Smosh Posted March 5, 2009 Share Posted March 5, 2009 The quick response is to look at the readme that should come with the mod. The basic answer is that they go in your Data folder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slimjim0511 Posted March 5, 2009 Author Share Posted March 5, 2009 ok, well the m4-a1 didnt come with a Read First type thing, and i have put the file in my data folder before, just the whole thing, but it still didnt come up :\ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PureSnipe Posted March 5, 2009 Share Posted March 5, 2009 On the fallout launcher, click data files, and check the ones you want it to load. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smosh Posted March 5, 2009 Share Posted March 5, 2009 If the mod unzips as a data folder then put the data folder in the main fallout 3 directory. It will then overwrite everything in your existing Data folder. EDIT: The installation for the M4 mod is explained on its download page. Installation: Just extract to your Fallout3 directory No disrespect here but it really does pay to read everything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
