I need some serious help

[fenix420]

Like the title says... I need some serious help. I'm a newcomer to the PC world, having just recently finished my first build. The method of installing mods is completely foreign to me so forgive me for sounding extremely noobish.

I bought Fallout (game of the year edition) thinking it was the best choice since all of the new content is already on it. I thought it would save me time from having to download patches. Which brings me to my first question. Am I able to use mods with this particular Fallout? Everyone else here seems to have the original. Also, is it true that certain mods have to be downloaded in a particular order for them to both work? Are some mods just completely incompatiable with others?

 

PLEASE help me if you can. I've had this game for 3 days now but I haven't been able to play it because I can't grasp how to properly install mods. All I get are CTDs so it's obvious I'm doing something wrong but I haven't the foggiest what it is.

 

I'm getting really tired of all this running back and forth between new installs and CDTs and now I'm starting to become extremely discouraged. This is all just too much for me so I decided to swallow my pride and go online to ask for help.

 

I really appreciate any help recieved.

 

Thank you for reading.

I am using Fallout GOTY and modifications work fine for me and as well as many others here. You may have been making errors during your mod installations. You might want to read through this tutorial How to Install Mods for Fallout 3. That should clear up any general problems that you might be having. If after that you still have specific problems them come back and ask them then. You will find the people here most helpful.

sounds like he is having a load order issue FOMM should help him out

When it crashes does the game load at all or does it instantly return to the desktop? Or near-instantly?
