This isn't really my first time modding Fallout NV. I downloaded the mods manually, however there is no 'manual' install method, only the FOMOD file, which I attempt to import into FOMM and either install it or extract it, however I get hit with the error message I mentioned previously. I run all my programs as an admin, because I am the admin and by default I always run as an admin. I know about FOMM, FNVedit, BOSS, Configator etc. However the problem is not in using them, the problem is in bypassing a problem which stops the mod from being installed or extracted in any way.

Hello everyone. I am currently experiencing a problem with Nexus Mod Manager. I get an error message whenever I attempt to install mods downloaded from the NVNexus. Mods that I am currently getting issues with are the following: CINEMATECH The Directors Chair The Mod Configuration Menu Project Nevada Project Nevada Extra Options Radar Mod The Weapon Mod Menu Ohud it generally seems to be certain mods useing visual UI installers as part of their activation process. Usually I get an error saying that the mod could not be installed. The only specific detail I get is from the Mod Configuration Menu: "Menu install failed. Cannot access menu files. Try using FOMM or changing firewall/UAC settings." I have already disabled UAC and I added Steam, New Vegas, NMM to the exception list, however the problem still persits. I have also tried manually downloading the file, extracting it and adding it to the NMM...with no improvement. I have also made sure all folders and files related to new vegas are not set to read only. The installation director (via Steam) is not located within the normal program files area but in the root F drive directory. The problem however remains. Searches via google have lead to no helpful advice to fix the problem. Some people suggest using Fallout Mod Manager. However that also has its own problems, when attempting to add FOMOD files and install some FOMOD files, I get the following error: "Something bad seems to have happened. As long as it wasn't too bad, a crash dump will have been saved in.." yadayadayada. This has made me hit a major brick wall in my modding, two whole days of installing and sorting other mods may be a waste if I don't fix this. I would really appreciate anyone who could help.

Thanks for your suggestions. I already suspected that Fellout was causing the problem, but even after deactivating it the game still crashed at similar instances. Furthemore I do have a quad core CPU. I have heard of this issue..but from what i have heard its only when the game cannot even be started. What I have done was changed the load-order around and deactivate some mods. Fallout Weapons Enhanced appears to be....not causing it...but enhacing it...since deactivating some FWE.esp files..more specifically: EWE Supermutant Energy Weapons.esp EWE Load Order Fix.esp This has not stopped the freezing..but it is MUCH MUCH less common, the freezing has become a rarity. I have placed iNumHWThreads=2 in my Fallout3.ini just to see if that helps some.

Hello all and happy vault dwellers. I have recently reinstalled my Fallout 3 game on my new Windows 7 system. When I first started playing the game was really stable, but I loved all the mods I used to have for the game, so I downloaded a lot and installed them, now the game freezes every so often. It is not a CTD (as far as I know) all that happens is that I'll be walking along or doing something and the whole game will freeze (but the sound will continue to play fine). This usually occurs when entering or exiting a new area in which case the loading screen goes to a completely black screen..but it is not limited to that as I have had it freeze while moving about the world. I will also state that upon exiting from fallout to either the main menu or the desktop causes Fallout 3 to crash and windows deliver an error report (while the fallout 3 window goes to a blank windowed mode) I'm not sure if it is a particular mod that is causing it. I've investigated wtih FO3edit (although I'm not very familiar with it) and I cannot see many problems. Furthermore the auto order on the Fallout Mod Manager has ordered mods appropriately...I have Fallout 3 version 1.7 with all the DLC installed along with the mods in the following load order: [X] Fallout3.esm [X] Anchorage.esm [X] ThePitt.esm [X] BrokenSteel.esm [X] PointLookout.esm [X] Zeta.esm [X] CALIBR.esm [X] StreetLights.esm [X] CRAFT.esm [X] xCALIBR.esm [X] EVE.esm [X] EWE Energy Weapons Enhanced.esm [X] CubeExperimental (EN).esm [ ] Vault 101 Revisited.esm [X] Fellout-Full.esp [X] Fellout-Anchorage.esp [X] Fellout-BrokenSteel.esp [X] Fellout-PointLookout.esp [X] Fellout-Zeta.esp [X] TheInstitute.esm [X] xCALIBR_override.esp [X] xCALIBRmunitions.esp [X] xCALIBRmunitions_FOSEnhancements.esp [X] WeaponModKits.esp [X] CRAFT - Activation Perk.esp [X] CRAFTable_WMKs.esp [X] CALIBRxMerchant.esp [X] NotSoFast.esp [X] HeirApparent.esp [ ] DogmeatEssentialToken.esp [X] DLC Weapons.esp [X] DarNifiedUIF3.esp [X] bzArmour.esp [X] Fellout-pipboylight.esp [X] vashdeagle.esp [X] classic_shotgun.esp [X] The Peacemaker.esp [X] M1911.esp [X] Zap-Away.esp [X] M1911_Common_Pistol.esp [X] H&K_M8_redlineC64.esp [ ] cxxxv (v1.0).esp [ ] gausspistol.esp [ ] weps.esp [X] CASM.esp [X] Playing With Firepower.esp [X] Auto Aim Fix v1.1.esp [ ] The Pitthouse.esp [X] Magsniper.esp [X] LightSaberMod.esp [X] AQFH_C_103.esp [X] IntoTheDeepWoods.esp [X] PLweightadjust.esp [X] AReasonedArgument.esp [ ] D.C.
