TLC77 Posted October 10, 2020 Share Posted October 10, 2020 Hey guys, I have a quick question about FOOK. So, I tried installing FOOK through FOMM, and I got an error message. I discovered that FOMM is a 32 bit application or something, so I turned to the next best thing, Vortex. When I downloaded all of the required files, it showed told me that everything is fine and when I checked in the plugins section, it showed me that all of the .esms and .esps that FOOK had were installed and enabled. When I went into the game however, there was literally nothing, nothing new at all. i checked the data folder and there were no FOOK plugins and no textures, meshes, etc. from FOOK in the files. I don't know what to do, and thanks in advance!Note: i also have FWE installed, which files should I overwrite if asked? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M48A5 Posted October 10, 2020 Share Posted October 10, 2020 None. It is impossible to run both FOOK and FWE in the same game. Vortex is the worst mod manager to use for FO3. It uses LOOT to sort your mods and LOOT has never sorted FO3 mods correctly. From what I understand, Vortex does not put anything in the data folder. I don't use it, so if you need help with it, you will have to go to the Vortex forum. The fact that FOMM is a 32 bit application is meaningless. FO3 is a 32 bit game. FOMM has worked for me in Windows Vista (32bit) and Windows 7 (64) bit. I have been using it for at least nine years without a problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disregard that FOOK and FWE cannot be run at the same time, I can find compability patches. FOOK's page directly states that installing it through FOMM isn't as simple as with other mods. I have MO2 but I don't know if it can be used to download FOOK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, Vortex does not "Suck", the problem is that FOOk is packaged incorrectly and will extract to the wrong folderPeople just love to blame Vortex for everything.

I just kinda assumed, because many people recommended other mod managers. Anyways, getting back on track, what can I do in this situation? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M48A5 Posted October 11, 2020 Share Posted October 11, 2020 You can try all the compatibility patches you can find and they will not help. It is known that FOOK and FWE will not run together. It is known. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Going by your first post, you should be able to play the game now, IF you've gotten rid of either FOOK or FWE.That was your initial problem, and if you've removed one or the other, then you shouldn't need further help.

Uhh, no. I physically cannot download it through FOMM, and Vortex does not install ANY of the FOOK files. That is the problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's nothing on the FOMM page that says it can download mods. Either download it MANUALLY, and repackage it so Vortex or any other modern mod manager can install it, or download it manually and install it with FOOKLiterally all that's standing between you and downloading and installing FOOK is pressing the MANUAL DOWNLOAD button.
