So after steam has updated itself according to your last photo/image, do not allow steam to update any other games correct? What if those games can't update because they require a reinstall?<<Does it mean I screwed up correct? or is that supposed to happen

Ok reinstalled my games...Now let's start over to the beginning of the instructions...I'm just planning to do all of this stuff on my windows 7 laptop after copying my f03 data and saves folder to it after installing steam on it (Same OS I am using on the rig)<<Doing this so if any mess happens I can uninstall steam and everything with ease..... Now according to the steps, I may have missed #3.....So my mistake on that So for #6 after clickin on install steam, does that step happen after the steam install setup appears? or when its trying to update after fully installing it?

So on step 6, what do you mean for it to stabilize there so it can't update games? also my bro wants to play LOL and Dota 2 on here, so while doing this, will they still be able to play those games on steam with no problems after step 5? Problem: my entire games library requires re-install now? Going back to my previous restore point and going to stop there until we can get this figured out REupdate: OK ALRIGHT, I returned to my frickin restore point just to find that my steam games are messed up and now require reinstall since they won't load at all....I'm really starting to give up on trying to fix this problem and just go back to my f03 backup for the sake of my steam games

Just simply follow directions as I posted. Doing some of the steps right now....Will ask questions if confused with the instructions

Now I only skimmed through it for now and will go into reading into it further when I have time So is there anything I have to do before doing those steps? Like backing up my saves or mods or will that take place during the process So no fiddling with the OS or hard drive but just the game itself?

that 1? Yep that's the one Would like a brief summary of what this does (try your best!)

The second one looks reasonable.... So will I have to mess with the OS and HDD for that one? or will I just have to mess with the f03 files?

Hmmmm....This looks overwhelming.. So far according to your links I have two options 1. fix the load order my mods are in with the tools provided with the first post? 2. follow the instructions listed in the second one for a clean save or something? Not sure about the third one, not sure which one to use to debug my problem But of course back to the blank state, how do I do that blank state stuff? Since my thoughts about the blank state stuff was wrong

Correct. A blank slate is a new game, a cleaned up game with all the trimmings done before hand, nothing left for chance...except faults I find. Clean mods, Original mods and updated ones separated and diagnosed.."viewed" / "Inspected" taken apart and put back together. I don't like weapon mods because there are too many way too many Variables to adjust too. some fose, some not, some made to Enhance game play to make it easier , some made o make the game even harder, too many scripted events killing any progress one might gain...and I eliminate software confusion. to your benefit. "BLANK SLATE" :cool: So in this situation I either 1. create a new profile and rush the game through like hell or level up my character using cheats (console commands) and play on easy to the point where I can easily reach the satcom array nw05a? 2. Or to save some trouble (may not work :ermm: ), create an extra save slot from my modded and troubled profile and then move all of the mods to a different folder including the meshes and textures of the mod, then start up the extra saved slot and see if it crashes? i think the first one might also require me to remove the mods I have.. BTW anyway how can I snip your responses so we can save some extra pages

So according to your steps, increase my health first with some stimpacks and turn off the radio before entering the satcom again? Correct? But what was the last thing you talked about again, about the blank state thingy? All in short, I heard of the program but never used f03edit though it looks like I might need to do so.....So the issue so far is with the rh_ironsights right? I won't mind reinstalling the package for the mod itself

Got the save file here http://www.2shared.com/file/hPKzHzwx/Profile_1_Save_1.html Fill me in now :)

Nw-05a Serious, I mean Serious typo on my part...Will edit that in my title

Found what we did before...As of right now I'm working on some work online right now but don't worry I am sending my latest save file at the satcom nw5a (where it started crashing) to the zip file like we did before while I am working

Would disabling the mods in the FOMM be good enough or should I disable the mods in the data files in the game menu? send to me your saved game file, I'll look into the issue for you. Kitty OH hi you again...I know I have sent you a save file before but I don't know how to do that again (Might need to keep a sticky of how to do that)

Would disabling the mods in the FOMM be good enough or should I disable the mods in the data files in the game menu?

Update: so my game ran fine for 1 minute or so when I switched the original esms to their original order...Then it proceeded to freeze and crash again So should I move the iron_sights esm between the pitt and brokensteel?

Will update to see how its been going Sorry I get frustrated when I don't get good answers these days....

If you are not here to help but just to yell crap at me for pointing finger at the modder when I tried -playing the game without using the mmm (which actually resolved the issue) -Made sure I installed everything correctly (which I did, three times!) -Made sure I loaded imperfection mod before MMM and the author didn't say anything about conflicts with any mods in my list (So I assume there shouldn't be any conflicts) -fixed up my load order to make sure Ironsights mod is listed last (like the mod author stated) and the same thing for the MMM and other tweaks then simply get out, right now your lack of knowledge of posting without helping or giving a solution but instead trying to anger someone shows how childish you are... don't know much about the issue and don't know how to solve it and not bother to help, don't post...Hence there is a reason we have a pm system here if you actually want to talk crap to me I would probably block it since I don't deal with people who just post crap instead of solutions So yeah like I said, I will point fingers at the mod author until we can actually get the explanation cleared out since the issues are fixed without the mod... Oh and if you knew I screwed something up, then simply tell me what I screwed up instead of using that as an insult against my posts :smile: And I am a little infuriated due to the lack of help I am getting on this thread at the same time even after I attempted to fix the load order and all that stuff

Whenever I step into the satcom and hang around for for a minute or two, the game freezes and I have to use task manager to get out, and this only happens in this satcom and nowhere else, I tried hanging around megaton for a bit and it still didn't crash there..... Mod load order: http://imgur.com/Zacpl9W Yes I made sure all of my mod files (the mesh, the textures, sounds everything) was installed correctly and was present in my f03 directory folder Now I created an experimental save inside the stacom nw05a, and now it starts crashing after 30 seconds of that save

So before this topic closes, I'm going to point fingers at the mod creator of MMM

I redid my mod load order here:http://imgur.com/CnIbEYc *Still doing the same thing/issue* Disabled all mods except mart's mutant mod, still doing the same thing Well, it seems like my topic is being ignored heavily even after I troubleshooted, might as well come up with my own conclusions based on my troubleshooting. the issue still persists even after disabling all mods, which more or likely points to the issue being on the side of the maker of the MMM mod not the game itself....I installed the MMM correctly by simply putting the rest of the contents found in the MMM file I downloaded from Nexus into the fallout 3 goty data folder including the fomod folder which the author did not specify what to do with that folder. So far pointing fingers at the mod creator of the MMM. Anyone looking for this thread can do the same until we can get an actual mod to help us with this issue

So what load order should I follow then? So read the installation instructions for all of my mods and make sure they are installed correctly?

I notice that the original deathclaws and radscorpions (non albino) are oddly enough passive and do not attack me for some reason? Mod load order: http://imgur.com/R6Li4DB Yes I did do as what the author of this mod instructed especially the part about waiting 4 days in an empty spot without npcs or creatures This issue persists only when I have the mod on and without it, the original or vanilla deathclaws and radscorpions turn to hostile I also ran imperfection before loading the mod and I am using the file MMM RC61 fomod ready version (putted the fomod file inside the data folder where the meshes and textures are.

Sorry for the long wait....Doggy got sick for a while and have to watch him but anyway where were we? So far I installed the game

So just choose the C: directory in the fallout 3 steam download? Crap sorry for similar posts...Darn website couldn't load after my post and I thought I had to make another one
