Extract the files “JXP44Magnum.bsa” and “JXP44Magnum.esp” from the archive file “JXP44Magnum.zip” to your PC's Fallout 3 Data directory. The usual locations of this directory are: Steam Version, 64-bit Windows: C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Fallout 3 goty\Data Steam Version, 32-bit Windows: C:\Program Files\Steam\steamapps\common\Fallout 3 goty\Data Retail Version, 64-bit Windows: C:\Program Files (x86)\Bethesda Softworks\Fallout 3\Data Retail Version, 32-bit Windows: C:\Program Files\Bethesda Softworks\Fallout 3\Data 3. Optionally, extract the files “JXP44Magnum - Readme.txt” and “JXP44Magnum - License.txt” to your PC's Fallout 3 Data directory to retain them for future reference. 4. Launch Fallout 3. When the Launcher window appears, select Data Files. The Fallout 3 Data Files window will appear containing a list of files. Click/tap the checkbox next to “JXP44Magnum.esp” to enable it, then click/tap the OK button. The mod is now installed. 3. GAME CHANGES This mod adds the .44 Magnum (without scope) to the game. Previously, only the Mysterious Stranger had one, and Paulson a modified one in Mothership Zeta. Containers and NPCs that spawn with a random Scoped .44 Magnum have an equal chance of having a regular .44 Magnum instead. The .44 Magnum doesn't appear anywhere in the world; it will only appear as a random item. It can be repaired, and be used to repair, Blackhawk and Scoped .44 Magnums. 4. RATIONALE The regular .44 Magnum appeared in Fallout 2 (as the .44 Magnum revolver) and Fallout Tactics (as the 44 M29 revolver) and appears in Fallout New Vegas (as the .44 Magnum revolver), Fallout 4 and Fallout 76 (as the .44 pistol) as an ordinary, obtainable weapon, but only appeared in Fallout 3 in the hands of the Mysterious Stranger, and Paulson in Mothership Zeta. Since it's perfectly lore-friendly, and only required some new Pip-Boy icons to implement as a playable weapon, it seems a suitable addition to the base game. 5. UNINSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS 1. Delete the files “JWeapon44Magnum.bsa” and “JWeapon44Magnum.esp”. The mod is now uninstalled. NOTE: Any .44 Magnums (without scope) you have in your player character's inventory, have placed in any containers or placed in the world will disappear if this mod is uninstalled. If you reinstall this mod in the future, they won't reappear. 6. CHANGELOG 0.1.0 Initial commit. Created the .44 Magnum, and added it to all levelled item and form lists that the Scoped .44 Magnum appears in. 1.0.0 Updated file naming to new conventions. Remade thumbnails.
