Just picked up Fallout 3 GOTY Edition on Steam the other day, since I never tried the expansions, and haven't played it in years. Never got into modding it back in the day, either, but I want to now. Which ones should I really check out? Also, everyone always says Fellout, so I was looking on the nexus site at that, but I'm a little confused. There seems to be a bunch of 'optional' files for different versions of Fellout. Which ones do I need? Just got Fallout 3 GOTY Edition on Steam, so it has all the DLC/expansions, and is the latest version. I don't have the DLCs activated right now, though.

The same thing happened to me as soon as I tried any mods, including DarnUI. There are some anti-crash mods I know of, and I'll update after testing, but I'd wager this boils down to the more-than-one-core issue this game has always had.

I just installed Fo3 from GOG.com and it starts a little bit different than DVD version I've got. After Fo3 Launcher (when I hit 'Play') I can see black screen only with Win7 'busy circle'.. but in the center of screen is area where mouse cursor looks like normal for Win7. When it was in 'center area' I clicked and hit Esc key and game started. Such screen showed only once and next time Fo3 run normal.

so to sum up what i tested:
xp sp3 compatibility
start as admin
windowed mode
switched off second monitor via settings
so far no fallout for me :(

there where remnants of old save files and .ini files from corrupted old installations...
i deleted them and still it crashed, but it wanted to test my graphicscard. so i looked into the options, chose my resolution according to my monitor and switched from HDR to bloom and there it goes.
changed settings to ultra and HDR again and it works now.
the old savegames and inis seem to cause these problems.. sigh, my pc is a mess. i need to make a clean setup sometime.. so thank you all..

Download the .dll file and drop it right into the Fallout 3 folder from the compressed RAR file. It should help your issue. I was having the same issue with this game and will also try for New Vegas next. It was crashing on start despite my efforts to bypass this. The file got it going.
Hope this helps.

I had this issue but have just fixed it by installing the scripted extender and then the New Vegas anti crash plugin, you can find it here:

It has loaded every time since for me. It crashed every before I tried it.

Hope this helps. I was having the same issue for Fallout 3, so I googled for a solution and found this thread; I tried your method and it worked perfectly! At first I thought a mod I was using was causing the crashing, but after un/re installing with no mods, it still kept crashing; now everything runs great and I haven't had any crashes since. Thank you very much for posting this, as it helped me out a lot!

- 2.2The Folder Structure

- 10X) Links
Must Haves
- a 'Data Compression Utility' like 7zip, WinRAR, IZArc or TUGZip -> to extract file archives
- Nexus Mod Manager (NMM) -> The official Mod Manager. Currently in beta stage and regarding tools not as powerful as FOMM, but more features will follow
- Fallout Mod Manager (FOMM) -> optional Fallout Launcher providing very useful Modding-Tool, like BSA browser, BSA creator and TESsnip
- Fallout Script Extender (FOSE) -> many Mods require its additional scripting commands to work
Recommended Additions
- FO3Edit -> detects Conflicts between Mods, a powerful tool for Mod editing
- Better Oblivion Sorting Software for Fallout3 (BOSS for FO3) -> sorts your load order automatically
- Fallout Mod Sorter (FOMS) -> another load order helper
- ArchiveInvalidation Invalidated -> does the whole 'ArchiveInvalidation'
- Games for Windows LIVE Disabler -> disables GfWL and moves your DLCs into your game folder
- Fallout Installation Cleaner (FOIC) -> cleans up your Fallout; removes Mods, 3rd party tools, .. etc
Mods come as package -> first you need to extract them to a temporary location by using a tool like 7zip. Examine the files / folders of the Mod you've unpacked to get a quick overview.
Example of an unzipped Mod under XP and Vista / Windows7
You'll find files with ending *.esp or *.esm and maybe additional folders like textures, meshes or sound.
After you unpacked a lot of Mods, you'll consider each result as quite unique, but generally the structure is almost the same.
Anyway, there are two common rules you should keep in mind:

After you unpacked a lot of Mods, you'll consider each result as quite unique, but generally the structure is almost the same.
Anyway, there are two common rules you should keep in mind:
- All Mods have to be placed into the Data Directory of your Game.
- The folder structure must be correct.
The Data Folder
-> The default path for DVD Versions is C: Program Files Bethesda Softworks Fallout 3 Data
You may have customised the install path to something else e.g. C: Games Fallout..
That's why in some READMEs you'll find the term '< install path > Fallout 3 Data '
-> The default path for Steam Versions is C: Program Files Steam steamapps Common Fallout 3 Data
To avoid issues under Vista and Win7, the install location of Steam can be customised, see point #V .29 Installing Fallout

The Folder Structure
Files that belong into the. This is the process to recognise certain new files which have been placed into the Data folder.-> It's recommended to use the little tool ArchiveInvalidation Invalidated.
-> Unzip, run it, activate it
The whole Archive Invalidation will be done.
Finally check your G.E.C.K. Mods (*.esp) at your Fallout Launcher or use FOMM

Mods are best installed by your own.
( Avoid extracting something directly into your Game / Data Dir )
( Avoid extracting something directly into your Game / Data Dir )
- There could be a ReadMe -> It‘s recommended to read it before you install a Mod
- Make a save game that is 'clean'. -> You could need it later - just to be sure
- If you install a Mod by your own, you‘ll know how to remove it
- Only add one Mod by one. -> Test it. -> If you install a plenty of Mods, you‘ll probably have to spend a plenty of time to figure out, why your game is crashing.
- Take care of Mod Conflicts and your Load Order. Tools like FO3Edit and the Fallout Mod Sorter (FOMS) help to increase your games stability.
- If something went terribly wrong, you'll be lucky if you backed up your Data folder
Keep your System up to date.
Perform a Windows Update including DirectX.
Clean your Windows
(CCleaner recommended) and reboot.
Install Fallout.
If you use Windows7 or Vista, it is highly recommended to install the game to another location than 'Program Files' ( for example C: Games Fallout 3 ) to avoid problems with the security feature UAC.
Alternatively you could disable UAC, but this may lead to a less secure system, so be warned. For Steam versions there is hardly a way to customise the install dir. So you may need to go for the 'disabling UAC' option - or install Steam to another location than 'Program Files'
e.g. C:GamesSteam ..

Backup your 'clean' Data folder before installing Mods.
It saves time if something went wrong - especially if you installed Fallout via Steam.
( a reinstall wont work in every case properly.
( a reinstall wont work in every case properly.
- Backup save games and your ArchiveInvalidation.txt file if you use one
- Uninstall Fallout3 in your System Control (Software / Programs) or use a helper like the Revo Uninstaller
- There are two Folders left: the Game Dir (with your Mods) & your 'My Games' folder
- -> delete or simply rename the Folders to backup
- -> be careful with backed up data and avoid using old *.ini files
- Clean Registry (CCleaner)
- Reboot your System, to get all Registry changes applied
- Go on with Point V) Installing Fallout
You can play Fallout in two different ways: off-line or on-line via GfWL.
As soon as you switch between these two modes, if you install F.O.S.E. (which disables GfWL) or if you simply move your DLC files into the Data folder, you'll consider your save games are 'gone'. This happens because Fallout uses two slightly different locations to store the game saves in.

- off-line: <Start Menu> Documents My Games Fallout3 Saves
- on-line: <Start Manu> Documents My Games Fallout3 Saves 'Your Live Name'
-> If you want to continue your game on-line or off-line, simply copy the save games into the respective location.
Sometimes you need to access hidden folders on your Hard Drive.
For example if you want to access the GfWL Folder where DLCs are stored in.
For example if you want to access the GfWL Folder where DLCs are stored in.
- XP: C: Documents and Settings 'User Account' Local Settings Application Data Microsoft Xlive
- Vista: C: Users 'User Account' AppData Local Microsoft XLive
These Folders are hidden by default so you may need to set them visible.
If you have to deal with several file extensions like *.exe, *.esp or *.bsa, you should disable Hidden file extensions too.
- Open a Window, e.g. 'Computer' ( on Win7: hit < Alt > if the menu bar wont be shown on top of the window )
- Go to Tools --> Folder Options and click the View tab.
- In the Advanced settings list, enable the point 'Show hidden files and folders'.
- Click to clear the check box 'Hide extensions for known file types'.
- Apply this setting, and click OK.
If you test a lot of mods you may want to have quick and easy access to your data folder.
Creating a Desktop Shortcut:
Creating a Desktop Shortcut:
- Go to your Fallout 3 folder ( by default C: Program Files Bethesda Softworks Fallout 3
- or on Steam versions C: Program Files Steam steamapps Common Fallout 3 )
- Right-Click on the Data folder icon
- go to 'Send to'
- click on 'Desktop (create shortcut)'
Sometimes it is recommended to use the Fake Patch and the Unofficial Fallout 3 Patch as workaround if you don't want to use the official Patches. But keep in mind that this wont work in every case properly. The latest official patch (v1.7) should be your very first choice.
Sometimes Modders get their file structures not correct.
In this case you could try to correct this by your own.
Use a tool like FO3 Archive Utility (requires Java) or FOMMs built in BSA Browser to open the *.bsa archives (e.g. Fallout - Textures.bsa) to get an idea, how the folder structure has to look like.
But do not try to change the *.bsa Archives!

Here you reached the end ;-) and hope it helped to clear some things up.
Enjoy Fallout3Nexus and don`t forget to rate and comment a tested mod. Keep in mind it is lots of hard and unpaid work.
.. happy modding folks

For all those who avoided the full sticker price of a brand new AAA game plus the pricey season pass, your patience has paid off now that Fallout 4 GOTY is here, which bundles all the F4 expansions and the high-resolution texture pack in one place. (If you wait until Black Friday, I have a sneaking suspicion you might get an even bigger discount..)
But if you waited until the Game of the Year edition arrived to jump on Bethesda's Commonwealth entry in the Fallout universe, that means you've got a full two years worth of mods to catch up on! Graphics mods, skill mods, UI mods, new quest mods, and (of course) nude mods -- there are tens of thousands available, and far more than any one person could ever even play in a single lifetime.
So to get you started off right, we're rounding up a lineup of tried and true mod stalwarts that have always been Fallout 4 staples, as well as some newer offerings that will mesh well with F4's Game Of The Year edition. Download multiple sports kodi addons at once 10.
Note that these are all free mods, and unlike Bethesda we're going to actually call them mods. As such, we won't be listing any of the paid 'not-mod' nonsense from the Creation Club (which is just paid mods by another name). Now that we've got that little tidbit out of the way, lets get onto the must-have Fallout 4 GOTY mods!
Unofficial Fallout 4 Patch
If you've got a huge, open world Bethesda game, your very first order of business should be to find and download the unofficial fan patch. Like this one, it's guaranteed to fix hundreds of bugs, both major and minor, from small issues with items and dialog to big problems with quests and markers.
Best of all? The huge number of changes are designed to be as unobtrusive as possible, so they don't ever break other mods or become irrelevant with new patches. This is essential download material for Fallout 4 Game of the Year edition. Corel draw x7 keygen xforce.
No More Creation Club News
Now that you've got the unofficial patch installed, the next order of business is to get rid of the Creation Club News marquee taking up the corner of your screen, which can be really annoying.
If you want to drop real-world money in-game on small cosmetic changes that are readily available elsewhere as free mods, well, that's your business. But for the rest of us, downloading this mod helps us reclaim the Fallout 4 experience we want to have.
Hopefully, the fact that this is consistently in the Top 10 endorsed mods list every single week sends a clear and obvious message to the developers and publishers out there.
Full Dialog Interface
OK, so we've patched all the bugs and gotten rid of the Creation Club nonsense, so now it's time to fix Bethesda's other major Fallout 4 stumble -- the condensed dialog wheel.
Half of the time the paraphrased example doesn't even really match the real dialog that's said. And there's no question the full voice acted main character really cut down on the dialog options in comparison to previous games.
While there's not much to be done about the latter, the former is handily dealt with using this mod that changes things back to the classic Fallout dialog tree, showing exactly what will be conveyed with each option. Again, this is another essential mod for the best F4 GOTY experience.
Sim Settlements
One of the elements of Fallout 4 that was most touted prior to release is also the element that is probably the most heavily modded: F4 settlements. Although changes and additions were made with the game's official add-ons, there's still plenty about settlement building and settler duty-assigning that's pretty rough around the edges.
Sim Settlements is much different from the typical settlement mod in that it drastically changes how settlements work, rather than just simply adding new objects.
The goal of the settlements mod is to make it so you are the leader of any given settlement -- and not its micro-manager. The mod brings in 'zones' that can be placed (in the manner of Sim City) that prompt your settlers to plant crops, connect water supplies, and construct buildings of a specific type.
Every settlement will end up unique using this overhaul, and a progression system is added in so that building settlements is more satisfying and less of something you have to do every so often.
Settlement Management Software
Going the opposite direction of the previous mod, this one gives you greater micromanagement powers -- and from a distance as well. Instead of having to manually walk up to any given settler, you can automatically assign them to a settlement object from a terminal.
This simple terminal program also lets you move settlers between towns, assign supply routes, and check a settlement's stats all in one clean interface. This will be a great addition to your Fallout 4 GOTY collection. Because let's face it: quality of life upgrades are always welcome.
Homemaker
While the various Steam Workshop add-ons did expand the settlement creation options, there's always room for more ways to customize your perfect post-apocalyptic settlement in Fallout 4.
That's where the Homemaker mod for F4 comes into play, adding in an astounding 1,000 additional items, from toilets to walls, appliances, and knick knacks. Don't even think about starting your own vault or settlement without downloading this mod first!
Visible Companion Affinity
This mod feels like it should have already been in a menu screen somewhere! As the name suggests, the mod tells you the current affinity level of any companion, as well as notifying you of the specific amount their affinity dropped or increased as you interact with companions or make choices that upset or excite them.
If you want your journey through Fallout 4's Wasteland to go smoother -- or you're just up for some friendly skullduggery -- this is a must-download mod.
K-9 Harness
For how often he appeared in the marketing for Fallout 4's pre-release, Dog Meat really didn't offer that much to F4 players when the game finally arrived. Let's rectify that with a customizable mod that lets you craft a new harness for your faithful hound, giving him more carrying capacity, different colored outfits, extra armor, and more!
Traits And Perks
Miss the old style of traits and perks from the previous Fallout games? This recreates them in Fallout 4 after a fashion (and adds in new additions).
While they can't be directly brought over to the new perk system with its unlimited level cap and new level S.P.E.C.I.A.L. screen without causing some major problems, this mod brought them back in a roundabout way using the crafting system.
Now you just have to craft a specific type of item that grants you the new traits/perks, and you can easily remove everything to respec your character on the fly from the ground up.
Craft Ammo
While the Contraptions Workshop DLC added an ammunition station that slowly churns out ammo at a fairly high power cost, it isn't really an economical option.
This Fallout 4 mod has been here all along, letting you do something that should have been there from Day 1: craft any standard ammo type at a chemistry station. So instead of throwing your junk away, download this mod for F4 GOTY and craft that refuse into something explosive.
Stop slogging for ammo -- seriously. It's not becoming ..
Weightless Junk
Possibly the single most helpful Fallout 4 mod in all existence, this indispensable little addition to the game makes one small, but powerful change: most of the random junk found in the Commonwealth -- from wrenches to tin cans -- just simply has no weight.
All your weight and inventory management just became incredibly easy, and there will be far less frustration in carrying around resources before you can dump them at a crafting station.
Any Mod Any Weapon
This one lets you go absolutely hog wild on weapon crafting, letting you add absolutely any modification to any weapon. Put a MIRV launcher on an automatic rifle so you can fire off dozens of nukes a round; give a scope to your rocket launcher; or add any other ludicrously awesome combination you can come up with!
Needless to say, this Fallout 4 mod pretty much breaks balance and lets you make weapons the developer most certainly did not intend. Note: To use this mod, you need the Armor And Weapons Keyword Community Resource installed first.
Fallout 3 Goty Mods Not Working
True Storms
There's a reason this is one of the most-downloaded Fallout 4 mods of all time -- and you should find out why by downloading it yourself at your earliest convenience!
Totally overhauling the weather systems in Fallout 4, the True Storms mod brings in new sound effects, textures, particle effects, and much more for a complete change to how rain and storms work.
This is more than just adding dreary rain to the game, however, as it also brings customizable radiation storms and ghoul attacks to F4 GOTY!
Welcome To Goodneighbor
Between the base game and the Automatron/Nuka World/Far Harbor expansions, there's already a staggering number of quests to undertake in Fallout 4. But frankly, there's always room for more in the Commonwealth!
Nexus Fallout 3 Mods
As the name implies, this mod adds several new quests, assassination missions, buildings, enemies, items, and more to the Goodneighbor settlement. There's also somewhere in the neighborhood of 500+ lines of dialog added, greatly extending out your Fallout 4 experience.
Fusion City Rising
Another quest/area mod, this one offers up three new companions, a whole new city, extra factions, a ludicrous nightclub, an entirely new vault, and nuclear explosions galore!
It's a top-notch combination of over-the-top action and legitimately fun quest lines that go in directions you might not expect. If you want to try out the various new questlines made by modders but aren't sure where to start, there are far worse places to begin than Fusion City Rising.
