It shouldn't based on the lore. Fallout is hundreds of years into the future. Why should it look like our modern time at all? The bombs drop hundreds of years from now. The Wasteland is hundreds of years after that. Bethesda's entire Fallout design is like if the bombs dropped in 2008 and the Wasteland takes place in 2009 (which is basically Fallout 76).

If anything most of the Wasteland should be unrecognizable.

I know, but there should be a certain degree of recognizability. The National Mall in base FO3 feels for lack of a better term "at home" surrounded by short buildings. For reference this is the real life National Mall, almost no buildings that are even half as tall as the Washington Monument.

whatever good Bethesda produces is by accident

What? How does that even follow? The literal driving force for the look of the game, chosen because of his ability to create a bold, distinctive look, dies, thus robbing them of that key element of the creative process is not indicative of it being "an accident", as in fact it is just the opposite, that the games were the product of a specific cohort of people brought together with very particular intention. The fact that they couldn't replace him and after could not replicate that style, means it wasn't an accident. Would be like saying because the drive shaft is shot on a car, this means that the movement of the car was an accident, retarded.

From what I gather it's an attempt by (some?) modders that worked on the original project to unfuck the Frontier and make something out of it.

Considering they were also the guys that somehow didn't notice or were okay with the sex slave child, feet shit and furry filth, I'm not exactly filled with confidence at this announcement.

The apocalypse in the Fallout takes place in 2077.

As for the games and other media these are the years they take place in the setting:
Fallout 76: 2102-2104
Fallout: 2161
Fallout 2: 2241
Fallout 3: 2277
Falllout New Vegas: 2281
Fallout: 2287
Fallout TV Series: 2296-2297
Click to expand...
Also
Fallout Tactics 2197-2198
Fallout BoS 2208

I feel like with the TV series they are going to retcon chunks of the story like deathclaws being US government experiments before 2077 that escaped in the early games seemed to be alluded to as vault-tec experiments in vault 4 of the tv series.
 
I had a NVHR crash and that seemed to fuck my whole game up. I have no clue what's wrong, best guess is that the crash somehow corrupted my UI or some other vital component as that is the closest I can get to replicating my issue from a google search.
Thankfully, I back up my build after every playthru so whatever broke, I can simply delete and re-download all my files just as they were before I started my current playthru. Let that be a reminder, if you don't backup everything regularly on your own drive, rather depending on fresh installs from Steam or some other service, one of these days your game might completely break and you will have to start fresh. You never know when it happens, might even come from a random update and then you're fucked.

Anyways, when searching what might be wrong, I came across a post on TTW forum. Let's see if I can chime in-

Oh, looks like the forums are closed and you have to engage with their discord circlejerk if you want to ask any technical questions, lmfao
Before you ask, the post in question was a mod that was deleted, as Roy is a spiteful cunt and deleted vast majority of mods people posted except a few that were released for the newest version of TTW(the one that's unbalanced and broken and people generally tend to not like). If there was a mod that you were looking for and you didn't back it up, tough shit it might be gone period. I was looking for Darnified UI to confirm if this was a HUD issue in my case, and what do you know, nobody bothered to upload the file on Nexus! Sure, there is extensions to the mod, but the original would be lost to time if it was only uploaded to the TTW forums as the file was removed. In case you're wondering, the file is still on Game Banana, but only because this was a popular mod back in the day. If this was something more obscure? It would be gone forever.

I pity anyone who is only getting started playing this game now. There is so many mods that are gone now, others are locked behind circlejerk discord servers, you have to depend on packs someone else arranged for you and who knows how well these even run, and god help you if some technical issue pops up and you don't have 10+ years of dealing with Gamebryo under your belt. BTW, if you want to get started modding the game, tough shit as the official wiki with documentation is gone and has been gone for god knows how long now. You have to depend on fan-made tutorials, which vary heavily in quality and information provided.

Every time I think about trying TTW I just remember stuff like this and my interest instantly dissipates. At this point despite all its flaws I would rather play vanilla FO3 & NV then deal with crap like this.

Turns out that my build that worked 100% before now doesn't fire up. I have no clue how it happened, so I can only assume that there is an ini file somewhere for one of the NVSE plugins or NVHR that screws with the game or maybe even a registry file that got corrupted related to the game.
Yeah, considering how streamlined gaming got, I don't know how anyone can even begin to get started with modding this game if even I am having technical problems with it.
Might just have to do a fresh install in the first time in 10 years and add content back in one mod at a time, to see where the hell things went wrong. I can only imagine how frustrating it would be to try and hunt down everything, so at least that's not an issue.
 
Best of Times (the other VNV guide) doesn't update since last year.
And still mentions the best last version which was 3.3.2a.
Man, is a real shame how TTW became a clusterfuck everybody hates. Maybe there's the last good version uploaded somewhere.

At this point I just take PCGamingWiki and go. I'm too old and busy to care. Some games I just outright avoid now because the hoops I have to go through to get it running just annoys me too much.

Y'know, after playing through the FO games in vanilla I just find peoples kvetching about it to be annoying. The games rarely crash and autosaves are plentiful, no corruptions on my end nor game breaking bugs. Todd was right, all of it just works (TM).

Last good version is 2.9.4b, which was more or less as complete and balanced as it was going to get. Then, Roy got high off the smell of his own farts and figured that since this is his life's work, he might as well continue working on it. This resulted in changes that weren't popular, completely breaking older mods with every release, dependency on YUP that not everybody was on board with, among other fanfic changes like completely fucking up the balance. All this, not to mention generally the mod running much worse than the older releases, that includes more crashes and bugs.
It got so bad that people were demanding newer mods to be 2.9.4 compatible, and Roy got so fed up eventually that he first hid the download section for mods for that version of the mod, then straight up deleted those files. Since then, he told people to update to the newest release and that's that, he never took or even addressed any criticism and now he's straight up not even allowing anyone to contact him outside of his discord circlejerk.

There is links for 2.9.4b out there if you're interested, but good luck finding any compatible mods. Turns out, most people didn't expect the official TTW forums to delete any mods, so barely anybody backed them up. Nexus users, on the other hand, deleted older versions of most mods so you would update, as per Roy's delusional instructions. God knows how much content was lost thanks to that crybaby and his ego.

What exactly makes the latest version the worst version of TTW? besides the creator being a crybaby?

Also what makes the version you listed the best version?

Did you even read my post? I already posted why, on both counts.

Yes, I did. I meant more specifically what makes it a worse version, like I dunno give me some anecdotes as to why it sucks so bad. I just find it interesting and you seem to be in the know about it.

You would have to play both versions for comparison, and you didn't even play TTW from what I can gather. 2.9.4b is more stable, has less bugs, it is balanced around Fallout 3's worldmap and quest design using New Vegas assets(weapons, armor, aid items, reloading workbench) and it has great compatibility with most mods. The later versions took all that and turned it on it's head, not adding much of value in return. It was changes for the sake of changing something, cause Roy can't very well leave TTW alone. He is nothing without it. Same thing is true for any live-service game if it runs long enough, you ruin what's originally there and turn it into a frankenstein monster nobody wanted. Breaking compatibility with older mods and deleting them off the forums was the last straw for some people, Roy is basically forcing people to play his shitty fanfic mod at this point out of spite.
Way I understand it, 3.3.2a is marginally better and more stable than 3.3.3, which I haven't seen much praise for, but even 3.3.2a is worse than 2.9.4b, which is when the mod should have been "finished", only releasing hotfixes if need be.

Edit: I think I found someone with the exact same NVHR issue I have on reddit, but the moderators there removed his posts so I can't tell what his problem was, only replies to it him hinting at his situation. I fucking hate the new lowercase i internet, even if you just want to look for look for advice or support you can't, since it's deleted or people who know how to solve the issue are jerking each other off on discord. You're left guessing unless you want to join the circlejerk and hope these people stop gooning long enough to help you, god forbid these issues and solutions to them are documented somewhere!
Unless I post otherwise, I heavily discourage installing New Vegas Heap Remover, I was warned that it made the game more unstable but I didn't listen. Now, it seems that the game crashing with it active made the entire game unplayable and the only solution is a solid reinstall, this will take me all day.
