Deleted21304489User Posted April 2, 2017 Share Posted April 2, 2017 (edited) You know what bothers me about installing mods? All the clutter that certain mod authors create in my DATA folder. I swear to God, I get rid of almost a gig of unnecessary files each time I do an install. I like my data folder to be as lean as possible, without all the clutter that gets installed. IE: tokens, jpegs, gifs, ads, folders, etc. I've even had other mods loaded into my data folder when installing certain mods. I guess as a way of propping up other peoples work. Newsflash: If I want someone's mod, I'll download it myself. Just recommend it. You sticking it in my DATA folder when I use a mod manager, does nothing to inform me that it is there, nor should you even be doing it in the first place. Bloating my FO3 directory like that is not cool people. Finally, what good does it do to install a gif or jpeg into my data folder? They belong on the mod page, on your image tab... not my game directory. :tongue: What bothers you about installing mods?

BlackRampage Posted April 9, 2017 Share Posted April 9, 2017 Lol, that makes 2 of us. I remember downloading some (rather nice) armor mod and getting an entire folder added to my data directory filled with all the pictures the author had uploaded to the image tab. I mean, they really showed the quality of armor I just downloaded, but that's just it. I just downloaded the darn thing based on those very same images on the image tab. There is still something else that sometimes bother me about installing mods, though the average user won't ever be troubled by it or even notice it. Still having to check mods in xEdit for dirty edits after installing them. And still finding them.Yeah, I know, ITM's and UDR's can be easily removed by means of xEdit's automated "cleaning" features, but I still often find other "wild edits" xEdit cannot remove, but are still there and do not serve any purpose whatsoever aside for becoming a conflicting record. I mean come on, at least load your mod in xEdit once before uploading and have a quick look at it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deleted21304489User Posted April 10, 2017 Author Share Posted April 10, 2017 (edited) Yeah... no doubt. Clean your mods people. LOL Hey, while I got you... and on the subject of cleaning mods. I've never cleaned Blackened, because I think I read that if you do, if will break the in game pipboy menus for MMM. Is this correct? I think xEDIT reports something like 22 ITM records, if I remember correctly. Just looking for an absolute on this. :smile: Edited April 10, 2017 by ejroberts49 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlackRampage Posted April 10, 2017 Share Posted April 10, 2017 Ugh, I haven't even looked at, let alone touched that mod in what seems like an eternity. Not worth the time and trouble updating anymore anyway. But anyway, you are correct about the ITM's. They belong to the "Master Menu Module" part of MMM, which was included in Blackened. Wasn't any other way to keep the menu module without just including it into the patches in it's entirety. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deleted21304489User Posted April 11, 2017 Author Share Posted April 11, 2017 Thanks for the clarification. It's great work that you and all did on it. A great contribution to this game... no doubt. Kudos !! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WINDWAIK3R Posted May 9, 2017 Share Posted May 9, 2017 (edited) ENB's. They're fairly easy to install once you get the hang of it but I don't know how many times I've broken my game trying to uninstall ones that have textures that I didn't see install or accidentally removed the bink32 or something purging all of the files(ENB's with Sweetfx I'm looking at you). And yeah I hate the bloated folders too, it took me forever to kinda memorize where everything is suppose to go and whats not supposed to be there.
