Tags: Fallout; Fallout FIXTI've always found it odd that despite being widely regarded as the better game among the two, the first Fallout has gotten much less modding love than its sequel. Over the past few years, an energetic young modder by the name of Sduibek has endeavored to change that. Sduibek's Fallout FIXT megamod aims to be the Fallout equivalent of killap's famous patch for Fallout 2. Despite its, ahem, controversial beginnings, the most recent version of Fallout FIXT seems to have largely achieved that goal. Among other things, Fallout FIXT Alpha 6.1 finally provides an alternative "fixes only" installer, for all you stringent purists. If you've been following the Fallout FIXT thread here on the Codex, you'll know that Sduibek has gone to great lengths to ensure that every fix truly is a fix, even going so far as to contact Tim Cain himself for information on his original intentions.
Here's an overview of Fallout FIXT's contents:

That's right, instant mutant invasions. For when the post-apocalypse just isn't "post" enough. Or you can bring back the 500 day mutant invasion time limit that was removed in Fallout's own official patch, to play the game as God and Cain originally intended. Give it a try.- Official Interplay patches (1.1, 1.2)
