AlfredTetzlaff Posted May 7, 2013 Share Posted May 7, 2013 Hi, I might be totally wrong here (never used the Fallout Version of Wrye, just the Oblivion one), but I think in order to be recognized those archives have to be "BAIN-ready". Have a look at the Nexus Wiki for an explanation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thomriis Posted May 7, 2013 Author Share Posted May 7, 2013 Ahhh thats why; So this means i can only use a handful of Bainready mods. By the way can you convert other mods to be bain ready ?? And one more question can you use FOMM along with WRYE . Im beginning to get the hang of modding, But fallout 3 is so much more complex to mod than oblivion and when your native language is not english its a jungle out there understanding all these terms :turned: Thanks for your help I really appreciate it.

AlfredTetzlaff Posted May 8, 2013 Share Posted May 8, 2013 I wish I could :smile: Mostly it depends on your System, used Mods and (unfortunately) Luck. Well, my last play-through ended over 3 Years ago, but here a few things I do remember:Check out this Guide, especially that part about the multi-core fix.Other things to consider:- Always install outside of the ProgramFiles directory, especially when modding a game - turn off all In-game auto-save functions, use CASM instead (always worked for me)- Don't use quick-saves. Both quick- and auto-saves can cause save-game corruption (Major Issue in Oblivion, also valid for Fallout3)- Before adding any mods, make sure the vanilla game works, that means play at least until you enter the outside world for the first time.- Don't add a bunch of mods at the same time, test after each one- Sort your load-order with BOSS and keep your merged (or bashed) patch up to date Other tools which might help:http://fallout3.nexusmods.com/mods/6510/?http://fallout3.nexusmods.com/mods/8886/? Hope this helps a bit :thumbsup: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
