fallingrising Posted December 4, 2010 Share Posted December 4, 2010 I have successfully modded Oblivion for years and never had this odd problem. Any esp altered and saved by my GECK installation will not load with Fallout, even though it is checked in the DATA window and in Fallout Mod Manager. Any file created by my GECK installation suffers the same fate. If I download a mod from TESNEXUS it will load and play just fine. As soon as I use my GECK to alter the smallest thing in that file, then save it with my GECK (without changing the file name, textures, meshes, extensions, etc) the esp will not load even though it shows as checked in the launcher DATA window and in FOMM. I have tried reinstalling GECK. It is installed in the correct folder. GECK can load and read the esp's fine. When I alter them, GECK shows the alterations fine. If I save them and re-open them in GECK, that works fine, but the Fallout game does not load them. I have tried different versions of archive invalidation but that does not seem to be the problem. I can run anyone's mods fine, but as soon as I hit the SAVE button in my GECK that mod becomes unreadable by FO3. Anyone have any thoughts or suggestions?

fallingrising Posted December 4, 2010 Author Share Posted December 4, 2010 (edited) As often happens as soon as I posted a message I found the answer. I will leave this post up in case anyone else has this problem. I had accidentally installed GECK New Vegas in my Fallout 3 folder. They are identical except for the read me files but they are NOT interchangeable. I was lucky to notice it really. (smacks forehead). I also saw that when you download the GECK at the Fallout sight you don't download the latest version. You have to download it then patch it. Someone suggested that this could be the problem so I did that also. Anyway, working fine now.
