New to modding! ;]

Alright well im new to the website and new to modding.

I currently do not have fallout for the pc....my laptop broke and I am getting a new one very soon.

I will have my new pc and fallout within a month.

Now im sorry if this is in the wrong forum.

Anyway, I just need to know...when I download a mod where do I need to put it?

Im pretty sure when you download a mod for a game like this that'd I'd have to put it somewhere and most likely different mods in different places.

If there is a topic about this send me the link please if not, post a reply.

Thanks

Put it in the data folder in your Fallout 3 directory.

I'd recommend taking a gander @ http://thenexusforums.com/index.php?showtopic=83642 (if you haven't already) It should answer alot of questions you might have.

Having trouble putting a 1st person model object into the G.e.c.k for a custom weapon im trying to make .. can some one link me a page telling me how to do it Or just tell me?

basically, go to the "Static" tree.

 

then click right click and go "new"

 

import you're mesh using the "Edit" button on you're "new" referance.

 

check the "Collision geomatery" box and then name it "1stpersonMYWEAPON"

 

save you're file.

 

now, create a new weapon referance, name it etc

go to "art and sound"

 

hit EDIT and select you're weapons .nif file.

 

then, find the "1st person model" drop down.

 

select the earlier created referance "1stpersonMYWEAPON" or w/e you named it.

 

this will now display you're weapon as a world object AND will display it when equipt
