How to use this database
- Pick a category. Tap a chip such as Models and Textures, Gameplay Effects and Changes, Weapons or Armour. This opens the full database filtered to that category.
- Scan the top 100 table. Each row shows the rank, mod name and author, category, downloads and endorsements. Endorsements are a useful second signal. A mod with fewer downloads but strong endorsements is often worth a look.
- Search or visit the source. Open the full searchable database filtered to Fallout 3. There you can search by name, filter by category or source, change the sort order and read each author’s short summary in quick view. When you find a mod you want, follow its link to the official Nexus Mods page. Downloads happen there.
About the data
We track up to the 400 most-downloaded Fallout 3 mods on Nexus Mods. The data comes from the public Nexus Mods API (v2 GraphQL) and is refreshed weekly, so rankings shift as download counts change. We leave out adult content, cheats for online play, piracy tools such as cracks and DLC unlockers, and injectors. Mod names and summaries belong to their authors. We list them and link to each official mod page, and we don’t host any files.
