dubstyles Posted November 12, 2008 Share Posted November 12, 2008 OK, i understand the problem with esp files not showing up as checked in the launcher, but my problem is that i have no plugins.txt file!! I also un-hid the folders so that is not the issue...I'm experienced with installing and deleting mods in Oblivion, i had over 100 mods installed and never had issues. So in excruciating detail here is the situation: In XP i went to c\Documents and Settings\ where i had three folders: All Users, Default User, and (my user profile). The only one of these three folders that contained a Fallout3 folder in its Application Data folder is All Users. I have the following files in the Fallout3 folder of All Users:Data1dat1.hdrdata2engine32layoutsetup.exesetup.txtsetup.inxsetup.bmpsetup.ibtsetup.isn As you can see the is no plugins'txt file, what is going on? I know some mods "might" be working because the no god mode in VATS caused the game to warn me that some files have changed etc... just like when switching oblivion mods. I just want to check and see what mods are loading, but i can't find the file that tells me!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dubstyles Posted November 16, 2008 Author Share Posted November 16, 2008 any ideas? Mods are working for me i tested the speed mod and vats difficulty and both work as they should. It's odd that the game does not write a plugins.txt file. If i create one will it conflict with anything? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zumbs Posted November 16, 2008 Share Posted November 16, 2008 You looked in the wrong place. The plugins.txt is located in: C:\Documents and Settings\<Username>\Local Settings\Application Data\Fallout 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dubstyles Posted November 18, 2008 Author Share Posted November 18, 2008 No i didn't look in the wrong place i just omitted the full folder structure when typing this post. C:\Documents and Settings\<Username>\Local Settings\Application Data\Fallout 3 Those user names are All Users, Default User, and (my Username). Now only All Users had a Fallout 3 folder in the App Data folder, and it did not contain a plugins.txt. Am i supposed to make said file and manually add in the names of the esps i want running?

Zumbs Posted November 18, 2008 Share Posted November 18, 2008 Ummm, the path you described were C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Fallout 3. That directory also contain the files you describe in your initial post. You need to look in C:\Documents and Settings\<Username>\Local Settings\Application Data\Fallout 3. Anyways, I would stop using the terribly bugged launcher, and start using Fallout Mod Manager (FOMM). Among other things, it actually allow you to load new mods, show the mods you wish to load and launch the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dubstyles Posted November 19, 2008 Author Share Posted November 19, 2008 The devil is in the details my friends, thank you for your help. I was not aware their was a mod manager available for Fallout 3 already, thanks for the heads up! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
