather simplistic, but the changes are instantly noticeable if you've been playing New Vegas for a while.
This mod looks super cool if you have some graphic enhancers installed as well. Especially since it makes the hair look more realistic in the environment with better shadows and lighting.
5. Nouks and Apachis Hairstyles
Aha, more hairstyles!
This mod adds a whole lot of additional styles to the game, most of which are meant to be used by female character.
But all of them look quite good in general.
Some of these styles look a bit too realistic for the game (as in, they kind of feel like they're too enhanced for the faces of New Vegas) but hey I won't complain about it. They really look good.
4. Beauty Pack Plus
Holy hell, this one adds a bunch of new things to the game.
Over 150 female hairstyles come in this massive pack of items, plus over 70 styles for males.
Talk about a complete collection.
I know this list is mainly focusing on hairstyle changes, but dude… this one also includes new eyes and textures that enhance the look of every single character in the game.
If you think that you could make a cool character with the right tools, then it's time to prove it.
Here are the right tools – now create a fantastic character and go play some New Vegas!
3. DK Female Face Texture Plus Custom Hair
In order to make this mod work you'll need to download the DK Female textures mod first.
If you have it installed then you've probably come to realize that the mod doesn't support many new hairstyles for the character.
Fallout New Vegas Quality Of Life Mods Xbox One
This mod adds plenty of new styles that suit the character and can be used while customizing her.
Do justice to the way the DK Female Face looks by adding hairstyles that truly suit her.
2. Mojave Delight – Cool Hair Replacer
If you have Mojave Delight installed (a bit NSFW, fair warning) then I really suggest you install this mod as well.
It will allow all hairstyles to look much more natural, enhancing the look of all female types of hair in the game.
The mod adds a bit more brightness to the hairs and makes them shine a tad more.
1. Cazy Hair Resource
All of the hair features included in this mod were originally created to be used by a Sims modder.
But they were turned into Fallout textures and converted into files that could be read by the game. How cool is that?
Surprisingly enough, all of these hairstyles suit New Vegas perfectly. Not something I would've thought but it absolutely gives credence to this mod if you want some of the more realistic styles in your gameplay.
