TokenBC Posted October 2, 2013 Posted October 2, 2013 (edited) Hello! I bought Fallout 3 yesterday, and decided not to play the vanilla game at all. The first mod I wanted to install is FWE. Before I bought the game, I heard that NMM's archive invalidation doesn't work for every mod, so I downloaded the program version of ArchiveInvalidation Invalidated. I ran the .exe file, clicked activate, and it seemed to work as a .bsa file was created in my Fallot 3 "Data" folder. However, when I attempted to install FWE, a message popped up. It said that the mod isn't invalidated. I tried re-downloading the program with no effect. I also tried NMM's Archive Invalidation. Sadly, that didn't get the job done either. Any suggestions?

M48A5 Posted October 2, 2013 Posted October 2, 2013 What was the exact wording of the message you received when you started to install FWE? Also, are you trying to install FWE with NMM without following Gopher's video?
TokenBC Posted October 2, 2013 Author Posted October 2, 2013 Firstly, thank you for taking the time to read my issue. Yes, I followed Gopher's video. The message is: "Archive Invalidation does not appear to be active. This mod requires it to be activated in order to work correctly.Please make sure to use the Toggle Invalidation feature available on the main form after installing this mod. Would you like to abort this installation so you may do so now?" I'm really getting frustrated. Not an error message or anything, it's simply as if I haven't used archive invalidation.

TokenBC Posted October 2, 2013 Author Posted October 2, 2013 Thank you! Having big, red, exclamation marks on my screen wouldn't have been very pleasing.
BlackRampage Posted October 2, 2013 Posted October 2, 2013 You're welcome. As an aside: Big red exclamation marks refer to missing meshes and have nothing to do with textures and Archive Invalidation.
TokenBC Posted October 3, 2013 Author Posted October 3, 2013 Ah, yes. Thanks for informing me, I'm still new to modding.
TokenBC Posted October 4, 2013 Author Posted October 4, 2013 (edited) I'm afraid FWE isn't working. I followed every step on Gopher's video and it seems as if nothing happened. The FWE in-game menu isn't under the "apparel" tag nor am I noticing any other changes after I leave the Vault.. I'm assuming this has nothing to do with archive invalidation.

BlackRampage Posted October 6, 2013 Posted October 6, 2013 Are you running FOSE? Are all plugins enabled? Post your load order.
TokenBC Posted October 6, 2013 Author Posted October 6, 2013 (edited) For some strange reason, when I started another new game yesterday, it started working perfectly. :mellow: Edited October 6, 2013 by TokenBC
