Its always the same when CASH MONEY gets involved = be it your best friend or ex wife (lol) - Money CORRUPTS - unless the Mod is a Pro mod undertaken by a TEAM of pros AND fully bug free with support, Fully pro voiced over and Tons a hrs playtime - wtf are we paying for ???? I have been gamming for many many years now and Nexus is kinda a home for me (though be it i am a lurker and downloader only - i do rate files etc but i mostly i stay silent - ON THIS ISSUE I CANT DO THAT !!!! Modding these fantastic role play games is whats its all about - from browsing, downloading and customizing your game - to the equal aspect of making the mods in the first place - ITS A PASSION Those in the COMMUNITIES of different games (which do inter-relate) will surly agree with me that yes we do owe the modders a great deal of Q-DOS (pun intended) and yes if there is a "plz donate if u like" side to it then thats fine by me = BUT making a HOBBY a CASH EARNER is dumb (especially if you cant be community minded and make your mod stable and compatable with other mods) - Seriously if u want to do that then GET A JOB IN THE INDUSTRY - and yes making QUALITY Mods that are compatable and awsum might just HELP U GET THAT JOB !!! All Said and Done I love Nexus - I have been here since its inception - I have never had a bad word or question for the direction/stance Nexus has give us - its not just the downloads its the free aspect of the forums and tutorials and also its the gateway to new modders to ask and learn - its so much more than a site for petty greed bags (that just NOT belong here) - i have seen nublets come here over the years and yep eventually make awsum must have mods, ALL THX TO THE COMMUNITY and Support Given (FREELY) WTF are U MONEY Guys pissed about ??? - get with tradition or GET A FRIKKIN JOB !!!! My 2cents if its worth that :P EDIT: Before I get Flamed - Yes I have been known to use paypal on occasion !!!

OK - I bought F3 on release and played it to death.......so.......Ive been out of the F3 circuit for a bit, Game completed so way OTT - but finally I went out and got the DLCs (notably Point Lookout - havent tried the others yet !!!) I also see that there is patch 1.6 now - seems to be very cool and a definate performance boost. MY PROBLEM......... I also updated some of me Mods....... STRANGE that the game works perfect except that I could not open the trade window with a merchant ???? OK - So Clean install with new Mods and no overwrite of the old...... NOW the merchants Trade screen works but I have now discovered that I cant open Crates, Ammo Boxes or loot bodies - WTF ???? The game makes the click noise and animates the box opening etc but nothing happens and there is no menu screen for what should be in there ?????? I searched the forums but found a lot of mod Jargon and nothing that seems to relate to my issue - so can someone plz help ???? These are the Mods that I run in the load order I use with Timeslips Mod Manager NOTE: Some of these Mods have NO esp - Marked with a star(*) LOAD ORDER LIST 00 - Fallout3.ESM 01 - Eyesaddon 02 - KTs Camera Mod 03 - Vanity Camera 04 - F3 Colour Map (*) 05 - F3 Colour Icons (*) 06 - Mighty Mouse 07 - Moira X3 Caps 08 - PipWare UI (*)\ 09 - Ammo Sorter-End 10 - KaBoom 11 - Less Bouncy Grenades 12 - Quieter Dogmeat (*) 13 - Folowers Hire 13 - Essential Companions and Caravans 14 - Zumbs Darker Sunglasses 15 - The Wandering Ranger (Locker) 16 - DIM Type3 Body v3.5 (*) 17 - DIM Type3 v2 Texture pack (*) 18 - DIM Type3 Raider Texture pack (*) 19 - DIM Type3 Conversions (*) 20 - DIM Type3 Conversions Updated 21 - DIM Type3 Addon Clothes Retail 22 - Arynns Sexy Leather Dress 23 - DLC-1 Anchorage 24 - DLC-2 The Pitt 25 - DLC-3 Broken Steel 26 - DLC-4 Point Lookout My game was installed Clean - and as I dont like the Windows Live I have put me DLC directly into the Data folder (there is no difference if i install DLC where its supposed to go but a slight lag and crappy windows live messages if i hit the wrong key oooops) This how I installed 1) Load/Install Game from Disk. 2) Patch Game with Latest Patch (1.6) 3) Install Latest Version of Fallout3 Mod Manager by Timeslip v1.9. 4) Drop my complete Mod Data directory (Already prepared in advance - saves time for endless installs or problems) with all the Mods in the main Fallout3 Directory and accept overwrite all. 5) Alter the Mod Managers Load order to reflect the list (Drag the files up and down). 6) Use the Mod Managers "Toggle Invalidation" Button to get the archive invalidation correct - to enable all the Mods. 7) Load up Game and make me settings for Graphics, Hotkeys etc... 8) Restart - Play tha Game My Comps a nice PC and can run the game with max settings no problem and my OS is Win XP.....so its very stable So where or what is this problem Im having with Menus ????? WTF Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr Any Suggestions would be greatly appreciated................Thx in advance
