Sfall
- There is some confusion about Sfall for Fallout. No version of Sfall works or has been developed for Fallout, only for Fallout 2.
- A version called 'Timeslip Fallout Engine Tweaks v1.4' or
sfall1.7z
is buggy and does not work properly on Fallout.
- The developer Timeslip has stated: "There has never been a fallout 1 version of sfall. The mod that was available that shared the same name was not sfall in the fallout 2 sense, but mostly just a glorified fix for the black screen issues. This can now be accomplished more easily, and with less restrictions on which version of the fallout exe you need to use, with the resolution patch."[1]
Remove censoring
- Most versions of Fallout are censored where models of children have been replaced by adults. This can be fixed by various unofficial patches.[2]
