DominusAnulorum Posted August 2, 2012 Share Posted August 2, 2012 (edited) I tried installing mods for the first time into fallout 3, but it did not work. Fallout 3 crashes every time I open it and I have no idea why. I used BOSS for load order and the fallout mod manager to load the mods. I am using the energy weapons mod, the ehanced weather mod, marten's mutant mod, the wanderer's edition mod, fellout (quick question, do I overwrite the enhanced weather files with fellout, or the fellout files with enhanced weather?), fallout redesigned, and nmcs texture packs (the last two I installed directly into the fallout directory). When I try to use fallout edit, it says there is an error and I cannot edit. To top it all, when I moved out the data folder with the mods and tried putting my backup in, the backup data folder dissapeared! I cannot find it anywhere, but it still takes up space on my hdd. I really need help with these mods. Edit: It seems the data folder was deleted when I tried to put it into the fallout 3 folder, for whatever reason. But I still cannot launch fallout 3. Is there a way to uninstall all the mods and try again? Edited August 2, 2012 by DominusAnulorum Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlackRampage Posted August 2, 2012 Share Posted August 2, 2012 (edited) (quick question, do I overwrite the enhanced weather files with fellout, or the fellout files with enhanced weather?)Depends on your own preference. If you overwrite the Fellout textures with the enhanced weather textures, the nightsky will become less dark. Edit: It seems the data folder was deleted when I tried to put it into the fallout 3 folder, for whatever reason.If you really have deleted your Data folder, then you're going to have to reinstall the game, since the Data folder also contains vanilla files which are essential to the game.

DominusAnulorum Posted August 2, 2012 Author Share Posted August 2, 2012 I still have the old data folder. I put it back and used the mod manager to uninstall all the mods, which got fallout 3 working. I still do not know why fallout edit did not work and what the compatibility issue was. Also, why does the plug-in for project beauty (aka fallout redesigned) not appear on the mod manager? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlackRampage Posted August 2, 2012 Share Posted August 2, 2012 I still do not know why fallout edit did not workI'm assuming you're referring to FO3Edit? It didn't work because it relies on files in your Data folder to properly load. (like the Fallout3.esm file) Also, why does the plug-in for project beauty (aka fallout redesigned) not appear on the mod manager?No idea. Try installing it manually.

DominusAnulorum Posted August 2, 2012 Author Share Posted August 2, 2012 I have found which mod is causing issues. The EVE and EWE mods cause FO3 edit to generate an error message; it works fien if the two mods are uninstalled. Why is the game having issues with these two mods? I installed compatibility patches for it and WE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlackRampage Posted August 2, 2012 Share Posted August 2, 2012 (edited) What kind of error message? I can't help you if you don't give me some basic info. Edit: And please post your load order too. Edited August 2, 2012 by BlackRampage Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
