High resolution patch (666kb)
Untested by me. Extensive engine hack to make the engine fully scalable to any resolution, and calculates positions of all elements of the interface for desired width and height. Also adjusts sound positioning, fixes a number of UI bugs and disables sprite mirroring (if used without the UAP).
Features:
* All elements of the interface perfectly centered.
* No custom graphics and no upscaling/stretching.
* Full compatibility with any mods that are based off the 1.0.7.4 version.
* Full compatibility with older save games.
* Improved Compact UI. Can now be accessed anytime by pressing F10.
* Optional larger dialog and logbook fonts.
Warning: There are several quests where the 'aggro range' for failing the quest is based on whether it is drawn or not. If so, then you will encounter quests that are impossible to complete as you can't get close to the target without triggering 'guards'.

Fallout 2 Mod Roundup
A collection of mods, tools and fixes selected by the ModDB community, adding campaigns, quests and conversions to Fallout 2. I do not recommend the Restoration Project, as it adds elements to the game that are of low quality and break the game's continuity, such as a low quality talking head for Cassidy and poor implementation of Sulik's tribe and sister quest.

ArchiveInvalidation Invalidated WARNING - File was unavailable at 6-June-2010, been reported.
Eliminates the need of ArchiveInvalidation.txt by adding a dummy texture BSA to the start of the BSA load list. This stops Fallout 3's ArchiveInvalidation from running on its main texture BSA allowing any texture replacements you have to work automatically without the need to do anything ever again.

Adds rather fantastic looking rain and snow. Snow in particular feels dramatic in the fallout world.

It's weird that the world is tinted green when it's been 200 years since the last bomb fell. Gives the world a harsh look reminiscent of the Sahara Desert by removing green tint everywhere, including indoors. Includes Atmospheric Sun Glare by LadyDeadlock, used with permission.
Side by side screenshot

Adds lights and FX beams (some flickering ones too) to most of the street lights and signs in the DC ruins. Works great with Fellout which has darker nights.

Beautiful Monster Redux
A reskinning of the Torreador male.
Brujah Release Pack
Replaces the Brujah female in the game, all armors have been created. Based off an existing model. Over 100 hours of work here so hopefully no bugs (other than the trivial ones already in bloodlines).
Gangrel Female Addon (1.53MB)
Reskin for the Gangrel female.
P&P Mod v3.01 (Download link is about 3/4 the way down the page, and can be easily overlooked.)
Changes the game rules to be more like the original roleplaying game from White Wolf. Several skill synergies are different, many disciplines have different costs and durations, there are several new clans to choose from (as well as the originals), and everyone gets an extra discipline at character generation. The only downside I've seen is that Jack accuses you of cheating in the tutorial - say you're using a mod, though, and it continues as if nothing was different. (Review by Cybes) Includes 16 new clans.
P&P Addon
Alters every weapon in the game to do damage equivalent to its P&P incarnation. This makes combat deadlier for both you and your opponents.
Clan skins
16 male and female models for 8 of the new clans in the P&P mod.
VTMB Compmod (174.07mb + 424.8kb)
Untested by me. A remarkably professional looking mod that adds:
- Recruitable NPCs with customisable outfits - to travel with you and aid when possible.
- Ability to possess your traveling companions and use their special abilities from afar (if desired).
- Ability to embrace select human companions later in the game.
- Place party members around your haven in an assortment of animated poses
- Supports installable outfit packs.
- Access to secondary traveling inventory through companion dialog.
- Over 250 dialog responses were crafted from existing audio to support new transition conversations with companions.
