Some question about installing mods.....

[Jaxwells78]

Hello all, I'm new here and i haven't found an answer to this question yet;

When I download a mod, and when i open it it, i can see a "meshes" and "textures" folder, do i have to extract the "Fallout - Textures" and "Fallout - Meshes" folders and copy them into theses or do i just copy them into th "Data" folder? (I have FOMM an Archive Invalidation Invalidated! installed)

look inside your Fallout 3 directory

inside there is a Data folder

inside this folder you may have a meshes folder (there is the Meshes BSA archive, which has all the meshes from the original game)

now, if you don't have a meshes folder there, then just copy the meshes folder you have in the mod, into the Data directory

do the same for textures, sounds menus and whatever else (basically, everything that does not tell you otherwise)

 

now, when you'll get other mods, all you have to do is merge the folders (don't replace, merge, otherwise you'll lose all your former contents)

 

i hope this answers your question

 

one more thing

if you haven't got FOSE already, you need to get it, otherwise you won't be able to launch the game through FOMM
