new to modding fallout 3

[balboa2151]

hello everyone.....I played fallout 3 years ago before there were any mods....I've been playing skyrim for the last couple of years which I have over two hundred mods installed so I'm no stranger to modding.....I would like to play fallout 3 again but mods installed this time around.....one question I have is about the body mods....I notice there are only a few but one that I like is Exnem.....if I use this body mod is it compatible with armors nude body replacers and companions...ect? the mod that I see most is the type 3 body but it doesn't do anything for me. also...what is FOMM and FOSE? On the main page where the categories are and under it says requirements...can someone explain what that is? sorry for the hundred questions.....but if someone could help me I would greatly appreciate your time...thanks Rich

The Exnem nude body replacer is only compatible with the clothing and armor that is made for that body. If you use an armor or clothing mod for type 3, type 3F, type 6, type N, etc., the textures will not appear correctly.

 

FOMM = Fallout Mod Manager, just what it says. If you are going to use it for just Fallout 3 and no other Bethesda game, get Old FOMM.

 

FOSE = Fallout Script Extender, similar to SKSE.

 

If FOSE or any other file is listed as a requirement, that is just what it means. It is required, not a option.

so I assume type 3 is the most popular and is easiest to get clothes and armor? what mod is best for nude bodies? thanks

Type 3 is just about the standard replacer. If you use the search feature and enter "Type" in the file name section, the search will return 46 files. I am currently using the Beware of Girl Hi Rez texture and I think I have the Type6M BnB body.
