installing FWE question

[BlackRampage]

You reinstalled everything? Including or excluding the game itself? When you reinstall everything it's best to install 1 mod at a time and then check in game if everything works like it should. Adding a ton of mods at once (including quest mods) is not recommended.

 

I also don't see any real flaws in your load order, but I must admit to not having FWE, so I don't know where it's supposed to go in your load order, let alone whether it conflicts with other mods. (excluding the obvious FOIP stuff of course)

 

The only thing I could recommend changing is putting the weather mod .esp's all the way at the bottom. Weather mods always need to load last.

That's all I can think of right now :confused:

yeah, everything includes the game. i installed and tested the major mods one at a time ( FWE, MMM, WMK, EVE, iron sights, and apocalypse armory) then started with groups of smaller mods based on category: radio stations, companions, etc. my only goal was getting the game to launch. i also rearranged things so that fo3 editor would work. i tested a new game a little and had some weird problems caused by apocalypse armory which is not officially compatible with FWE anyway .

 

after entering an interior i was unable to open any containers, use vats or enter the escape menu. the V and Esc keys were unresponsive and the cabinets just opened and closed. the only other problem i noticed was was a lot of red ! triangles on NPCs but that isn't a big deal. i'm just going to think of them as giant bulls-eyes until i have the patience to narrow down the problem.

 

 

correction: apocalypse armory was not the cause of the unresponsive keys. i entered megaton for the first time with AA off and ran into the problem again. looks like i have a lot more work to do.

i've worked everything out and have been gaming stable for a week or so now. i still have some minor issues like texture and follower troubles and the occasional crash but since i ditched Apocalypse Armory the game is completely playable. here is my final load order in case it will help anyone. made by following the FWE team's suggested load order then running fo3masterupdate and fo3edit to create the merge patch.

Meathos - Hello!

 

"but since i ditched Apocalypse Armory"

 

Apocalypse Armory works great! The only serious trouble that can happen with Apocalypse Armory is if you install with V191_BETA_COMPLETE & don't heed the warning to use the V193_UPDATE with it.

 

If you use V191_BETA_COMPLETE, you MUST use the V191_BETA_COMPLETE.

 

There are detailed installation instructions for that here:

 

http://sites.google.com/site/apocalypsearmoryfallout/installation-instructions

 

Plus an FAQ for common troubles with it here:

 

http://sites.google.com/site/apocalypsearmoryfallout/f-a-q

 

As for your load order, there are a few problems.

 

Mart's Mutant Mod - Zones Respawn.esp

Mart's Mutant Mod - Tougher Traders.esp

Mart's Mutant Mod - Natural Selection.esp

Mart's Mutant Mod - Master Menu Module.esp

 

Are all included in the Mart's Mutant Mod - FWE Master Release.esp so untick & delete them.

 

That should leave that part of your load order something like this:

 

Mart's Mutant Mod.esp

Mart's Mutant Mod - DLC Anchorage.esp

Mart's Mutant Mod - DLC The Pitt.esp

Mart's Mutant Mod - DLC Broken Steel.esp

Mart's Mutant Mod - DLC Point Lookout.esp

Mart's Mutant Mod - DLC Zeta.esp

Mart's Mutant Mod - Project Beauty.esp

Mart's Mutant Mod - FWE Master Release.esp

Mart's Mutant Mod - FWE Master Release + DLCs.esp

Mart's Mutant Mod - FWE Master Release + Project Beauty.esp

Mart's Mutant Mod - Project Beauty + FWE.esp

 

Your Mart's Mutant Mod.esm is in the correct place so leave that alone.

 

There's a load order example listed here:

 

https://sites.google.com/site/fo3wanderersedition/installation

 

I'm just a little sketchy as to the placement of:

 

Mart's Mutant Mod - FWE Master Release + Project Beauty.esp

 

As it's not listed. Checking it out in FO3Plugin Utility seems to point to it simply being a patch to the main Mart's Mutant Mod - FWE Master Release.esp so I've placed it accordingly.

 

No doubt BOSS:

 

http://www.fallout3nexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=10193

 

Would know for sure, that program is a handy autosort utility that is very good for sorting complex load orders.

 

Don't forget to remake your Merged Patch afterwards.

 

Hope this helps!
