I need some help with my load order. The game runs ok, crashing a bit often and laggy but my biggest problem is I'm wearing armor and the texture starts randomizing whenever I move around. I followed the "overhaul load order detailed readme" but still had problems playing the game. I was getting messages like Project Beauty can not be found, which when downloading it said it was renamed Fallout Redesigned so maybe that's why. I had to disable a bunch of the items on that Overhaul Load Order list just to get the game to start up, otherwise it crashed on startup. Can you take a look at my load order and let me know why you think the Combat Armor I'm wearing is randomizing? I also tried looking for the file like you said but I don't see the specific one.

Hey spineraker, I'm not sure exactly why your menu text would not be loading, however, I had massive crashing and graphical problems until I made a merger patch using FO3edit. You do not seem to have said patch. Download FO3 edit from nexus and head over to the fook2 forums with instuctions on how to make a merger. Trust me it worked wonders for me. How this helps! good luck!!!
Wow...this is really annoying. Okay, so I've followed all directions that I can come across, but my patience is now getting thinned. Maybe some fresh eyes and side assistance can get this turkey off the ground again.
When I try to load through FOMM, my menu doesn't load during bootup. Everything seems to be in the right space as far as I can tell, but I have a feeling I'm still missing something! If I disable all of the plugins except for the core XPs, it loads fine. When I re-enable the loadout, though, it returns to not loading the menu and just going through the credits then dumping me at an empty menu screen. At first it seemed like Darnified was malfunctioning, but it doesn't seem to be the case as far as I can tell. Help?
EDIT: I had huge problems with CTD using load order I found here. I just downloaded one more mod and upgraded FOMM to latest version. Now I can actually start the game. Will try testing it.[EDIT2: TESTED - crash after ~1 minute after leaving the vault 101] Still I am not sure If it is the correct load order and/if I can enable so of the other mods... ATM I have lots of them disabled. It is very confusing to me. Here it is:
Edit2: Seems stable, but sometimes I see white exclamation points with red background, but I don't know wchich textures I'm missing. I know I miss brown eye texture (I see all pink eye), but I don't know where It came from too... I also have some additional haircuts that work, many that don't work (exclamation mark again) and of course the basic ones work.
I also have CTD problems with my game. I sticked completely with your mod manual which comes with the FWE-FOOK-Merger but still got problems.
I also get some <Error: Could not be resolved> messages if I try to create a merged patch. I used the sort masters option too (though I don't know what it does). I also use fo3editmasterupdate but still get a CTD on game startup ">
I have archive invalidated installed (in the FO3 folder) and binvalidateolderfiles set to 1. I toggled the invalidation option of fomm every time I installed a new mod, too. I used the included package manager of fomm to install all of the mods despite Project Beauty HD which I installed manually (following the Installation Manual) and let FOOK2 1.0.exe install itself.
I read all pages of this thread and optimized my load order like you suggested (deleted redundant esp's, changed load order and so on), but still no luck... ">
Funny: Desperate as I am I tried without the merged patch and: WHAT?!?! Game/save game loads!! Sure, get some CTDs when changing from inside to outside and on fast travel...
Well, I would really appreciate your help! "> I spent two weeks now to get the game running ">
PS: Added some misc mods but without them (almost a copy of your Overhaul Load order detailed readme.txt) it was the same result....
PPS: Using XP on an Intel Core2Duo E6600 2GB and GF9800GT Here's my load order:
I've finally made up my mind to play Fallout 3 again after getting slightly bored playing the vanilla release last year (I'd barely scratched the surface of the game). Now I've discovered the mod community!
So I've read all the info on mods and how to install them, but I want to make sure I'm doing it right. Here's what I've done so far:
1. Install 1.5 patch 2. Install all official expansions 3. Install FOSE 4. Unpack FO3Edit 5. Duplicate and rename FO3Edit.exe to FO3MasterRestore.exe 6. Activate ArchiveInvalidation Invalidated!
Now, I've read your detailed load order guide, but it's a little complicated for a first time mod-user, so I'd like to be totally sure and ask on the forums directly!
Here's a list of recommended mods and mods that sound good to me:
Fellout Weather Mod - Greener Grass Megaton Lighting Overhaul Fallout Street Lights Wasteland Street Lights 10 inch Desert Eagle ZL-ACR (Adds Customisable ACR) Quantum Convergence Mod V3 Pipboy Readius RH Iron Sights Warhammer 40k Space Marine Armor
So now I'm slightly hesitant to start because it seems as though it's a very convoluted process in which so much can go wrong! There's also the matter of custom setups in the bigger mods, which have too many variations (e.g. MMM, XFO)!

Edit2: Seems stable, but sometimes I see white exclamation points with red background, but I don't know wchich textures I'm missing. I know I miss brown eye texture (I see all pink eye), but I don't know where It came from too... I also have some additional haircuts that work, many that don't work (exclamation mark again) and of course the basic ones work.
I also have CTD problems with my game.
I sticked completely with your mod manual which comes with the FWE-FOOK-Merger but still got problems.
I also get some <Error: Could not be resolved> messages if I try to create a merged patch. I used the sort masters option too (though I don't know what it does). I also use fo3editmasterupdate but still get a CTD on game startup
I have archive invalidated installed (in the FO3 folder) and binvalidateolderfiles set to 1. I toggled the invalidation option of fomm every time I installed a new mod, too. I used the included package manager of fomm to install all of the mods despite Project Beauty HD which I installed manually (following the Installation Manual) and let FOOK2 1.0.exe install itself.
I read all pages of this thread and optimized my load order like you suggested (deleted redundant esp's, changed load order and so on), but still no luck...
Funny: Desperate as I am I tried without the merged patch and: WHAT?!?! Game/save game loads!! Sure, get some CTDs when changing from inside to outside and on fast travel...
Well, I would really appreciate your help!
PS: Added some misc mods but without them (almost a copy of your Overhaul Load order detailed readme.txt) it was the same result....

I've finally made up my mind to play Fallout 3 again after getting slightly bored playing the vanilla release last year (I'd barely scratched the surface of the game). Now I've discovered the mod community!
So I've read all the info on mods and how to install them, but I want to make sure I'm doing it right. Here's what I've done so far:
1. Install 1.5 patch
2. Install all official expansions
3. Install FOSE
4. Unpack FO3Edit
5. Duplicate and rename FO3Edit.exe to FO3MasterRestore.exe
6. Activate ArchiveInvalidation Invalidated!
Now, I've read your detailed load order guide, but it's a little complicated for a first time mod-user, so I'd like to be totally sure and ask on the forums directly!
Here's a list of recommended mods and mods that sound good to me:
Recommended
FOOK2 (Fallout Overhaul Kit)
FWE (Fallout Wanderers Edition)
WMK (Weapon Mod Kits)
XFO (Fallout 3 Balance Overhaul)
MMM (Mart's Mutant Mod)
EVE (Energy Visuals Enhancement)
CFW (Classic Fallout Weapons)
CALIBR + CRAFT
Other
Fellout Weather Mod - Greener Grass
Megaton Lighting Overhaul
Fallout Street Lights
Wasteland Street Lights
10 inch Desert Eagle
ZL-ACR (Adds Customisable ACR)
Quantum Convergence Mod V3
Pipboy Readius
RH Iron Sights
Warhammer 40k Space Marine Armor
So now I'm slightly hesitant to start because it seems as though it's a very convoluted process in which so much can go wrong! There's also the matter of custom setups in the bigger mods, which have too many variations (e.g. MMM, XFO)!
Please help
