[X] Merged 21.0.esp

 

Merged patch 21.0 is my merged patch.

Remeber to use Fo3edit, and learn how to master update :)

 

Edit: if you have a similar set up, my suggestion would be to put any mods before the FWE esps., and if you add anything besides compatibilty patches, those should go before FWE edition too, any compatibilty patches should go last in your load order, but before anything that changes race or weather.

 

Steps to masterupdate-

1. Download Fo3edit.

2. Right click on fo3edit and make a copy of the .exe

3. Rename it to "fo3masterupdate.

4. Make another copy, and rename that to "fo3masterrestore ( you will need this to revert back in case you made a mistake.)

5. Run masterupdate, pay attention to load order errors, if one comes up, adjust your load order.

6. After you update, make a merged patch, using fo3edit, wait untill the program says finish, look in the left pane window, and right click anywhere, find create merged patch ( about 3/4 way down ) and make the merged patch..

7. Play game, have fun!

Not a half bad idea Einhander. Especially considering the fact you've got some of the most popular mods like FWE, MMM and enhanced weather installed.

 

By the way, I'd say it doesn't really matter what kind of rig you've got, the fake fullscreen mod is almost essential on every rig.

 

Perhaps adding a mini tutorial on how to create a merged path and using Fo3edit's masterupdate mode? It might go a long way towards pinning this topic. I'd be willing to do it as well, but it might be better to put it in the first post. (especially if this topic does indeed gets pinned)

 

Just my 2 cents. (lol at your sig btw :tongue: )

[Tamujiin]

Your right black, added the tutorial, if anybody feels the need to add anything, be my guest, if you think it should be posted in the first post just say so :)

Well, for now, I really don't have anything else to add. I'll let you know if I happen to think of anything else.

 

Oh, and thanks for adding the tutorial by the way.

[mysticwolfnhell]

you are missing fook2 and all compatability patches :) Although it might be a good idea to wait on that considering the newest open beta doesnt include the new stuff from eve .97 but hey.. i thoroughly enjoy fook2 with the 20th centurty weapons and the associated cps...i have probably 120 mods on my fallout 3 and so far ive only crashed maybe twice... i also run the obse plugin for oblivion (crash prevention system) on fose for fallout 3 and it has solved any issues i had with closing issues or returning to main menu...

[goonrich]

I don't mean to be a bum when i just started here but maybe you could list the names of the mods? I know most of them but files like mydog.esm and kikaiequipment.esm are completely foreign to me. -Edit- I mean their corresponding mods

'

 

 

 

This is great and really helpful though. Good job it must have taken you awhile :)

I dont mean to revive my dead thread, But instead of starting a new one, about the same thing, i figured it would be better to work off of this one, as its the same thing, I am totally redoing this as of march 22 2012, as i got a new rig, ( which doesnt suck BTW!) and i will post my NEW load order as i notice some of these mods are not around any more, I will attempt to use the fallout 3 version of wrye bash, ( but keeping in mind i didnt use it at all )

I will also be doing something similar for New Vegas, and skyrim, ( if need be as i havent even installed skyrim due to buying it for my 360 first, yeah thats where ive been!) I may attempt to delve into dragon age also.

So with that i say adue, until my next edit of this post :) I apologize if reviving this thread offends anyone.

 

EDIT: new load order as of March 22, 2012

 

 

Testing bugs, havent noticed much, got some more to add.

[Cyracus2134]

I know this is off topic but i wanted to thank Tamujiin for setting a path for me to start learning how to set up mods. had no experience and now i'm finding conflicts and doing my best to fix them. didn't even know where to start. Still just learning how to work Fo3edit but hopefully can learn enough to get things working. look forward to trying your set up after i have my fun.

[EmperorVids]

What order should i use with Real Time Settler, Weapon Mod Kits, Underground Hideout and Groovy Followers

[JessicaPH]

What about conflicts and bugs? Great post by the way, but is it mostly bug free?
