ItsJono Posted July 9, 2011 Share Posted July 9, 2011 Hello there Veterans of FO3 modding! I have a relatively simple question. I've bought FO3:GOTY today and installed a few mods. I've got my load order all sorted out in FOMM and I can run the game just fine through FOMM (Launch -> Fallout3.exe in FOMM). No issues. My question is this: Can I just launch the game from Steam Library now since i've got my mod order sorted out so I can make use of useful features such as Steam Overlay while I play in game and get achievements? Or must I ALWAYS run through FOMM to get the load order sorted out? Below is a SS of my mod order: http://i.imgur.com/ucQit.jpg + NMC Texture Pack Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ccmechanic2 Posted July 9, 2011 Share Posted July 9, 2011 If that game runs with out steam, leave it alone, you get steam involved with a store bought game, it will become disabled thru steams net work. Then they will force you to download the same game from them and but it online again. Is that what you want? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously i've taken the liberty of disabling GFWL, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roguim Posted July 12, 2011 Share Posted July 12, 2011 I have fallout New Vegas, and yes you can start your game from steam, your load order will remain. Same thing begging thought the launchers's shortcut in the desktop also FOSE works with Steam too (i know you didn't ask about it but i think it's good to inform you about it) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
