WoogieMonster Posted January 21, 2010 Share Posted January 21, 2010 FOSE can be downloaded at http://fose.silverlock.org/ and the page contains a short blurb about what it is and what it does. Fallout Mod Manager (FOMM) can be downloaded on the Nexus file site http://www.fallout3nexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=640 When you see people talking about load order and plugin editor, that stuff is done with FOMM.

Do you need these to play the mods you download for Fallout 3? Oh and what does WIP mean? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WoogieMonster Posted January 21, 2010 Share Posted January 21, 2010 Do you need these to play the mods you download for Fallout 3? Oh and what does WIP mean? Because of limitations within the base game, many mods (especially the bigger more elaborate mods) do require FOSE and they almost always warn you about it in the file description and in the ReadMe. FOMM is not really a requirement in the strictest sense of the word. You can install and play mods without it, but when you have several mods they often need to be loaded into the game in a certain order ( load order ) and this is what makes you need FOMM. It shows the load order of your mods and allows you to rearrange them properly to avoid conflicts that could crash your game or maybe even damage your saves. FOMM also contains other tools that will be helpful when/if you decide to start editing mods yourself or correcting certain small problems with other mods.WIP stands for Work in Progress. It means that the mod is still considered to be incomplete by it's owner although they may still make it available to the public. This is often done so people can help them find bugs, conflicts or other errors within the mod, or sometimes to just get suggestions from other people. Another term you might see a lot is Vanilla, which is a way of referring to some that has NOT been modded. For example: "This armor uses the vanilla body" to let you know that you do not need a body-mod to use that item. ArchiveInvalidation is used when a mod adds a new version of something to the game that needs to replace the vanilla version. This is a feature of FOMM and can also be done manually with a .txt file. Once activated in FOMM it remains active even when new mods are installed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roughnecks2277 Posted February 16, 2010 Author Share Posted February 16, 2010 What about FOOK or FOOk2? What happens if you have FOSE and FOMM? I don't understand lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
apaosha Posted February 16, 2010 Share Posted February 16, 2010 FOSE has full compatibility with FOMM. When you open FOMM and have FOSE installed, the option will change to "Launch FOSE" instead of "Launch Fallout". FOOK is a weapon mod, as far as I am aware. I don't use it. I think it adds various add-ons and customizations to existiong weapons as well as various new weapons ... The description on the mod page is not particularily helpful in this regard ...
