Problems with Item Mods

[Marogthor]

Hey, everyone! I'm new to these forums, so forgive me if this question has been asked before. I've had this problem before, especially with the mod "Kikia's Equipment" (it adds in a new shop with a bunch of new items) but it's shown up in other mods in the past. The basic problem is this: the new items can be bought and used, but when they're supposed to be visible in-game, they're replaced with a giant red diamond with an exclamation mark in the center. I do have FOSE if that helps at all. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated!

This is the result of an improper installation. You are getting the error symbol for a missing mesh. Open the copy of the mod that you downloaded and check the file paths and make sure that the mod files were installed to the proper locations in the Fallout 3 Data folders. If you open the Mesh folder and see another folder labeled "meshes", the mod did not install properly.

What if I use FOMM to install mods? Will that help?

Which of the 2 files from that mod did you download? KikaiEquipment V2 is the one you should download.

 

The other one only contains a .esp, nothing else. My guess is you've downloaded the top one. Sure would explain the missing meshes.
