Well, this is just plain aggravating.

Well, here I am: after two whole days of trying to get Fallout 3's Mod Manager to successfully play Fallout 3 with the 2 (Yes, only TWO) mods I wanted it to work with, I'm forced to go onto the internet to get much needed help.

 

What two, simple mods do I wish to install, you ask?

 

1) Sharing and Caring Companions

2) SCC- Talk to Anyone

 

You see, Fallout 3 will load these mods (Actually, the FOSE button in the Mod Manager starts it all up) and then get me to the title screen. At that point, if I try to play a character or create a new one, the game will crash as soon as the loading screen has disappeared.

 

First and foremost, let me list what is NOT THE PROBLEM:

- FOSE. It's installed correctly dammit.

- My edition of Fallout 3.

- Any other mods: I haven't used any at all. These are the only 2 I have even tried to install.

- Any sort of framework, permissions, Graphics, or badly typed directories. I spent the first day doing all of THAT.

 

The only thing that I believe COULD be the problem is the load order, but since I am fresh-as-grass-new to this whole modding experience, I can't make heads or tails with it. (Alternatively, maybe I oughta run the game through compatibility mode? I'm running windows 7 on my PC.)

What does the "13 duplicate entries" mean? What's this about Sharing and Caring "not existing in the current template"!?

 

All I wanted to frickin' do in fallout 3 was play 2 god danged mods. NOT spend two days (and probably more at this rate) shuffling around the internet to get 2 simple mods to work!

 

And yes, I have read the readme, and countless other readmes, but they don't say jack about the problem I'm having.

that is very strange about SCC not working,

are your drivers up to date including directX ?

 

Don't worry about the "load order report" I think it has issues as it is a recent addition to FOMM

Definitely. I spent some time today making sure I had the most up to date version of directx needed.

As allways, my seemingly very much unrelated hint: Do you have created the fake live DLL in Fomm?

Created the fake Microsoft Live DLL? Using FOMM? I never heard of doing something like that. O_o

yes, most players get annoyed at GFWL and seek to remove it and its drain on the game's resources

 

some mods even won't work with GFWL

 

and I thought that FOSE was one of them.

Yeah, FOMM has the fake DLL then you have to move Fallout 3 (all the files, folders, etc) into another place because the programs files folders have restrictions that can keep you from playing the game with certain mods.
