[bikerkid]

could anyone please give me some help with this and what i need to do after i have copied the files to get it to work, any help would be very much apreciated. Thanks

Download it from here instead and follow the instructions.

 

Also grab Archive Invalidation Invalidated and Fallout Mod Manager. :thumbsup:

Download Fallout Mod Manager from the Nexus. That's the first thing to do. It makes managing your mods much simpler and easier than the FO3 Launcher Data Files thingy...

Follow the instructions about installing it.

Then download ArchiveInvalidation Invalidation and follow the instructions for that.

 

Both of these are tedious but necessary if you want everything working properly.

 

So, after you download your Nude Mod, extract the .rar file with WinRar or whatever to your Desktop.

You'll probably have a Folder called "Data" or a Folder with another folder called "Data" inside it.

 

What you need to do with this Data Folder is find the corresponding Data Folder in your Fallout3 Game directory.

Depending where you installed it to, it will be something like c:/program files/bethesda/Fallout3/data.

 

Then, you copy-paste the Data Folder from the mod into the Fallout3 Folder. Do not paste it anywhere else because you are attempting to retain the directory structure of both the game and the mod - combining them into one Folder.

 

To put it simply:

1) right click your nude mods data folder

2) select "copy"

3) Go to your fallout3 directory and righ-click on the Data folder

4) select "paste"

5) a notification will appear telling you the folder already exists. This is fine as nothing will be erased: you are merging the folders together to retain the folder structure, as above.

6) select "yes to all".

 

So now you have it installed properly. Next you need to activate the .esp that came with the mod so that it will affect your game.

 

An esp is a plug-in, standing for Elder Scrolls Plugin. It relates to a corresponding .esm, a Master File. In this case Fallout3 is the master and your nude mod is the plugin that tells the game to use nude meshes/textures instead of the default boxers and tanktop.

 

After you installed Fallout Mod Manager, a shortcut to this program should be on your desktop. Launch FOMM.

You will see a list of esms and esps with boxes next to them. To activate an esp/esm check the box next to it's name. (You won't need to bother with this because your nude mod is a replacer of existing files and does not need a plugin to activate it)

Also, make sure you press "toggle archiveinvalidation invalidated".

 

Finally, press "Launch Fallout 3".

 

That should be all you need. I've tried to be thorough, given that you're a noob. Post again if you have further problems.
