Most likely, you installed FOSE with FOMM, and now you have a "fose_v1_2-beta2" folder in your root or data directory, instead of having the FOSE DLLS, and FOSE_Loader.exe in your Fallout 3 ROOT directory. You are correct, that is exactly what I did. Thank you for the help. I didn't think to look inside the .zip file before running it through FOMM...

Yes, that's the FOSE version I have. GOG games install to a default folder c:/gog games, when I checked some of the Fallout 3 install folder were read only. I'll give it a go now and see if it works. Thank you for the troubleshooting advice. EDIT: Nope, still getting the same error. I'm going to try removing all other mods except those two to see if that helps. EDIT: Dangit, same thing. I'm going to do a clean install and see what happens.

Fallout Mod Manager, acquired here on Nexus. I did not try that. I searched for some help but all I really found was to be sure I have the most recent version of FOSE, which I am fairly certain I do since I just downloaded it today. I'll give the console command thing a try. Yes, FOSE is in the Data folder where it belongs.

Every time I launch I receive a message stating Wanderer's Edition requires FOSE. The first time I tried to play I did not have FOSE but I then downloaded the most recent version and it is showing as active in mod manager however I am still getting the message. Is this common and Wanderer's Edition will still load or am I doing something wrong? EDIT for clarity: I am running the GOG edition of the game. In mod manager FOSE shows as active in package manager but not in the main window with load order, I don't know if that is relevant or not. I'm pretty new to FO mods on PC since I have always played these games on PS3. Thank you for your help. EDIT update: I saw this same issue discussed on reddit so it seems to be an actual issue and not just my own inexperience. It also appears to be a pretty recent thing from what I gather.
