FAllout 3 mods won't work.

[Sinistermuffin]

So, I've recently purchased Fallout 3 for the PC and have downloaded some mods for it, I already know how to install mods, for I own Oblivion, but for some reason whenever I check the Data File I wish to use, it wont apply it in-game, and if I click DATA FILES on the launcher after hitting OK and closing the window, none of my mods have a check next to their name, anyone know what's wrong?

fallout data manager does that. its a known issue. download and try out FOMM (fallout mod manager).

 

Also if your trying to add stuff to the game, make sure u have archive invalidation file, and that in: my documents/my games/fallout 3/fallout3.ini the line where its says: "binvalidateolderfiles=0" says "binvalidateolderfiles=1"

I downloaded a few mods for Fallout 3 GOTY and now my game won't start. It just stops working for like a second after it starts up. This only happens with some mods and i really want these mods.

This also happens with Skyrim and Fallout New Vegas.

please someone help me.

Seriously, start your own topic. You just replied to a thread that's over 5 years old.

I have this same issue as well, I've tried most of the solutions but they still won't work. I have all of the required master files and still they refuse to work.

The only one that actually works is the Street Lights mod. Literally, just that one.
