problems with mods

[Ject67]

Hey guys, when I install a mod into the game, and start the game up and go to data file, I check those boxes to load those games up and click ok. When I go back to the data files option, everything besides fallout3.esm is unchecked. I've gone to mydocuments/mygames/fallout3/ and changed bInvalidateOlderFiles and changed it from a 0 to a 1

 

What else do I have to do to get these mods working?

From what I've read this is just a launcher problem, the esp's are activated they just don't show up as such.

I've the same problem.

Every time I look in the launcher - all esp files are unchecked.

Ingame is still no changing too. The Mod's are all inactive.

Can someone help me out?

Heh, didn't see that other thread. Well for me, all esp's remain unchecked everytime I have a look, but they still work ingame though.

You might try adding a "plugins.txt" file to "\My Documents\My Games\Fallout3" directory.

 

one way to get this file, is to go to where ever you have Fallout 3 loaded, go into the data directory, open a command prompt in that directory, and in the command prompt window, type this:

 

dir *.esp /b >plugins.txt

 

what this does: dir *.esp lists all files with the extension of .esp (doesnt matter what the name is, as long as the extension is .esp)

 

the /B Uses bare format (no heading information or summary).

 

and the >plugins.txt puts the text that would have been output on the screen into the file "plugins.txt"

then move that file into the "\My Documents\My Games\Fallout3" directory.
