Critique my load order?

[dethtoll]

FOMS won't work- I'm running XP SP2, and I installed .NET 3.5 like the site said, but it still crashes instantly. I tried the FO3edit conflict checker but I can't make heads or tails of it despite reading the manual carefully. So I leave it to you guys.

I'm not using Mothership Zeta, btw- I have it, I just don't want it.

Streetlights - wasteland.esp should be after StreetLights.esm.

 

Place it like this:

 

StreetLights.esm

Streetlights - wasteland.esp

that's a very simple load order. try using boss

You can try that too, but I'm sure it's wasteland lights problem, I had the same problem before.

[mechine]

Load the whole thing up with FO3edit an it should tell you in the message box what is happening which is causing the instant crash.

 

 

Then when you get time look into web-ensized FO3edit guide by CSB http://www.fallout3nexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=9616

[dethtoll]

I didn't say FO3 was crashing instantly, I said FOMS was. I also said that FO3editor was too complex for me to figure out despite reading the manual carefully.

 

I'll give BOSS a try, though. Thanks.

 

I haven't actually started the game yet- I just want to make sure the load order is in tip-top shape, and I'll go ahead and move Wasteland Lights down where it belongs.

[mechine]

What's FOMS? okay I see, yeah that probably doesn't work, BOSS would be better, but even that is questionable. Let us know how your lazyness works out in your fallout 3 build.

hey I'm having a similar problem, I've actually never checked my load order, but I check it recently and almost every mod I've put in says that they don't exist in the order they're in now and I do use ArchivesInvalidated, I tried BOSS and the load guides but they only help if you have the same mods.

Can someone help me understand what I got to do to get all of my mods to work?

 

Heres my order after BOSS:
