FO3 crashes when i look left or right (can't turn around)

[42liberty]

Since I cant wait for "New Vegas" so i thought id give modding a try, to give fallout 3 some new life, so i'm pretty new to this and i'd really appreciate some help.

 

Here's the problem:

Fallout 3 crashes to the desktop when i try to look left or right.

i can walk forwards and side step left and right, i can look up and down, talk to my follower, use my pip boy and menu controls. but as soon as i try to turn around in either direction the game crashes.

 

Here's how i installed everything:

- downloaded all the mods l liked into a separate folder called "MODS" outside of the fallout 3 directory

-backed up my saved games

-uninstalled FO3

-clean install of FO3

-installed fomm

-installed FO3Edit

-installed FOSE using package manager

-tried loading FOSE usng FOMM, but it asked for latest patch

-downloaded and installed official patch v 1.7

-after patch, FO3 wouldn't load so i disabled the desktop composition for FOMM and then FO3 loaded fine after that

-installed unofficial patch

*using the package manager to install the following:

-fake patch*

-fwe part 1*

-fwe part 2 assets*

-fwe main files*

-activated fwe mod

-tested FO3 = worked

-installed mart's mutant mod using package manager

-activated MMM

-tested FO3 = worked

installed FOOK 2

-reset load order in FOMM

-reloaded my old saved game files

-tested FO3 = worked with old saves

-installed enhanced weather using package manger

-activated Enhanced weather

-installed fellout 1.2 full

-activated fellout full

-tested FO3 = didn't work

-using FO3Edit i created a merge patch

-tested FO3 = worked.... BUT...

.... that's where this problem started.

I can't look around without crashing to the desktop

 

I tried starting a new game, and when asked to continue dream and redo the vault 101 scenes, i choose to wake up in a shack.

i did everything on the computer in the shack and went to sleep on the bed in the corner of the shake. the game cuts to loading screen and then crashes.

 

So that's where i'm at right now, i'm glad it was raining here today because i spent the whole day trying to figure this out.

 

So please any help you can offer would be great!

well, as far as i know, FOOK and FWE don't really work together..... that might be some part of the problem

have you tried doing a master update?? (if you don't know what that is, read the FO3Edit manual)

a master update can solve lot's of problems and such, so it might help

i also installed FOIP and a FWE MMM Merger in FOMM it's listed as "Mart's Mutant Mod - FWE Master Release"

which mod does everyone think is better... fwe.. or fook 2?

[WastelandAssassin]

well, i can't speak for everyone, but i would say that FWE is better

FOOK adds many new items, and they are cool and all, but FWE is more about the gameplay, adding options like real needs, so you have to really maintain your character in order to survive

 

basically, i would tell you to look at both mods, read what they do, and decide which one is better for you, which you will enjoy better :thumbsup:

alright cool.. i was also thinking the fwe would be better. thanks a lot for your help
