The VegasStephen’s Scrubbed series seeks to provide the community with stable and consistent versions of some of the best mods created for Fallout 3.  I have also selected mods that I consider under-rated or hidden gems for inclusion.  You can find a curated list of mods I’ve used within my Fallout Rebirth+ collection located on Next.

Updated Unofficial Fallout 3 Patch (UUF3P) released a new version in October of 2022.  Unless updated, many mods for Fallout 3 will likely override portions of the corrections UUF3P intended to make.  I have updated these plugin replacers to include all appropriate UUF3P version 3.3.2 changes.  In addition, if the mod was dirty, they have been cleaned with Quick Auto Clean from FO3edit to remove disabled references that could potentially cause a CTD or unexpected behavior when used with mods expecting the missing reference.  Likewise, no mods will be released under the series that contain deleted navmeshes that could cause CTD’s or corrupt your save games.



The following mods have had their plugins updated.  I do not include any of the mod authors’ other assets such as textures, meshes, or sounds.  Consequently, you must download the original mod in order to use the scrubbed plugins.  For a full description of what is included, please visit the mod authors’ pages.  I recommend enabling Tracking for this page so you will be notified of new mods added to the hub.

Requires the following mods to be installed prior:

• UUF3P Mod - Latest version is required.

• Original Mod - For the game assets created by the mod author.

• Then install the Scrubbed mod.

Install with your favorite mod manager.  I recommend either Vortex or Mod Organizer 2.  Allow this mod to overwrite the original by selecting to merge or creating a mod rule to load after.  It must load after UUF3P as well.

To uninstall, use your mod manager to remove both this mod and the original.
