Help Enabling Mods

[ViolentBeluga]

I need help enabling mods. I have downloaded them, extracted them with WinRar. I have FOMM but I can’t figure out how to ‘load’ the mods into the manager to get them to run/work. Is there something im missing? This is my first time doing this, so any help would be beneficial, thank you.

I have been reading guides and things like that but im still having troubles, i don't have a fallout 3 data folder, is it the folder with all the tools and files needed to make fallout run by itself, ignoring the other software, because mine just might be named diffrent. OR, do i need to create a folder for everything. i have just been taking all the files with mods and such and dragging the folders into the folder with all my fallout 3 files.

If you don't have a data folder, then you messed up your installation.

The data folder is part of the install. It is located inside the Fallout 3 folder. The default location (not the best place to install) is C:\program files\Bethesda Softworks\Oblivion\Data Using this you will have problems with Vista and Win7 UAC protection that prevents changes to anything in the program files folders. Mods are changes so it will try to prevent them from being installed - it actually places them in a quarantine location until you explicitly approve them. Much better is to install to a folder outside of the protected folders - such as C:\Games\Fallout3 (It will create the data folder when Fallout3 is installed.) You must create the folder in advance.

 

If you made the mistake of getting a pirate version, well you got what you paid for.
