Fallout3 type 3 help plz

[lolman112]

Hi all,

i have downloaded type 3 female dimonized blahblah... I wanna replace it, but I can't see where. First of all I have windows 7

In the Fallout 3 folder i see a data folder, if i click on it, there is only fallout 3 meshes and that stuff but not a map. Fallout 3 meshes is in .bsa format. I can open it with fomm but i cant replace something

what should i do? and how?

thx all

There is a folder for the meshes and textures that you need to put it in. Don't worry about the bsa's.

[lolman112]

oh, but do i have to make that folders?

they aren't there (I have made em by myself now)

But a weird thing is, the dimonized doesnt work.

How can i ever replace it if that map isn't there :P

 

BTW i have updated version 1.7 from fallout

I'm not exactly sure what you mean. I have not seen a vanilla data folder in ages, so I don't know if the folders are included. Why don't you upload a few screens, so I have a better understanding of the problem.

Its just:

I have installed fallout 3

In the fallout/data folder, there are only the files

fallout3.esm

falloutsounds.bsa

falloutmeshes.bsa

fallouttextures.bsa

zeta.esm

And some others,

there are NO folders like textures or meshes folders

Is that usual or is that becouse i have windows 7?

I can play fallout 3 just normal...

 

The second thing:

I wanted to replace femaleupperbody.nif

but since i have no 'folders like 'textures or meshes, i cant replace them...

 

what now?

[htomsirveauxjr]

are you using TYPE3_BODY_V3dot5?

 

It is remarkably easy. Open the rar/zip and select a body type. Open that folder, and move the meshes folder to the data folder. Get FOMM, and apply archive invalidation. That is very important. Play game. Enjoy teh bewbs.

[lolman112]

Yep i'm using that

BUT THAT WAS WHAT I WAS TELLING

i have no meshes or textures folder!!!!!!!

only falloutmeshes.bsa and that stuff

how can i ever place them in there?

[Ghogiel]

place mod contents in your data folder. there is no need to create the meshes&textures folder. when you extract any mod with custom assets, those folders will be extracted from the mod archive as well

[lolman112]

but i need dimonized type 3, that has no mod activator, it has to replace a file, but i cant find that becouse i dont have that map! xD

Ok, take a deep breath. It's confusing, I know. Soon installing mods will be second nature to you. Let's get your chicks some better bodies:

 

1. Open the file you downloaded and unzipped for Type 3. Pick out the body type you want (we'll use Cali for an example)

2. Double click on "Type 3 Base Cali Body"

3. See the meshes folder? Highlight it with your mouse and Copy it (use the toolbar on the window or Ctrl + C)

4. Go to your Fallout 3\Data folder and Paste (toolbar or Ctrl + V) it in

5. Go back to the Type 3 folder from Step 1. Double click on "Type 3 V2 Texture Pack". Double-click on "Type 3 V2 Textures". Ignore the Options and Customization folder for now. You can install it later if you want.

6. Highlight the textures folder with your mouse and Copy it.

7. Go to your Fallout 3\Data folder and Paste (toolbar or Ctrl + V) it in

8. Close the window. Open FOMM. Press the Toggle Invalidation button on the right.

9. Launch the game. Enjoy.
