Essential improvements
- Recommended to install outside the default Program Files folder, as it may cause save games to go missing.
- Fallout FIXT patch compilation is highly recommended.
Patch compilation
1024x768 resolution using the Fallout1 High Resolution Patch v3.0.6.
Fallout FIXT
- Patch compilation which contains several essential patches, each of which are described below:
- Simplest way to install the modern patches.
- Optional fan content.
Patches
Semi-Official 1.2 Patch
- Prerequisite for the Unofficial 1.3.5 Patch.
- Recommended over every version of Fallout, as it updates the 'official' Fallout 1.2.
- Includes children patch.
Unofficial 1.3.5 Patch
- Semi-Official 1.2 Patch must be installed first.
- Fixes virtually all remaining bugs.
Fallout High Resolution Patch
- Allows one to choose widescreen resolutions.
| Instructions |

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
sfall1.7zis 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- Most versions of Fallout are censored where models of children have been replaced by adults.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.
