Hello, c/FalloutMods. March seems to have snuck up on me, and so I present you with our second Monthly Modding Megathread! Feel free to discuss armor mods that you love, or have simply struck your fancy. Below are a few recommendations by myself to start you off.

Fallout 4

One modder who I just cannot escape finding in my mod lists is Niero, and especially their 'CROSS' series of mods. And in my opinion, few come close to their Institute armor designs, such as their CROSS Institute Expeditionary Suit

For those of you with a more 'vanilla' persuasion, we've got you covered with modders such as PrincessAries, who has made a beautiful set of armors by putting together pre-existing meshes. I personally quite like the Minutemen Enforcer Armor which implements some armor from Fallout: London in a vanilla-friendly design.

Fallout: New Vegas

If you're like most New Vegas players, there's just something about the older games that appeals to you, and it seems no one would agree more than TPOl7uHKA, who has made beautiful redesigns of classic armors such as their Classic Brotherhood Combat Armor. If you are modding Fallout: New Vegas, I cannot implore you enough to give these mods a look.

And finally, for a blast from the past, Sweet6Shooter has created a fantastic re-implementation of nivea's wonderful Spice of Life armor collection. Using New Vegas' over decade-long learned lessons and innovations, Spice of Life Overhaul is absolutely worth your eye!

And that's going to be all from me tonight, folks. Please feel free to discuss any mods you want heard, and I'll be seeing you next month. :)

Heydon has released a new video in their 'Webbed Briefs" series, come check it out, and support video content off of YouTube!

Given the recent Proton controversy, I imagine quite a few people are trying to jump ship on their services. I myself was already in the process of something similar for different reasons, and looking over the services I believe addy.io to be a better fit for me than simplelogin (or Eforw, which I haven't heard much about in general, but I have a membership with) And so I would like to ask the community here about their thoughts and experiences of and with addy.io

If you're able to explain their ownership structure and the like too, that would be appreciated, given that proton is a non-profit, which is an upside for it.

'Disposables' isn't a perfect term, but essentially I refer to things such as underwear, toilet paper, tissues, and other such things that tend to have a lifespan of either one use, or one person.

I am fortunate enough to have been insulated by the possession of many things from youth, but as the years go by things begin wearing out or needing replacement, and eventually that safety net will fade, so I would like to ask from the zerowaste community, what is your approach to common things that are typically used to short lifecycles?

Welcome to the very first Monthly Fallout Modding Megathread! This one is going to be very general to kick this off, given the small community here. And so a question is left to you; what mods or modding projects would you like to promote, or even request? Any contribution is welcome, big or small!

Underwear is one of the things that I struggle to use second-hand, and I'm not sure if I intend to change that (lest some nowaste people teach me mystical ways and methods :P) But the fact is that I can only use what I've got currently for so long, and so I turn to you.

I am not looking for specific reccomendations exclusively, and the type of underwear (underpants, brasseries, undershirts) are all welcome for discussion! But I'm hoping to find advice which will help me find something that will last, and to a decent standard (i.e, don't use polyester socks, due to smell).

So please lend your advice for finding Bras, Briefs, Bobbysocks, and Bundershirts!

EDIT: Also advice on what materials are better suited to different climates is also well appreciated! (I tend to leave my posts personal detail agnostic so they can serve as resources for others :))

I find it my solemn duty to inform you all about a little blog on the internet, that being paeantosmac.wordpress.com

I personally read through it at least once a year, and it's an interesting read on an older game, I recommend trying it out!

Hi there, I came here to the BIFL Lemmy out of suspicion that the reddit posts are just unlabelled marketing, and I was wondering the possibility of sourcing goods that are more to a BIFL standard? In my area, second hand goods tend to be really quite poor in quality (reselling fast fashion) or otherwise not present, and I have not inherited anything that does last. So I would apprecite advice or reccomendations for finding goods at a BIFL standard. I was also wondering if maybe there would be anyone with good advice for finding sustainable, local textile production so that I may be able to tailor what I need without having to buy from the poor selection aforementioned, does anyone know of any of this?

TL:DR I am suspicious that a lot of what is claimed as 'BIFL' has been enshittified, and would like advice on being able to search for sustainable goods for a local area (not specified because I'm hoping for advice with searching, not exactly for specific reccs)

@[email protected] and I have recently created an official community Fallout space on Matrix! We are still early in set up, but if you're interested in helping us build a community here on the fediverse, please do join us!
