well, i'm not sure how well this will work

 

as far as i know, FWE doesn't work too well with FOOK2, and i don't know of an existing patch (though i don't know if they conflict, or just don't work well)

i've seen people use both together, so i guess you can, but expect at least some minor problems

 

also, i'm not sure if Fellout and EWE work together (but this is just something for you to check out and make sure that they do or don't)

 

two more suggestions

the first is to go to the FOIP page (there should be a link on the FWE page) and get the patches for the mods that you use, as this is essential (not sure if you did this)

and also read the FWE load order suggestion, as it should easily tell you if anything needs any changes

 

also, you should get FO3Edit, make a merged patch after you decide on your load order, and maybe even a Master Update

 

hope this helps

when you are lost in a load order

 

run it through BOSS (easily found on any nexus)

 

then read its report slowly and correct any issues it notes

[hurrdurrmurrgurr]

Run either Fook or FWE never both, your weather and companion mods should always be last, there's no reason to ever not run the official dlc and even if you just don't like it you'll find most mods need it, craft should be on since so many mods need that and then run BOSS. The system is meant to work where one mod overwrites the previous if they're competing but the system is flawed so you should always put your random mods before any major overhauls like Fook but after any mods which just alter the appearance of the game like project beauty or darnified ui.

 

It won't help you run fook but I recommend the foip page on the nexus it gives a general overview of how mods and patches fit together but most of all always read the readme and the description page for files.
