Wintersc Posted May 9, 2012 Share Posted May 9, 2012 I have Fallout 3 1.7 installed. I'm using the Fallout 3 mod manager. When I install mods they appear in the list of installed mods in the package manager. However some mods do not appear in the list that you see when you first open FOMM. These are the mods that will not work for me in game. I would appreciate any help you can give me on this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M48A5 Posted May 9, 2012 Share Posted May 9, 2012 If you have properly installed and activated the mods in package manager, they will appear in the list when you open FOMM. After installation, you have to highlight and activate the mod. A check mark will appear in the box to the left of the mod title. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes the mods are installed and activated and are not appearing in the list when I open FOMM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlackRampage Posted May 10, 2012 Share Posted May 10, 2012 Not all mods can be installed via FoMM's package manager. Try installing them manually instead. Oh, and where did you install FoMM? (yes, it matters greatly) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlackRampage Posted May 10, 2012 Share Posted May 10, 2012 If you have the latest version (0.13.21) then it doesn't really matters where you install it, as long as it's not in the Fallout 3 main folder or any of it's sub-folders. If you did, your mods won't show up in FoMM's load order. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you did, your mods won't show up in FoMM's load order. I'm actually using an older version. I'll try installing it in a different location.

BlackRampage Posted May 10, 2012 Share Posted May 10, 2012 In that case I'd suggest downloading the newest version while you're at it. Newest version can be found here: FoMM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Newest version can be found here: FoMM The newest version would be the combined Fallout 3 and Fallout New Vegas mod manager yes? I tried using that but it crashed when I tried installing any mods.

It'll work just as well if you don't have New Vegas. I tried using that but it crashed when I tried installing any mods.No idea, but that might have been because you had it installed in the Fallout 3 directory.
