SpikeBrown Posted July 19, 2010 Share Posted July 19, 2010 This is my first post on Nexus. Fallout 3 was my 1st RPG after many years of adventure gaming of all kinds. I loved F3 so much that after completing the base game and add-ons I decided to try my hand at modding the game. I used FOMM and all relevant helper files: FOSE, FO3Edit, etc. I easily installed about a dozen mods. The game and mods ran with no problems until I decided to uninstall one of the mods. The mod in question is Color Hi-Detailed Map. Not only did I not like the look of the new map, but not all of the place markers showed up on the map. They did on the original F3 map. I uninstalled the mod per the ReadMe. The next time I tried to launch the game from FOMM I got this message: An error occurred while scanning your fomods for new versions. A crash dump will have been saved in fomm\crashdump.txt Please make a bug report and inlude the contents of that file. I found the .txt file but I don't know what to do with it. My game is no longer playable since I can't open FOMM. I downloaded Color Hi-Detailed Map again and installed its components in the same locations I removed them from during my attempt to uninstall. I still couldn't open FOMM. I should say that Color Hi-Detailed Map never showed up in my FOMM load list, so there wasn't the possibility of simply unchecking it. Can someone take pity on a 1st time modder? Any help greatly appreciated. Spike P.S. A big thank you to the Nexus creators for this very helpful site.

eLucifer Posted July 19, 2010 Share Posted July 19, 2010 Contact the author about it. And if that didn't work, just reinstall your game and mods. The save files will most probably be there to play with once you reinstall. This might also be an oppurtunity to get rid of those old mods you don't have use for anymore.

I uninstalled/reinstalled FOMM and all my mods and saves were as they should be. Only problem was that after deleting all the hidden bits of the Color HI-Detailed Map and Icons mod it was still modding my map in PipBoy. I don't know how to get my original FO3 map back, but I'm not going to worry about that. I can play the game without any problems, so I can live with a map that is less detailed than the original (There are no icons on the modded map for many locations, and I've been to all the marked locations as well as to most of the unmarked ones.) Thanks again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
