problems loading GECK plug-ins

[Culthran]

i've been trying to change the stats of the bb gun at the beginning of the game by creating a new bb gun and putting it in the room where amata wakes you up and trying to change the stats of the bb gun that is already there. after each of these attempts i saved them as a plug-in which was saved to the data folder of my fallout 3 game. when i load the save in the level none of the changes are there.

 

i do have archiveinvalidation invalidated which i have reset after each attempt

i also have a copy of fallout 3 folder that i put the more extreme mods on

finally im gueesing this doesnt matter as much but i have a no-cd patch active

 

id be very thinkful if someone could give me advice

(i have FOMM but it doesnt work correctly ((no check boxes)) so i dont use it)

i've gotten texture mods to work fine but weapon and enviorment changes are a no go

I think the no check boxes from FOMM is a major hint to your problem there. Otherwise, you're going to be forced to go into

to change your mod order around (XP path, not sure where it is in Vista).
