Can I installed Mart's Mutant mod half way through playing the game with only FWE installed? Or will there be clashes?

About to start my first FWE playthrough and I would like some opinions on how FWE changes Broken Steel.

It's been about a year since I've played but I remember being less than impressed with this particular DLC:

-Bad perks (I'm looking at you "Almost Perfect")
-Terrible skill point economy (max every stat - drove me nuts)
-Badly implemented new enemies ("harder" and "has 8x more hit points and takes 5 minutes to kill" are not the same thing)
-Unbalanced weapons

Looking through I saw the settings for leveling speed and skill point allocation could be modified in the FWE control panel. So I assume FWE addresses the problems of overabundant skill points and unbalanced weaponry, but what about the perks and the higher level enemies?

Those of you playing FWE with Broken Steel enabled - do you stick with the FWE defaults or go with the "moderate leveling" and "balanced for level 30" skill point allocation?

I think it is possible, but don't forget about proper upgrade procedure.
Most problems with MMM occur only during update from previous versions

I installed MMM after several level ups with FWE without any issues. I can't see it being too different for someone further into the game.

9. How do I create a Merged Patch?


A:

1. Set up your mods and your load order in FOMM, then close FOMM

2. Download FO3edit if you haven't done so already.

3. Extract the two files from the archive into your Fallout 3 folder (where the Fallout3.exe is also located)

4. Start the FO3Edit.exe, you will see a list appear with all your mods in it, just click ok.

5. It will take a little while until all your mods are loaded. If all mods load succesfully, you will see at the bottom of the message tab "Background Loader: finished". If you instead get an error message, then you are missing a master!

6. Assuming everything loaded correctly, all you need to do is right click anywhere on the left panel and select 'Create Merged Patch' from the context menu.

7. A window appears asking for a filename. Enter anything you like, for example "My Merged Patch". Hit OK. At the bottom of all your mods you should see a new bold mod named 'My Merged Patch.esp'

8. Now close FO3Edit and you will be asked to 'Save changed files:'. Simply hit OK.

9. Now open Fallout Mod Manager and look for your 'My Merged Patch.esp'. Make sure it's activated and loaded at the very bottom of your load order


IMPORTANT: Every time you add or remove a mod, you should delete your old merged patch and create a new one, following the steps above!

I installed the latest FWE Master Version 5.0, so I guess I shouldn't install these like it says? I'm asking since in the control panel I never came across these options I think.

Hello,
My character then became over-encumbered.
So I moved all of my character's items into a container (Megaton desk).
With absolutely no items in inventory, my character shows 239 weight being carried.
I probably did something wrong but I think I followed the install directions and looked at the FAQ and did a quick review of this thread, and can't find anything.
I was using Kai's no weight ammo mod, and set ammo for no weight in the new control panel. When I take ammo from the container I get no weight increase. But again, with nothing (not even ammo or drugs) in inventory I have 239 weight.
Can I correct this? Thank you.

It'd be nice if they were all configurable and all listed in the Hotkey config section.

Is there not some central list of EVERY hotkey used in this mod and its default?

And is the PN numpad enter-key configurable to something else?

One thing I feel could be more configurable with FWE's skill points at level up is the free intelligence perk. When playing a character of high intelligence it is impossible to achieve only 5 points to allocate at levelup and when leaving the vault I ended up with 19 skill points which makes starting out far too easy.

There were a couple of strange things on my last playthrough. I had to remove Wanda because for some reason there was a strange area affect sound at its location which disappeared when I made a patch to remove the weapon, the sound effects of the gauss pistol which I've already mentioned and I've had to remove them off the leveled list. There were also a lot of good things I noticed though like the new armours and the melee supermutants, they're fun and dangerous to fight.

Once you try it, playing FO3 without it it's unthinkable. Too bad people usually play in "walk in the park" mode, because it's one helluva lot more fun if the wasteland really presents you with all kinds of challenges.
