Pre-Launch Check: About to launch FO3 for the first time in a decade with a ton of mods...

[Purr4me]

Hey all,

 

Just wondering if somebody might be kind enough to clear me for takeoff.

EDIT: uninstalled everything and starting from scratch. If somebody can tell me the proper install order for these or point me to a resource that indicates as much, it would be greatly appreciated.

 

Here's what I want to install:

 

• FO3 Wanderer's Edition
• FO3 Redesigned (Formerly Project Beauty)
• Martigen's Mutant Mod
• RH_IronSights
• Simple Realism 3.3
• Weapon Mod Kits
• Fellout 1_21R2
• EVE 099
• Arefu Expanded
• DCInteriors Project
• FO3 Reanimated
• Enhanced Weather
• Animated Prostitution - Work never done
• Body Control
• Breezes FO3 Female
• Existence 2 Robot Radio

Is there a correct order to install these in to avoid overwriting the wrong files?

 

Thanks VERY MUCH in advance.

Most of that is contain with in 1 mod already

http://www.nexusmods.com/fallout3/mods/17478/?

now, read the page it has for consistency.

Add to the list there what is not posted. This is the only way possible to have all of that in one place...combined.

I don't see any kind of description for what's in MUW... It also mentions working with FOOK and FWE, so I'm assuming they're not included. Do you know what's listed in there?

[Purr4me]

it contains both worlds ,FWE and FOOK combined

[Purr4me]

Mods so listed By both teams as to be "already included" are posted. talked about ,over stated by a ton of complaints of posts, miss understood load order problem here on this site. I of which is minor of the greater majority have explained.

 

The problem is, no body understands any thing read.

so, here is it, what part of fellout is already included.....?? is hard to understand?

What mods have that mod combine with in them so to make IT obsolete?

 

Fook2's web pages list of ton of mods included, Read's posted under neath the web pages read-me icons list the data so included with in both mods, internal read-mes contain a great deal more information about these two mod's

 

 

Popularity and stand lists both of these as competitors.

MUW ....Fast Freddy is the only one so far that has been allowed to share the data with a single package.

Do I need to post and highlight this information too? because that's just plain going over board.

 

now i wonder why you have posted for help here? Red highlighted is exemplifying earnestly request a direct type of help..specific Load order installed.../ what over writes what....fear of damaging other data...and that answer is simple, use what has already been done due to this fear factor.

 

FF did all of that to stop all of this. really, he say's so too.

 

so I guess I wasted yet more time.

please let me know when you get it together so i can see what you came up with.

MMM, has a ton of post about what is and is not included in FWE and Fook2 ...FROM it.

Fellouts pages too. About the others.

 

you have the benefit of some one whom has done all of this many many times.

Read it from others, many times too.

Do not add a bunch of mods and start the game from the beginning. Start a base game and play until just before you are going to leave the vault tunnel and make a save.

 

Exit the tunnel into the wasteland and make another save.

 

Keep these two saves until you uninstall Fallout3.

 

After you have made the save in the wasteland, you can start adding your mods.

 

There is no proper install order for the mods you have listed. What gets overwritten, if anything, depends on what you want to see in your game.

@M48A5: Thanks , I felt naked here, so alone...like drifting thru space ,no ships left to use....just a drift, quietly floating.

For a girl on the net, talking to complete strangers ,and seeing a some what strange request...to answer it at first was a no brainer.

 

Then..LOL. this. I am... :no: :wallbash: :facepalm:

Thanks. I have others in PM's at the moment on steam so I am a bit busy.

What is this? Seems like a mistaken link; that just points to a relatively unpopular companion mod.

Thanks for the pointers. Also thanks for the pointers Purrr4me, my apologies, I think there's something getting lost in translation so forgive my lack of comprehension.

 

I'll try the above instructions and do some trial and error. If anybody else wants to weigh in in the meantime it would be appreciated.

[Purr4me]

if the data request is not so full, I mean way too many mods, the one's requested in that list conflick badly enough as it is, ...to ask what you asked?

 

yeah, it's kinda hard to answer, we do try our best, but some times it's not enough.

I want you to have fun , I don't want you to become a Game scientist....that's a total drag.

 

The problem your facing is part of modding, the very basic thing.

6.2 gigs raw fallout 3GOTY and from that , all of this comes.

 

so, imagine what we do know, and how we handle quick questions.....translations are two party things...we all need to be on the same page.

the fine print on that page is what get's us in trouble.

 

your going to over write files if you use normal common every day "tactics" and not have what you want...BUT !

there is a way to prevent loss..and gain piece of mind.

I don't want to promote any thing in particular but a mod organizer designed to prevent the very concern you express here is available to you, and there are vintage versions also.

 

fallout 3 works best with 2.18....I believe. about around that number.

2.38 is for hard core know it all's...even I choose that one for Skyrims problems, the older version can't handle Skyrims weird bugs.

 

but 28 handles Fo3 flawlessly. There is a learning curve ,a bit. but it's a hell of a lot better than going Blind...which is exactly what your doing here.

 

I repeat, we want you to have fun, play with all you can but do it safety and proficiently.

 

so, getting things across is really hard. we think faster than we can act.

[Purr4me]

can I show you some thing ? I Think you might like. ..?

Currently, users, that have given me copies of their saved game files I used to figure out what wrong were given totally fresh data here to use with what ever came in that file, the file is the saved game file they sent to me to analyze .

 

Unknow to most what I am about to show you is an expense no one does. I have about 65 extra Use tethered hard drive, all being 2 tera bytes or larger.

 

the current drive is a fresh one made this month alone. I never delete data..and those reasons are too many. but I always have the answers due to this reason alone.

 

45 difernt setup's each contains a users saved games and test games, a varyity of the games not all the same.

the next thing I will post if you want to see how it all works, and works correctly so I suffer NOT what others suffer....and this is sneaky because it tells me who's legit or not, I'll sumit another screenie for ya.

 

all this does is give you a direction to follow ,no body mod's like me and I can run any ones saved game if it's not all buggered up.
