MrDojo Posted July 1, 2011 Share Posted July 1, 2011 hey guys, im new here :)I am ready for my first playtrough of this game! I checked out some mods and had found these to be stunning: http://bolly-masty.blogspot.com/2011/02/fallout-3-global-mod-pack-v20-2011-full.html But sadly when I downloaded them all the readme files where in russian (+ a weird transcription). So my question is how to install these mods. Thanks in advance guys! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bben46 Posted July 1, 2011 Share Posted July 1, 2011 Installing Russian language mods can cause problems. Usually some in game items and dialogs with NPCs will be renamed using the Cyrillic (Russian) alphabet - which can be a little hard to read for me. There is a good probability that these same mods are available on other sites in an English or whatever your language version is. We do not support mod compilations here mainly because they are usually not approved or supported by the authors of the original mods. That one looks as if it could also be a pirate version which we cannot and will not support here. Often mod packs are compilations of a bunch of mods - so if one mod causes problems, such as needs an update or has dirty edits that cause crashes - The entire mod pack will have to be scrapped. Not many mod authors will bother to support a a mod they made if it is included in unauthorized compilation of their work. That is one of the reasons why we don't allow compilations here. Also, just because a mod pack works on one computer is no guarantee that it will work properly on yours. Some mods have settings that are hardware dependent - so if you have different hardware than the guy that made the compilation, or you have just one other mod that is incompatible, you just lost many hours of work. It's much better to get the mods individually and from a legal source where you will understand the language. That way, you will know what you really have and can replace or remove any one mod that gives problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tested all mods and found out which was causing the errors. Are there any more graphical mods that can improve the game other than the ones from that site I posted ?
