Help Making Instuctions Manual

[IDidBoratsSister]

Hello, I am trying to create a mod instructions manual for fallout 3, similar to that of the nVamp instruction manual.

 

My goal is to create a manual that can be used to properly install many mods, in such a way where there will be little conflict.

 

Here is what I have so far. Sorry the mods are not linked. I'll get to that.

 

Here is what I have so far. Please tell if you see a problem with my order. Please give suggestions on what could be done to improve the arrangement. Or give suggestions on what mods you think I should add, and where I should place them for best compatibility.

 

Here is what I have so far:

Now for the list:

 

Use BOSS to sort your mod list. make sure to update the the masterlist first.

Use wrye bash to create a bashed patch.

Open FO3Edit and search the fallout.esm for each of the companions (you can use the form id search for each). Its easiest to do 'em one at a time.

When you find each companion check the veiw tab, any columns with the batched patch right click on the top of that column, then click remove. (yes your sure..). Then on each companion find the main fook .esm column. right click on the top of that column and click 'copy as override into...' when the mod list pops up click on the bashed patch you just removed. Now FOOK's companion scripts will load after all the other scripts that effect the companion, and they will run uninterupted. If you know what your doing you can go a step further and individually move settings such as facegen data, and such, for example from Lings to the patch.
