im not quite sure if i understand completly. do you mean that you installed mods, they worked fine with no ! but now they dont. if this is the case i can not help. however, if you mean that you downloaded mods that are new and they dont work then what you have to do is

perfectly re create the folder structure from the mod data folder and it should work fine.

Sounds like missing meshes. Make sure your folder structure is correct. Re-installing those mods properly usually fixes it. :)

missing meshes. put in meshes folder (if you dont have it,make one ^^) or specified destination.

its in the wrong place.This should be in the troubleshooting forum

I'm no expert but eventually after doing what everybody was saying "READ THE INSTRUCTIONS", I did, so here goes ......

 

Step 1) .....begin by having three very important MODS ..... 1) Fallout Mod Manager, 2) FOSE, 3) Archive Invalidation. .......(Dont forget to install them).

(win RAR and 7Zip are a must, so download them too).

 

Step 2) create a folder on your desktop and call it Fallout Mods (or whatever you choose) and download your mods into this folder.

 

Step 3) a)double-click your Fallout Mod Manager Icon which if installed correctly will be on your desktop, choose the Tab called "PACKAGER MANAGER"

click it .... another Dialogue box will open.

b)Choose the Tab called "ADD NEW" another box will open which will allow you to look for your folder which you created on your desktop for your Mods.

c)Open the Mod folder and choose your Mod by double clicking it .... IT WILL THEN APPEAR IN THE PACKAGE MANAGER BOX.

d)You will see on the Package Manager Box (third tab down) a Tab called ACTIVATE, click it ...... and that's it, all done, the Mod will be ready when you

you begin your game.

 

Following these steps should eliminate any messing around with MESHES, and end up being confused as to what files go where.

Please note that some Mods also need others to work, and will make Red Exclamation marks appear (The Hair package is one that I know of).

I would tell you to download the Mod especially designed to remove the RED EXCLAMATION marks but that would get the Modders annoyed and rightly

so because we should learn how to do this stuff properly.

Let's face it they spend their time enhancing our gaming experience and we give them the finger by pulling stupid stuff like that, so follow the steps and you'll

be glad you did.

 

P.s If I left anything out please somebody tell me .... thank you
