Mr Goostoff's ADVENTURES IN MODDINGI know that more than likely no one will read this, but I need to document my journey along the path of Fallout 3 Modding (on the PC of course).
I was surfing the web for cool Fallout 3 stuff and came across a website that hosted mods =O
Found a few cool mods, learned how to install and use them, all cool.
BUT THEN. I came across a mod that I knew I couldn't live without: Weapon Mod Kits.
So Begins Mr Goostoff's Adventures in Modding...
Download, place mods in correct files, play game.
Nope, turns out that I downloaded the wrong version.
Delete mod files, go back to site, find mod, download correct mod file.
Place mod in correct files, play game.
Now i get a notice saying that I'm not running FOSE and this message will display every 10 seconds until I run FOSE.
It does.
Close game, Google whatever the hell FOSE is.
Find FOSE, download, run FOSE.
Nope, it needs to be placed in the Fallout 3 folder.
Place FOSE in Fallout 3 folder, run.
Nope, that version of FOSE doesn't support my version of Fallout 3.
Delete FOSE files, download correct version of FOSE.
Run FOSE. Wait a second, where'd all my save files go?
Close Fallout 3, spend half an hour googling the answer.
Move save files to a different folder.
Play Fallout 3. Continue last save.
Huh? This save is depending on items no longer available?
Well, I'm not sure what that means, so I'll Load anyways.
Wait a minute... Where'd all my expansion packs go?
Close Fallout 3. Google the answer.
Copy+Paste path name for the hidden Expansion pack files.
Do a search for them.
Discover that I'm supposed to replace "User Name" with my actual user name.
Redo that 5 minute search.
Notice I forgot to check "Include hidden files"
Redo the now 10 minute search.
Find the files, take a few minutes to find out which ones are the actual expansion files.
Move the correct files into the Fallout/Data folder.
Start up game.
Great success.
Gotta love modding <3
