jozoz Posted March 22, 2013 Posted March 22, 2013 Will it just be a matter of backing up my Fallout 3 GOTY folder and the saves and then paste them into my new PC? If not please instruct me how :)
M48A5 Posted March 22, 2013 Posted March 22, 2013 Copy and paste would work for some things, but in order to use some of the utilities, you need to install the game so that an entry is made in the registry. Just copying does not create a registry entry. I know that if you try to use BOSS after moving the game without installing it, BOSS will not work. It uses the registry entry for Fallout 3 to locate the game. I am not sure about any others.
geoflo Posted March 22, 2013 Posted March 22, 2013 No, do a fresh install of game and mods that u have and then copy your saved games in the " users" dir to the same dir on your new one. That way u don't have to go through the whole thing again. Worked for me.
