Garfield007 Posted June 25, 2009 Share Posted June 25, 2009 When I try to run my game with any kind of DLC modifications and as soon as I click launch game, my screen goes black and then I am back in windows. The game won't even run.This seems to be an issue with all DLC games and I have all 4 so far. Can anyone please help? Do I need a special program or anything to run those mods? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skotte Posted June 25, 2009 Share Posted June 25, 2009 Did you move the DLC per this thread >How to install Mods for Fallout 3<? that might help you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garfield007 Posted June 25, 2009 Author Share Posted June 25, 2009 I know how to install mods, it is just all the DLC specific mods don't want to work.

Skotte Posted June 25, 2009 Share Posted June 25, 2009 I was just thinking they might work if they were actually in the Fallout3 "data" folder is all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garfield007 Posted June 25, 2009 Author Share Posted June 25, 2009 Ok, that is where I put all my downloaded mods. I have between 10-20 mods running and they all work except for the DLC mods. For example, I just downloaded the weapon tweak mod for Point Outlook and when I try to run it, my screen goes black and it sends me back to windows.

Garfield007 Posted June 25, 2009 Author Share Posted June 25, 2009 From what I read, nothing really would help. BTW I have XP. Did you move the DLC per this thread >How to install Mods for Fallout 3<? that might help you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yossarian22 Posted June 25, 2009 Share Posted June 25, 2009 I guess you using a Fallout Patch like 1.0.15 or even 1.0This outdated Versions cant handle BSA Archives. So youmust extract them or use a newer patch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheOutlander Posted June 26, 2009 Share Posted June 26, 2009 Here's the problem. You need to move the DLC files (usually two bsa and one esm) from here: C:\Documents and Settings\Your User Name\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\Xlive\DLC To your Data folder. You may need to go into folder options and set "view hidden files and folders". If you don't move them you will crash anytime you try to run a DLC dependant mod (ie such as one that changes something in the DLC), because if you let GfWL load the DLC it will load it last (when it needs to be loaded before the DLC dependant mod).
