Need Help Modding

[DigitalBlasphemer]

I had to install the version of FOMM you listed there, and it's now added to Steam, but I'm not seeing tweaks file anywhere.

There's an option under the tools tab in FOMM that says "install tweaker", but that's the closest to anything tweak related I can find.

So far so good. Starting new game, gonna get through 101. Go ahead and hit me with the next step while I'm getting through this.

And again, thanks for taking the time to help me.

Ok To let you know, currently have two of you with almost identical problems and it's a fine line I have to deal with between you two.

Both issues the same. But both machines not the same.

 

so first, it's a new game? Or the thing just won't launch ?

New game running smooth after doing all that. Did all steps in order, everything double checked, started new game, currently in the playpen as a baby, so far so good, no screw ups, no crashes, game is running smoothly with no stuttering or lag.

I have the faith.

So, update...

I've been progressing, slower than I want, but having played before, I wanted to break the game a bit.

So, I added a bunch of perks, maxed my skills and special off the flip. (None of this has ever caused problems before, so I figured why not).

I have like 8 backup saves, just in case.

I've also been experimenting with opening doors I shouldn't be able to open, (not inaccessible, just very hard locked), and that hasn't done anything yet.

One thing though I am testing currently...

This version of FOMM, for whatever reason, had the load order incorrect...

For me, it's always been FO3, OA, TP, BS, PL, and lastly, MZ.

That's how it has ALWAYS been.

This time, everything was out of whack.

I had to rearrange.

Had to put FO3 first, cause it was listed 3rd. Wasn't paying attention and apparently TP was 4th, PL was 3rd, and Bs was 2nd.

So, I saved, exited, switched the order to the correct order, and just loaded it up. Everything loaded fine. Now to continue where I left off and see if it goes smoothly

Alright, just got out of 101, waited a bit for all the DLC messages to kick in, then saved and exited.

No problems from last update.

Then it picked up the old Loot versions of the plugin.txt because the #1 reason i wanted you to use that versions was self contained Plugin.txt.

so no, it's not Fomms fault. It's a left over data on the system left behind from the other version.

 

Here's brief summary of what found in Loots Idea of load ordering.

but you keep going.

I'm ready whenever you are, though I might have to table this for a minute so I can eat dinner and spend time with my friend.

If you wanna hit me with next step, that's cool, or we can wait. Up to you.
