FOMM Crash

[HobosinSpace]

This might not be the right place, but it seemed close enough. FOMM absolutely refuses to work with Fallout 3 after I re-installed the game. Whenever I try to use it, it crashes and tells me something bad seems to have happened. That kinda sucks, because some mods come as fomods and are harder to find as just manual installs.

I've been using the Nexus mod manager, but that doesn't seem to work with the Fallout games as well as FOMM does. So, questions.

 

1. Any idea what's up with FOMM/my game?

2. Can I install fomod packages with the nexus mod manager?

I have a similar issue with FONV. I installed the Nexus Mod Manager and tried it on FONV, but did not use it for FO3. I started having some issues with the NMM and removed it, from that point on, FOMM would not work with FONV, but I could still use it with FO3. Long story short, I un-installed both games, FO3 and FONV and FOMM and then de-fragged my drive. I then re-installed the games (clean install) and then FOMM thinking I would then be able to use FOMM for both games once again.

 

NOPE! FOMM would not work with FONV, and I have no clue why. After much frustration, I ended up installing the NMM once again and that is what I have to use for FONV, but I can still use the FOMM for FO3 and the other games ( Oblivion and Skyrim). I have no clue what is going on, but since I installed NMM, It some how has changed or corrupted FOMM and GECK (my guess) and how it works. Further, I cannot get GECK NV to work correctly since installing NMM either.

 

Getting off the subject just a bit, I am thinking that I will end up removing both games again and then installing them on my old XP machine and start over. I installed both games on my new system which uses WIN 7 /64 bit / Ulitimate...and I'm thinking that has something to do with it, but really have no idea. For now, I cannot use FOMM for FONV, I get the same message..." something bad has happened...blah! "

 

Not any help here, but you should be able to do a manual install for any mods you want or continue to use the NMM. While I appreciate the work that went into the NMM, I wish I had never tried it out now as FOMM worked just fine before and I had use of the GECK NV, but not after I installed the NMM.

 

Maybe some one else has some ideas on this subject.
