DSUPERY92 Posted July 4, 2021 Share Posted July 4, 2021 (edited) Hi, I recently wanted to play fallout 3 again, I installed the mods, some fixes and everything else. I start playing the first 20 minutes, I save and go out. Then when I come back and load the save by pressing "Continue" the game stops on a black screen. If I start a new game and load the save, the game loads quietly.Anyone know how to fix? I searched the internet but found nothing.I attach the list of mods. Fallout 3 tweaks guide i used: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2210333885 Edited July 4, 2021 by DSUPERY92 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M48A5 Posted July 4, 2021 Share Posted July 4, 2021 The guide started with some good advice except it did not say anything about having the game installed in the default "Program Files". The Windows User Access Control will not allow you to make changes to any files that are installed there. You will also have to check the Fallout 3 properties to ensure the files are not set to "Read Only". The load order is a mess. Fallout3 must be at the top of the load order with the DLCs in this order: Anchorage, ThePitt, BrokenSteel, PointLookout, Zeta. Then the Updated Unofficial Fallout 3 Patch. If you are using the newest version of UUFO3P, it is not compatible with most mods. If after saving the game, when you go to start it again, do you ever use "Load" and choose your last save? This usually works better than "Continue". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

M48A5 Posted July 4, 2021 Share Posted July 4, 2021 When you go back into the game, have you tried using "Load" instead of "Continue"? Your marts mutant mod plugins DLC Zeta and Master Menu should be loading with the rest of the mmm plugins and before the Project Beauty patch. Did you copy and paste FO3 or did you do a new install?

DSUPERY92 Posted July 4, 2021 Author Share Posted July 4, 2021 (edited) I also did load, trust me I still copied using the steam function. Those highlighted in black don't make me move them I tried to disable all mods but it still gives this problem P.S: I keep remembering that if I create a new save and load the existing save, it will load quietly Edited July 4, 2021 by DSUPERY92 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M48A5 Posted July 4, 2021 Share Posted July 4, 2021 Bold black names are .esm (Elder Scrolls Master) files and are fine. You have .esp (Elder Scrolls plugin) files that are out of place. With all mods disabled and you are still having a problem then there is something wrong with the installation or your equipment. I don't understand your last sentence. You have to make a save before you exit the game. Either a hard save or a quick save. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
