VGUNetwork/FO3Underground is gone so let's re-upload those files!

[iz]

After 5 years, VGUNetwork (Formerly FO3Underground) has closed down due to server costs. This site was mostly known for housing a number of awesome mods for Fallout and Elder scrolls games which contained content ripped from other games. The site had restricted downloads to only those users who were approved ensuring that most of the content was never seen by the general public.

 

I possess only a few mods that originated from that site but I wanted to share them in hopes that others may have more to add, and also because they are awesome and need to be seen by more people.

Yeah, modsforv has the most stuff, there's these too:

This is one of those cases where you better make sure you have the authors permission before you upload it, and even if you do, it's still a no-go if that content is actually *ripped* from another (copyrighted) game as you seem to be saying.

http://www.loverslab.com/topic/27212-looking-for-jack-from-mass-effect/ There is info here on VGU they don't have a database yet but they are working on something.

[greatWolfSif]

Most likely that database will be protected in the same way it was before. 

 

Also, the original post of /v/ is gone. Dunno why. I didn't get to save all the links that were posted so I'm quite upset.

Sad to hear they closed this site.

It was my fav and first site during F3 release ( it was like loverslab for fallout 3 ), I've met lots of nice people there.

 

Sadly I don't have any files from this site anymore.

I'm the Founder from F3U/VGU and have to correct that statement, at least a bit.

 

F3Underground was created, because a few others and me had our....problems with the Nexus Network and wanted to upload mods with ported content.

 

More and more people came and since F3U was hosted on a VPS with limited bandwith, we decided to add the rule, that only people, who had 30 proper posts and were approved, could download, so that our bandwidth wouldn't be used up before the end of the month.

 

F3U grew in time, was renamed to VGU and the 30 Posts Rule stayed. I thought about removing it, after we moved 2 times to stronger Servers with unlimited bandwidth , asked the other Staff Members and the Modders. They wanted to keep it, so we kept it.

 

It was by no means, and I say it again, by no means! a rule to keep awesome mods locked up and only available for a small amount of people. We DID NOT enforce the Mod Authors to only share the mods on VGU and not upload them elsewhere. Most Modders, who released mods on VGU with their own content and/or ported content, decided to keep them on VGU, because they did not want others to leech them and re-brand the mods as theirs. Others also uploaded it elsewhere and posted it on their own blogs.

 

I did not give a damn, if someone came by, got approved, downloaded the Mass Effect CP or Section 8 CP and uploaded it elsewhere. What the other Mod Authors did, that was their business.

 

I now shut down VGU, since it was growing every day, used more and more traffic every day and if noone really decides to donate some money, if we ask for support, or blocks the Ads, then there is nothing I can do to keep it up.

 

Hats off to LL and Nexus, both those Networks are still rolling and I hope they continue to do so.

 

Greetings,

Sorry to hear about your troubles, MaxUnit - obviously LL would happily provide a place for some of those modders' own work.

 

However, we do have rules against ripped content - not to pass judgment, but for our own protection. Following through on all those links from this thread's OP leads to a lot of content that we'd rather not be linking to for that reason (including, I see, even a page that links to a PB torrent of the vanilla game). So I'm cleaning out this thread of the current links, and will require people not to upload/post links to mods that are known to be/contain ripped content from other games, Beth or otherwise.

(Yes, I know we probably have some of that too - we just don't see everything, this on the other hand is a lot of content being linked to in one go.)

 

Also, let's not re-up mods against their authors' wishes if those are known, and if they're not known, re-ups are subject to removal if the author contacts us about that.

Here are the new forums:

Yes some of the files are hidden for now. Please do not reupload any content. For example, I know Dragbody's armors are super popular but he has put a LOT of work into it. Out of respect, don't do anything without his permission.

 

IF anyone has any questions about VGU/VGU mods itself, don't hesitate to pm me.

Well it's a shame, but it's good to know that F3U/VGU isn't completely dead. It deserves more credit than it had. It would be nice to work in conjuction with both sites so that it helps grow them both. What you are looking for here you may not find in VGU and vice versa. That would expand both communities since that's what they are. And you have loyal LL members who are loyal VGU members so it's nice that if I were to go visit VGU I will run into familiar faces. Then again, because this is an adult based mod site, there would have to be restrictions as VGU is similar to Nexus I presume? I forgot what the minimum age limit is to register. So I guess advertising LL there would have to only work with those that tab their profiles as adults. I'm not into networking so I don't know how this could function. I just think working together to keep a mod scene going instead of backs turned like the Nexus (who is ultimately trying to be the number one source for all your mods for all yoru games now) would help each other out in stands of "oh, this site is a bad ass mod site and this other site they promote is another bad as mod site".

 

What ever happens and what ever the case is, I hope VGU gets back up. There are very talented modders there.

 

No need to opinion on sharing their stuff here. I think prideslayer said it the best.

I never got to try any of those exclusive mods besides Halo related mods.  Do you guys mind posting any pics as I'm curious to the work you guys did and only a select few having the privilege of playing with those mods?

Lot of the pictures were lost and must be reuploaded, there were many many nice pictures. As of right now it is best to just to head over the new forum and look at pictures from the mod author. Mass Effect is BIG over at VGU.

 

Yes I remember some Halo stuff, odst, and UNSC marines. I don't think anyone has yet ported over MC's armor from Halo 4. It was requested like crazy but I think it may have to do with the armor being in too high poly for many people to run. I'd have to double check with Drag, since he does every armor from every game.

Cool, I'll head over there to check them out, also let me know if he does indeed port over the Halo 4 armors, my PC can handle those poly's being a GTX 770 with 4GB of VRAM.

The site is growing again. Hopefully most of the stuff will be restored. I only grabbed some stuff that was from the public downloads like the Section 8 and REZ's work. I really wanted to check out the Resident Evil overhaul mod for FO3 and the face masks I believe dragbody did.

Yes we have some of the big time modders back working on Fallout stuff. Hopefully they can churn out a lot of new content soon
