Project beauty glitch

[deadsmiles]

Ever since I downloaded project beauty my game's been messed up. At first the problem was that my pipboy light would just become an error sign infront of me and it also didn't let me exit out of the game. After some tinkering it got worse, I have the Mika follower mod and wanted to use project beauty on her but instead she became an error sign, and now I am nothing but a large error sign and I don't know how to fix it.

Very simple solution to that problem, find the project beauty esp and esm files that are now probably floating in your FO3 directory and put those in the Data file.

 

Dracomies should really get around to fixing that simple mistake. It's easy enough to rectify yourself but most people don't notice the plugins were placed alongside the Data folder instead of inside. I had the same problem, I thought Project Beauty had messed everything up but no, just some misplaced files.

Extremely unlikely. Mainly because there really isn't anything to "fix" about it at all.

 

The Project Beauty mod was created and released long before a "mod manager" such as the Nexus Mod Manager came into existence.

 

Instead, it was created and released back when one still installed mods the old-fashioned manual way.

I don't think the problem described above has much to do with a mod manager, be it FOMM or NMM. The problem some people run into is of their own making; not actually looking at what they're dragging over to their FO3 directory.

 

You're right though, it's not really something to 'fix' per say nor is Dracomies obliged to change anything in the RAR. When this happened to me I didn't think it was much of a big deal and easily sorted it out. However I've noticed a few people post about this a number of times who don't figure out what the problem is on their own.

Maybe just a big bold sentence is needed to be added somewhere on the front page saying "STOP SAYING IT'S BROKEN. YOU NEED TO PLACE THE PLUGGIN FILES IN YOUR DATA FOLDER TOGETHER WITH THE MESHES AND TEXTURES. DON'T JUST DRAG EVERYTHING OVER TO YOUR FO3 DIRECTORY". Although, more than likely, people won't bother reading that either and you'll still have posts complaining it's broken when it's not.
