However, if you want to play the download without GFWL, then do the following steps.

 

Note this is not officially supported by Bethesda, it is provided here only as a work around for folks who do not want to use GFWL. And, make sure you move the files, not copy them.

 

Move the files into the Data folder instead of the Live location it gets placed in. You need to move the ESM (ESP?) and both the BSA files.

 

Make sure you have "Show Hidden Files" checked off, or you won't be able to see the folder.

 

For XP:

 

You can make this change in any Windows Explorer window by going to Tools Menu, Folder Options, View Tab and about 4 options down, under Hidden Files, choose Show Hidden Files. Note, this change will allow you to see System Files and other things that are best not messed with, so you may want to undo this change after moving the file.

 

For Vista:

 

1) Open Windows Explorer (not the browser, the one showing your hard drive etc)

2) Top left corner, you'll see an "Organize" button. Clicky

3) Go to the Folders and Search Options choice, which will bring up a new window

4) Select the View tab

5) About eighth item on the list is Show Hidden Files and Folders. Select Show Hidden Files

6) Apply, OK

7) Do whatever needs to be done

8) Repeat, but select Hide Hidden Folders

 

 

XP: C:\Documents and Settings\Owner\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\Xlive\DLC

 

Vista: C:\Users\User Name\AppData\Local\Microsoft\XLive\DLC

 

NOTE; If you get CTD's when firing up the Simulator, you need to rename the DLC folder, or remove it. This stops the attempt to contact GFWL about Achievments

 

Move them to C:\Program Files\Bethesda Softworks\Fallout 3\Data or where you installed fallout 3 :)

 

If you are using a shortcut to the Fallout executable to launch the game, you will have to use the Fallout Launcher to select the Mod before you load the game. Once it is selected you can then use the executable shortcut to play the game... good luck
