BurnTwice

Hi, long time no see ;-) Well, I´m wasting much time roaming the wasteland with a lot of mods and plugins turned on ... That means... it works now! Recently activated Broke Steel and mods work flawless here too. Thanks for helping! With your advices and some digging about the file structure of the F3 installation and where all the stuff has to go almost everything works now. Learning about ArchiveInvalidation.txt also helped a lot ;) Few mods however do not work or not work right. For example F3ProjectRealityMkI caused a freeze and Extravagant Pip-Boy 3000a v1_2 Battery German v2_0-14129 does not work at all, but that´s not too bad. The rest makes F3 look great and more fun! Ah, can anyone recommend a mod making nuke explosions (or exlposions in general) more spectacular? The standard boom goes quite fast, no pressure wave etc. ;-)

Ha! Getting there :-) Looks like installing the unofficial F3 Patch made some things work. Now textures from the nmc package appear. Pretty! Darn UI is also great! Now I will check out pip boy mods, still have to learn about installing stuff manually. Thank you so far!

Update: Yesss, I installed Fellout (looks great) and DLC compatibility package and it shows up in the FOMM window! I can activate and deactivate, change sequence etc. Nice! :-) So, .esp packages seem to work. OK. Other packages like NMC or Project Beauty can be installed via packet manager, but do not have any effect. So I assume they have to be installed manually since scripts are missing? Or is there a way of FOMM hadling it to activate/deactivate, deinstall, etc.? Does it matter how I launch F3 through FOSE, launch directly or through the original launcher? Yeah, a lot of questions again, but getting closer step by step ;-)

Thanks again for your hints! I installed FOSE and yepp, it launches F3 using file/laucnch game/launch FOSE in FOMM :-) So far, so good. I am relieved that basically FOMM runs and that it depends only on the file format for a mod to appear in FOMM window. I will try further and report ;-)

Thanks for replying! :-) I deinstalled FOMM and reinstalled in I:\Games\GEMM, but it still doesn´t work :-( FOMM starts up without any glitches and even remembers the paths to \mods and \install info, but the mods (I have now MTUI and the NMC package) are only listed in the packet manager´s window. In FOMM´s window only F3 and the extensions (.ems - Anchorage, The Pitt etc.) are listed. Also, nothing is displayed in the preview panels. So, unfortunetely there seems to be a greater problem, maybe in my system preventing FOMM from working correctly. As I understand, with New FOMM-640-0-13-21.exe FOSE, ArchiveInvalidation Invalidated!.exe etc. are no longer needed?

Hi everybody! Recently I purchased Fallout 3 GOTY Steam version (download). So, I downloaded the latest FOMM and some mod archives. Mod manager works and packet manager seems to install everything in /data. But...The mods won´t appear in the FOMM list, they remain in the packet manager window. So it´s not possible to change loading sequence etc. When F3 is launched via FOMM, the mods do not work. When launched via provided launcher script, mods seem to take effect (tested only with MTUI for the time being)... Another strange thing is, that neither FOMM nor Package Manager show anything in the little picture frames... I read all the posts about installing mods, but I can´t find any solution. Strange, since it seems to work out for most of the people here... FOMM is installed in /steamapps/common/Fallout 3 GOTY/ I´m running WinXP SP3 Any ideas? Help is appreciated since I am starting to get mad after hours of trying ;-)
