Fallout mod manager and how

[sentry56]

Ok i finally figured out that you need or can use this program to make mods much easier on you, well once again i am having problems getting mods to work.

 

1. i dont know how to use the program

2. if somebody can teach me or guide me in using this program that would be great

Download FOMM

 

Run FOMM

 

Tick any mods you want to work.

 

Make sure your mods are in Your Fallout 3/Data directory.

 

It doesn't get any simpler than that.

Everything goes in the data folder. If there is an .esp it goes in data. If there are included textures or meshes those folders go in data also.

 

Well constructed mods will unpack with the proper structure already in place.

 

To get mods to work at all the line

bInvalidateOlderFiles=1

must be in your fallout.ini (the one in my documents/my games, not program files)

 

I don't know if fomm will make that change or if you still need to do that yourself.
