If someone could pin this comment to help others that would be very appreciated.

PONY EXPRESS BOXES
(you can ship your loot back to various settlements without having to carry it!)

As a newcomer to TTW (finished FO3 and NV years ago) I was surprised to find one of these boxes outside of Rivet City and upon reading the instructions, it sounds like a great idea...HOWEVER

There is no mention of where the other boxes are or how they work anywhere on the TTW website or reddit or anywhere on the internet. After digging around for a while I found an old TTW forums comment by chucksteel from 2013 talking about potentially adding these boxes as a feature to a mod named TTWInteriors. In this comment they envisioned adding 8 boxes in total to the CW. I then read through TTW changelogs and found this entry in the log for 3.2 (3-2): "Added five Pony Express boxes to the Capital Wasteland (thanks pintocat!)"

>inb4 "why mention it, it works like the Mojave express"
Yes but this is clearly the Capital Wasteland and these boxes have never been in Fallout 3 so obviously people will have no idea these are in the game to begin with let alone where to find them.

I think it would be great to tell new (and old) TTW fans about this feature on somewhere like the FAQ or on the bestoftimes site. Now, I haven't found the other boxes yet but based on the same thread from 2013, the locations might be these: "Tenpenny, Canterbury, Rivet City, Megaton (+ one more)"

Once I've found them myself I will confirm in a reply to this comment.

Oh look, another selfish entitled prick who has zero idea how much self-hosting was costing us, out-of-pocket, for literal years. Eddoursul was kind enough to offer us a home here. Creating an account on a free site, run by a reputable and incredibly skilled modder in the community is so trivial it's a non issue.

If you don't like it then don't download it. Simple as.

Hello! I am getting the "The installed Fallout 3 version is unsupported" message.

I have downloaded the Steam Version Fallout 3 GOTY edition from my steam account with the latest updates from Bethesda.

I cannot get what I have done wrong here. Any ideas please?

Hey, I followed the instructions from this video and the Masters won't load for me so all the ESMs are red. It says in that FAQ that the TTW file should be around 15GB but mine is 1.5GB after it's extracted. Am I missing something?

I appreciate the fast reply! It's weird I tried to cancel and restart the download a few times, and sometimes it gets to 40Mb and get's stuck, and sometimes 100Mb and get's stuck, Should I just leave it be over night and hope for the best?

Can't say, downloads don't normally get stuck, the file has been downloaded almost 50k times only with a couple reported cases. Could your browser or network settings affect speed? Does this happen with a different browser?

I'm on chrome and never had issues downloading anything, and I have a good network/Internet speed, No VPN just an add blocker, Could it be the add blocker? No worries If you got no fix I can just play the patience game and hope it get's there!
