Noob effs it all up

Hi all,

 

I'm sure you're sick of this sort of question but I've tried adding my first mods to FO3 GOTY edition tonight & things aren't going well.

 

The problem is with the streetlighting. Most of my streetlights have the exclamation box problem, some of the lights just hag there without support (kind of like fireflies) but even most ofthe ones that seem fine have ! boxes over them. I'm running Windows 7 64bit

 

I've spent hours messing with load orders, forum searches & tweaking, I hope someone out there can help me.

try "toggle invalidation"

Sounds like you didn't put the meshes from the Streelights mod in the right place. Make sure it's all installed correctly. (Data/meshes/Streetlights or whatever it may be.) Do the same for textures as well.

 

Folder structure should be

 

>Bethesda Softworks

>Fallout 3

>Data

>Meshes, Textures

>followed by the Streetlights folder and all of its contents in each respective folder.

 

I don't know if the Archive Invalidation would be an issue, since they have their own directory. Give it a shot though; ain't gonna hurt any to try.

Ahhh, that's what it was :-)

 

I emptied the meshes & textures folders & dumped it all straight into the data folder. I copied the folders across like you suggested & it's all working now.

Thanks a lot Eiries, all sorted now :-)
