sfall VS Fallout2_Restoration_Project

Fallout 2 - Install Sfall or the open source re-implementation for a better experience. Install the Restoration patch if you want additional content.

For Fallout 2: For Both I suggest either Restoration Project Updated*, or updating Sfall. Sfall features a lot of QoL features (that you can toggle), such as quicksaving to individual save-slots, and a bunch more save-pages. In Fallout 2(and to an extend Fallout 1) you really shouldn't save in the same slots, as save corruption is not an unkown issue.

Sfall - Engine modifications for Fallout 2 - Improvements include: Better modern OS support, bug fixes, quality of life improvements, highlight button, party member control etc.

Enable Container Highlighting - essential for modern play - with [SFall 4.3.3])https://github.com/phobos2077/sfall/releases) (or at least v 3+). Your Steam or GoG game already comes with SFall, but the newer version lets you use your Shift key to spot potential loot. The SFall ReadMe gives good, clear instructions.

Data updates from RPU, sfall, IElib, IESDP.

u/SheriefFarouk you could share your code with the Sfall devs, so that the Dx10/12 stuff can be implemented there as well.

Updated restoration project link in case anyone wants to give it a try. Also the talking heads mod on nexus is very good

You will want to use et tu for Fallout 1 and Restoration Project for Fallout 2 as they both include a bunch of bug fixes.

For fallout 1 use fixt: https://www.nma-fallout.com/resources/fallout-fixt-full-all-fixes-and-mods.8/ and for fallout 2 use Restoration project updated: https://github.com/BGforgeNet/Fallout2_Restoration_Project both mods will (probably) make your save files uncompatible with the game, so you will need to start from zero, I'd recommend reading through both pages. Both mods have a custom instalation which you can select which of the contents you want installed since it also restores cut content, some people don't like those so it's up to you. Also both mods come with sfall, while holding left shift you'll be able to highlight items in the ground and containers, pretty handy

Fallout 2 Restoration Project - This is an updated fork of the original Fallout 2 Restoration Project.

https://github.com/BGforgeNet/Fallout2_Restoration_Project is all youll need for f2. Its still getting consistent updates too so its ongoing support for the game is wonderful. If you ever planning to go back to play f1 again id recommend grabing fallout et tu. It puts fallout 1 in fallout 2's engine which has significantly less bugs. I also recommend gamerpoets guide on installing fallout et tu as it recommends some tweaks that are very good improvements.

I suggest playing the first one with Fixt and the second one with the Restoration Project. Have fun!
