While the majority of Fallout 4 mods are reasonably small and contained, some of them go far beyond the scope of some of Bethesda’s own official DLC. In fact, one team of modders has taken it upon themselves to port the entirety of Fallout 3’s Point Lookout DLC over to Fallout 4, and the project seems to have just been successfully launched.

As Bethesda fans will already know, the community’s insistence on porting content from older games into new releases is a proper tradition by now, with projects such as Skyblivion promising to rebuild an old game on a new one’s engine. More often than not, these projects either fall through or take a very long time to launch, but Fallout 4: Point Lookout is fully finished, playable, and content complete, according to the modders who worked on it.

This mod is, in effect, a remarkably faithful recreation of the entirety of Point Lookout, featuring the main quest line and all side quests, all NPCs, and virtually all the other content that first came out as part of Fallout 3, recreated with great fidelity. The only adaptations to the narrative relate to the fact that there’s a different protagonist this time around, and modders also needed to hand-wave the fact that 10 years pass between Fallout 3 and 4.

The Point Lookout porting project seems to be effectively finished and fully playable. This is great news for fans of the franchise, of course, but it’s also worth pointing out that this project is related to the Fallout 4 Project Mojave mod, which is attempting to translate significant chunks of New Vegas over to the newer iteration of the franchise. The team of modders is working under the unified umbrella of “Capital Wasteland,” with the implication being that there may be more of these ports coming in the future.

Though Bethesda already has plans for Fallout 5​​​​​​​, it’s unlikely that the game will be coming out anytime soon. Both Starfield and Elder Scrolls 6 should be coming out before the next Fallout game gets its time in the spotlight. But with such a comprehensive and dedicated modding community, fans shouldn’t be too worried about the game’s staying power all that much.

Fallout 4 is available now for PC, PS4, and Xbox One.
