stimsoe023 Posted October 29, 2010 Share Posted October 29, 2010 HI, I have the FO3 goty edition. When I got into fallout mod manager and install a mod , I have noticed they usually come with plugins for the relevant DLC's. As I havent actually got to the part of the game where these have become unlocked , should I be leaving the DLC's unticked in mod manager? does the same go for the mod files for the relevant DLC's ? ie - project_beauty_thepitt - shouldI leve these unticked? Im guessing that when the DLC becomes activated , I would then need to go into mod manager and tick the relevant mod to enable it? Thanks, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WastelandAssassin Posted October 29, 2010 Share Posted October 29, 2010 what do you mean, the DLCs aren't unlocked??the DLCs should start as soon as you leave vault 101and you should have them ticked alwaysjust keep them on, they may not work yet, but they do have their effects but if you choose not to use a DLC, don't use any mod that either needs that DLC, or changes it, otherwise your game won't work Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is the windows live version , so im not sure if that has anything to do with it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rgx02 Posted October 29, 2010 Share Posted October 29, 2010 It is the windows live version , so im not sure if that has anything to do with itYes, you have to transfer the dlc to the data folder because live doesnt like mods.Use this http://www.fallout3nexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=1086. BTW when you install a dlc, you receive a message ingame regarding its quest or an entry on the notes section. It will happen even if you start a new game so you'll know the dlcs where installed.

The dlc's were automatically put into the data folder by the install , but I never received the quests or notes when I started the game and left the vault. , I had to tick them in mod manager to get them to appear. they are there now anyway :biggrin: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
