mod help

[corey0cat]

so im starting to use fallout 3 mods (yeah ima noob)

so i downloaded the fallout3 mod manager now

and in it when i open theres a file that says fallout3.esm

i dont know what that is so ill leave that alone.

I've also downloaded the ArchiveInvalidation Invalidated so that should help i guess.

i have a texture mod that i downloaded to change the environment but when i open the file,

theres no .esp file

i heard that that file is needed because i extracted the file into the data file in fallout3

and it doesnt show up in the mod manager to be checked.

I've been trying this out all morning and no answers. :[

 

any help would be greatly appreciated thanks.

If there's no esp or esm, you don't need FOMM. Just unzip the textures/meshes folders into your Fallout 3/Data directory and when it asks to overwrite, say yes. Make sure AII is activated, and also that bInavlidateOlderFiles in your fallout.ini is set to 1.
