Reinstall Order

[Panbot3000]

Hi. I've gone through the process of reformatting and reinstalling Windows 7 and have now come to reinstalling Fallout 3 and all the attached utilities and mods but i'm facing some problems with my backed up Data folder.

 

So i'm going to have to reinstall each mod one by one again but cant remember what order I did it in before.

 

Am I to assume that it goes something like this?

 

Install Game

Install DLC

Official Patch

Unofficial Patch

Install Utilities

Gameplay Tweaks

Game World Mods

Texture Mods

Graphics Mods

New Items

AI Tweaks

 

Also, is it worth installing the 1.7 patch and when should I try and do all the archive invalidation and moving of DLC to the Data folder?

 

Thanks :)

I bought a new faster PC but didn’t want to start F3 again from scratch.

I backed up the whole F3 folder the INI files and some saves. Then installed F3 on my new PC in exactly the same place Drive letters etc. made sure the game worked then copied over all the stuff I had saved. Then just re-installed FOMM, Java etc to get the icons back on the desktop and was able to carry on playing from where I left off.

 

1.7 patch is well worth doing its bin on my system since it came out.

Thanks for the reply.

 

I did backup my F3 folder but something went wrong and I ended up with Oblivion data files in there as well which makes me wonder what else might have gone wrong. Must have accidentally merged some of the data folder together by accident.

 

I have all the mods backed up though and a list of my load order etc so it shouldn't be too difficult reinstalling them again, just as long as I remember the little tweaks I did to make it all work nicely.
