Help installing mods

psclops - your mod guide is great but the problem arises because you mention putting the game into possibly the D drive. This is assuming that the D drive is NOT the cd/dvd drive but instead a separate partition like the C drive. For those with little or no understanding of computers or a basic shelf bought computer they will only have a C drive and the D drive will be the optical drive. Basically what I'm trying to say is that it will confuse newbies (as is the case here).

 

Thanks for the help. I read that guide and i thought by putting it c:\user\documents\my games\fallout 3 that would solve the vista problem with the default path. your guide suggests d:\ on my machine that is my dvd drive, with my limited understanding i thought you couldn't install things to that. I will try an uninstall and reinstall to the D:\ drive and let you know if i have any luck. :edit: I am trying to reinstall it in D:\games ect and it informs me that it is write protected and cannot be used. sorry for my lack of understanding is there some way i can install it on c:\ or do i need like an external drive?

 

You cannot install a game onto the D or any drive if it is your optical drive ( the one your CD/DVD's show in) which it sounds like it is.

 

When you go to install Fallout it will say it's going to install in something like C://Program Files/Bethesda/Fallout3

Vista might be something like C:\Program Files (x86)/Bethesda/Fallout3

 

When this prompt comes up just delete the Program Files part so that it reads C://Bethesda/Fallout3

 

That is now where your game will be and mods need to be put into C://Bethesda/Fallout3/Data folder.

 

Hope that helps a wee bit.
