hexagonlux Posted December 25, 2009 Share Posted December 25, 2009 Hello, everyone!This is my first post here. I stumbled upon this site and these forums while looking for FO3 modding info. Being a 360 owner, I was saddened to learn that most of these amazing mods dont work on the xbox. A few hours ago, I set out to try my damnedest to make it happen anyway. And I did! ^_^ This is the mod I chose. The results can be seen . The video is crap quality but hey, my phone was all i had. So... Has this already been done? If not, i will try and explain how I made it happen. In the meantime, how on earth should I go about changing the load order? Ps. Im pretty sure this will only work with jtagged consoles.

hexagonlux Posted December 25, 2009 Author Share Posted December 25, 2009 Ok, I'll explain it the best I can. Firstly, I used xexloader to install fallout 3 to an external usb hd from the retail disc. (I already had the expansion packs installed) It would probably work just as well if you installed to the internal hd. Anywhos... I then connected the hd to my computer where I used xextool to patch the xex to the latest version using the method outlined here. Then, I edited the fallout3.ini as instructed by the "manual" instructions from this. Then I took the contents of the mod and put them in their respective places in the fallout 3 directory. I had noticed earlier that the title update container had an esp file in it so, i figured what the heck? Its a longshot, but ill give it a try. So.... Then, I used this guide to help me make a live container for the mods files. Im not sure what all I needed to put in it, so I just put everything in. The esp file and the folders. Just make sure you fill out the gameid and other stuff for fallout 3. Also, instead of telling it youre making a demo, select the "content" option. When that was all said and done, I had a shiny new live container. I just dropped it into the retail hd with the rest of the expansions. After getting everything put back together, I loaded up fo3 through xexloader and what do ya know? My little "House Mod" showed up in the downloads list. ^_^ The first save I tried was a later save and it took a couple tries to get it to load. It wasnt until I tried an early one that everything seemed to load up and actually work. Thats it! I hope someone can take this, make some sense of it, clean it up and streamline the process. Have fun! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
