Have you tried running FO3edit to see if there are any problems and also create a merged patch?

WMK only allows a select number of weapons to be modded (from the Vanilla game), so weapons that were added by other mods will not be able to be modded. Hope this helps!

Hi! One of your .esm files (the urban combat armor one) is below .esp files, which might be the cause (well, that is what causes crashes for me). You should shift that with the other .esm files. Secondly, your blackened .esp files needs EVE. You should be getting the FWE+MMM blackened file instead. While you're at it, it'd be a good idea to get the FOIP for FWE and WMK. As MaxxFennig said, Gopher's Youtube channel on how to mod Fallout 3 is extremely useful and informative. It will help you a lot if you can watch his vids. All the best!

Hey guys, so just a quick update. I've been tweaking with more mods (adding and removing), and the issue with followers not going through the gates is still present. One consistent fix is the wait fix, where you just wait one hour and your followers will appear. It's a little immersion-breaking, but incredibly minor in the grand scheme of things, so I'm okay with it. As to the issue of followers having their weapons on their wrists from time to time, Follower Fixer, as recommended by BlackRampage (Thanks, friend!), does help. It even works for custom followers, which is nice! Another bonus is that the mod also fixes the Original set of followers not walking through the gates. So Dogmeat now follows me past Megaton, while I then wait for an hour for Amanda. Thanks again for the input! Hope this post helped others who are having the same issue as me!

I follow Gopher's Modding Videos. So far, it's been working well, no major issues for me. Well, if it is the UFO that's messing things up, then it's easy to check. Start Fo3 without the UFO active and see if your followers will follow you through. Regardless, you might want to get the Updated Unofficial Patch instead. Followers Fixer might fix that problem. These plugins are redundant. Use only one of these, not both. Weather/lighting mods should always be placed all the way at the bottom of one's load order. Thank you very much for your advice! I had just updated the patch, and am getting followers' fixer. In the meantime, I'll post another way of getting around the followers not following the player through doors problem. If you wait for one hour, they'll appear! It's not perfect, but it's way better than frequently clicking three times to get them to move!

So I've been playing Fallout 3 again to try out the "Ties that Bind" mod by thefourwings, and have installed a buttload of other mods as well. Now, I've never played with followers before (not even Dogmeat, and only briefly with Fawkes), so I never really came upon this issue until now. So, during the course of the quest Ties that Bind, you have to go through the Paradise Falls gate with Amanda, the mod's NPC, however, she doesn't follow me through the gate from Paradise Falls to the Wasteland when I pass through it. I had to tell her to head to another location before she can pass through the doors herself. The same issue happens at Megaton. We can enter both Megaton and Paradise Falls with no problem, but she won't follow and stays at the gate on the other side if I exit. At first, I thought it was just a bug from a really new, only recently released mod, and that I could live with the minor need to tell her to exit manually... But then I recruited Dogmeat, and he had the same problem too. He would enter Megaton, but not exit unless I tell him to head to Vault 101. So I went scouring for information around here, and only found a short mention that the Unofficial Patch for Fallout 3 may be the cause (something about messing up the navmesh for followers). However, I am reluctant to turn off the patch, since it makes my game so much more playable. My second issue is that NPC's (followers being the main culprit) will sometimes have their weapons in their hand when idling or not in combat. Again, not a huge issue, since I usually just access my followers' inventories and when done, it returns to their holster/back. Still, I really hope i can find a fix for this as well. So, I am basically asking: "Is there a mod that fixes these problems? or a way to edit my current mods to solve these problems?"
