FalloutDude15 Posted November 4, 2009 Share Posted November 4, 2009 I've been putting a lot of mods onto Fallout 3 and I've had no trouble until I found out that I can't extract or copy and paste any folders or files or anything into the data file is this because I've got too many mods or something? Please help! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FalloutDude15 Posted November 4, 2009 Author Share Posted November 4, 2009 Lol :thanks: :biggrin: I Started out with a teribite of memory on my hard disk and I've still got well over half that empty so there is plenty of free space and I can save the files on my desktop just not in the data file and I installed it about 6-8 months ago because I switched computers for a newer better one.

csb Posted November 4, 2009 Share Posted November 4, 2009 First make sure that your Data folder isn't read-only (it shouldn't be). Right-click the folder and select properties. If that's the cause, get rid of the read-only property. What specifically happens when you drag 'n' drop, say a texture folder from a new mod, into Data? Does it refuse to copy? Do you get any sort of system feedback? There is a reported "upper cap" of mods .. .something like 255 or so. I have a lot of mods, but nowhere near that. There are about 30ish mods that I will merge on my own at some point, all the negator mods that do a specific thing like disabling VATs, getting rid of Karma messages, etc. You'll also need two must-have utilities. Timeslip's Fallout Mod Manager (FOMM) and ElminsterAU's FO3Edit. You'll want Miax's great FO3Edit Guide - Web-enized to learn how to detect and get rid of mod conflicts.

FalloutDude15 Posted November 4, 2009 Author Share Posted November 4, 2009 Thanks that thing with the read-only work I don't know how that got changed though and what was happening for anyone who gets the same problem is when i tried to extract into the folder it would come up with errors and if i tried to copy it would stay at 0% copied forever and I do have FOMM and :thanks: again :biggrin: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
