Can you please put forward your suggestions for good quest mods for me to install?

I have completed the game and every DLC and a few quests, but I find searching for new ones a pain and a bit confusing.

Thanks guys !

You know what i reckon i and the community would enjoy one xtra long quest mod that has a lot of time put into it for exmaple the spire from oblivion somthing like that for fallout 3 as i and i suspect a lot of other ppl have finished all the dlc and the main quest and all the side quests so i am becoming extremly bore with fallout 3.

I've been playing The Refuge and it's pretty good. Tricky though. I've never played Fallout 1 or 2 (though I do own both) but the clues are far less and leave you to do a lot more working out which is nice

Puce Moose's mods are great. An Evening with Mr. Manchester is my favorite so far, but I haven't completed them all yet

I would also heartily recommend Arefu Expanded. Not only does it improve Arefu, but there are a some great side quests that come with the mod.

Having trouble finding Eric's pocket watch. Well, I am having trouble finding Eric seeing as it gives you no clues whatsoever to his whereabouts.

This is in regard to The Refuge.

Other than that I am nearly done this one, and it's been very good.

Grabbing Mr. Manchester now !

I liked a small mutant problem and those quests, but I wasn't overly thrilled with the reference to weed all the time. Reminded me a bit of being a teenager and being obsessed with smoking. Not something I would take into Fallout 3.

It's got no shortage of drugs, so why not?

Early on in Fallout (as in Oblivion), it became quite obvious it is an adult game (hence their Mature rating).

I played for a bit, but vanilla Fallout3 wasn't quite doing it (again, like Oblivion) for me. So I ended up on Fallout3 Nexus looking for mods. I had to ask myself, what was I looking for out of the game?

I am a realism/immersion fan. Mods that do that hook me. So do mods that fix broken things in the game. So do mods that expand the world. So I downloaded a bunch of mods.

Then it came to "adult" mods. You know what I mean, the nude body replacers, the prostitution, drug, alcohol and other mods of that nature. "Enhancements" to Moriarity's, Paradise Falls, addiction mods, etc. So again it was back to the question of what I wanted out of the game.

Realism and immersion always win out for me. I know that the adult mods are predominantly male player oriented (and from numerous posts, some very immature males), but in asking myself the realism/immersion question, I found the answer to such mods by asking myself another question:

What would a woman face in a post-apocalyptic world?

Do I "like" the answer to that? As a woman, no. As a realist, I know gender-wise we'd lose all the protections under law that women enjoy now; and that even with such protections in place, exploitation of women is still common today. So it is "realistic" to acknowledge that it would be far worse in an environment where social order has by and large vanished. So I downloaded and installed a lot of the adult and obviously male-oriented content. Because that's what kind of world it would be. So realism/immersion are enhanced. All the seamy aspects of humankind that would be more prevalent in such an environment.

For me installing something like DIM TYPE3 and Breeze's, mods that emphasize alcohol and drugs or other aspects of humankind's moral frailty is a minor point. It all adds to the immersion factor of Fallout3, but isn't the focal point for me -- it merely sets the backdrop of the world environment. If someone finds nudity, strippers and interactive hookers the focal point of Fallout3 ... well, they've got issues and I'm not a certified shrink.
