Roughnecks2277 Posted January 14, 2010 Share Posted January 14, 2010 Ok so im picking up Fallout 3 for my PC today and im no noob to the game, i have it for my xbox 360 and i have every single achievement and DLC, but i want help on the following things: The G.E.C.KModding advice and here are some questions: - Does the GECK work with Broken Steel?- Does modding work with the GECK running and playing on ur new map?- Can you level up your character to say, 23, and can u start the geck and play on it and make ur new maps and stuff and ur character wont be deleted? and anything related to those subjects. Thanks everyone! :thanks: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pkleiss Posted January 15, 2010 Share Posted January 15, 2010 - Does the GECK work with Broken Steel?Yes, it will work with all the DLCs. - Does modding work with the GECK running and playing on ur new map?You make mods with the GECK, then you load them up like any other DLC/mod and play from there. You can run the GECK and the game simultaneously, but it has no effect on the game. Make your mods first, then play them. You can't make changes on the fly, if that's what you are asking. - Can you level up your character to say, 23, and can u start the geck and play on it and make ur new maps and stuff and ur character wont be deleted?Yes, you don't "play" the GECK. You use it to make new "maps" (called "cells"). You save your work in the GECK to a file with an extension of .esp. You then tick that mod in the launcher or FOMM (Fallout Mod Manager) to add your mod to the game world. Start your game up, and your game will now have the content you created with the GECK. I strongly urge you to utilize the My First vault Tutorial if you are new to the GECK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skotte Posted January 15, 2010 Share Posted January 15, 2010 so do i have to disable G4WL or what does G4WL even do? What it does is allow you to buy the DLC (same ones that come with the GOTY version) chat & share achievements (like being able to get out of Vault 101 & how many pants you exploded) You can disable live with >FOMM< in "Tools" > "Install tweaker" there is an option to Use fake xlive.dll", just click the box then the "apply" button Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
