Original Authors: Kidflash and Temmis

Click the below Spoiler button to see image
Original Author: GloomyJZ
Link to original mod
Description
Adds a 2min 30secs holotape recording regarding the U.S. Senate and the choice for America to exit the United Nations.
The holotape is in the National Archives in the same cell that Sydney is first found in. Look for a desk in the library that is behind the main rotunda.
The voices are done with ElevenLabs, so it sounds as if it's from the original game.
INSTALLATION ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
You will need to download and install the original mod for the sound files. After that, delete it's esp and use this instead.

12. Unique Weapon Redux - FO3
Original Author: funny2018memebigchungus
Link to original mod

To keep gameplay balance intact, this is a purely visual overhaul. No stats have been touched to ensure functionality remains identical.

13. Nut Water Overhaul
Original Author: NutnOff
Link to original mod
Suggested by badiser
Description
Nut Water Overhaul is a nice and beautiful touchup to the waters of the game, unfortunately with NVs water shader it is quite limited. This mod comes with a Plugin (which won't load any water based color, for ENB users in mind). There shouldn't be any performance hit, as the texture is the same size as vanilla, unless you use the INI settings below that affect performance negatively, as noted in that section.
The ESP is not necessary if you only want the new textures and don't care about the water record edits the original author made.
Requirements
Original Mod Assets
Installation
- Download the original mod, install
- Delete the esp
- If you want to use the same water edits made by NutnOff in his NV ESP, download the FO3 ESP from here
1. Fetal Position Skeleton
No ESP or ESM required
From the mod page:
"Humans no longer splay all their limbs out while going ragdoll. Now, they clutch their face or chest and might roll up into a ball."
This mod is very good and gives a more natural position to dead npcs
Installation: Install as normal
Link
2. Better Stand Up Animation
No ESP or ESM required
From the mod page:
"This is a beautified edit of "mt_knockdownfacedown" and "mt_knockdownfaceup" so you don't have to cringe every time you or an NPC wants to get up."
Big improvement when npcs are getting up off the ground
Installation: Install as normal
Link
3. Dramatic Inertia
No ESP or ESM required
Below is one of multiple movement animations added by this mod
This mod might be best for users that play in 3rd person camera. If you use 1st person, you best delete the forward walk with weapon equipped animation. I'll have to find it and post it's name at some point. All the others work very well.
Look at the gifs or video on the mod page to get the idea. Whether it's to your taste or not, It's an impressive mod.
Installation: Install as normal

4. Dramatic Staggering
