Hey guys, I know I'm waaay late to the game here, and also probably proving to you all conclusively the extent of my stupidity, but I can't find a solution to this anywhere. I'm trying to create a mod that adds some modified items to the player's inventory upon startup. So far all I've got is to make a priority 100 quest with the script: Begin GameMode player.additem ......... 1 player.additem ......... 1 End The quest condition I set in addition to the script was GetIsPlayableRace NONE == 1, which I gather is the sandbox quest condition. Tell me what I'm doing wrong? And some advice on how to fix it would be nice Thanks.

Let me take a stab at this. Have both of you verified that bEnableFileSelection=1 is in the SkyrimPrefs.ini located in your USER directory tree. Which is on most systems something like this. c:/Users/DirectShortToGround\My Games\Skyrim WHere the DirectShortToGround would be whatever name your user name is on that system. IF that fails to work make sure the same ini by the same name in the Skyrim executable dir has the same line entered as well. Which is R:\Games\Steam\steamapps\common\skyrim\Skyrim\SkyrimPrefs.ini Or whatever directory path your system has STeam located in. If that does not work then your stuck in some episode of Twighlight Zone and nobody can help you. Cept maybe the Flying Spagetti Monster. Flying Spagetti Monster not too helpful, but you were! Once I duplicted the SkyrimPrefs.ini file and moved it to my data folder (a precaution whilst I was following your instructions) the problem was fixed, turns out it has to exist in both the common/data folder as well as the MyGames/Skyrim folder and for some bizarre reason it didnt on mine. Much appreciated!

I have the same problem as Hanker, and yeah ive checked my bEnableFileSelection=1 Anyone got any other solutions?

Mods based around armours, weapons, clothing, jewellery and the suchlike are extremely common and, as it to be expected, modders are increasingly finding ways in which they are to be deemed as legitimate within set game parameters and within the tone of the game. In layman's terms, this means they find ways in which to supply the modded items more legitimately. This has led to the use of merchants, more than often in the IC Market District for IV:Oblivion. However, this leads to a problem, as most modders are aware, merchants require merchant containers (except for spells), these containers are, by default, set to respawnable. This therefore leads to the repeated creation of supposedly 'unique' armours, weapons etc etc. This is true of all mods using the supply method of merchant sale and is generally not a problem, it just lowers the rarity of the modded item. However, when enchanted or scripted items are involved more than often having double the amount of a unique item can interfere with both quests, topics of discussion and script effects. Just a precautionary warning to all those first-time merchant modders. Thats all. :)

works perfectly, kudos to you.

Seriously. I have posted this at least 10 times this week.... If you have Vista or Windows7, AND you installed your game in the default directory, then you will never see the mod in the data folder. The GECK is NOT part of the game so the OS sees it as a virus or trojan program trying to change FO3 game files. This is not allowed by the OS. Solution? Pick one of these: 1. Install your game to your Root C: drive. Like C:\Games\Fallout3\ 2. Remove the security from your OS so it can join the XP computer ranks and become a Zombie computer. 3. In your \Fallout3\Data\ folder, look at the top right. There should be a button called 'Compatibility Files'. Click that to find your mod. You can then copy it from there to your Data folder. 4. Run the GECK in Administrator mode. Right-click on the icon and select, Run as Administrator. =============== Now, if you want to install the Fallout3 game somewhere else per #1 above without loosing your current mods you have installed, you can do this: 1. Move your existing \Program Files\Fallout3\ to your C root drive in a new folder that you need to create called C:\Games\ It should look like this after the move: C:\Games\Fallout3\ 2. Rename the folder you just moved in step 1 to C:\Games\Fallout003\ 3. Uninstall the game. Check the option to keep your save game files. This will clear the registry and not remove any game folders because you moved them somewhere else. 3. Re-install the game to C:\Games\Fallout3\ 4. After the reinstall is done, DELETE the just installed folder at C:\Games\Fallout3\ 5. Rename the folder from step 2 above to C:\Games\Fallout3\ If done right, this will change the Registry to the new game folders location, plus keep everything you currently have in the protected folder location. WARNING: If you are not computer saavy, then find someone who is to do the above for you. Or ask more questions. thanks, ill try this out as soon as i get back on the desktop :D

Im sorry but tht makes no sense to me

- the third picture, CAN ANYONE HELP? oh btw, the Vault74 and the Test files are my mods, as you can see they dont appear in the Data files. :@

Okay, I have modded fallout 3 myself a while back, however, i got a new harddrive and once I installed the GECK from besthesda and started modding, my .esp files (basically my mods) wont appear either in the DATA FILES folder on the fallout 3 startup menu or the Data file in my program files, yet i can see them in the GECK load option window, the pictures illustrate my problem. ill see if the 3rd scrnshot can be posted afterwards. i would really appreciate any advice, thanks.
