Hi,

I decided to do a completely fresh installation of Fallout 3, as I had just too many conflicting mods, etc.

However, for some reason, Fallout Mod Manager (the latest version) will not install Fallout Wanderers Edition (latest edition) - which of course is the most important mod of them all (indeed, I cannot imagine playing without it). FOMM says "oops" etc and that "extension 'fomod' is not a supported archive file name extension'" and that is that - no matter whether I select 'create from folder', 'add FMOD' or whatevr. Well, it's never done that before! Any idea why? I am using the GOTY version of Fallout and, yes, I have FSOE installed as well. No other mods are currently installed apart from CASM and DarNified UI.

Any help would be most appreciated :celebration:

Cheers,
DANNY

Can you check the file sizes on the two FWE downloads?

FWE_Master_Release_6-0_-_Part_1-2761.7z 190,056,201 bytes
FWE_Master_Release_6-0_-_PART_2-2761.7z 166,758,863 bytes

and on the two FOMOD files?

FWE_Master_Release_6-0_-_Part_1.fomod 254,903,604 bytes
FWE_Master_Release_6-0_-_PART_2.fomod 203,877,964 bytes

Possibly, your files are corrupted.

Well, here goes (after unzipping):

FWE Master Release #1 - 575 mb
FWE Master Release #2 - 306 mb

FWE Master Release #1 FOMOD Folder - 62.5 kb
FWE Master Release #2 FOMOD folder - 24.1 kb

I've downloaded FWE twice from Nexus, but with the same result each time. Any clues?

Regards,
DANNY

p.s. by the way, the same is now happening with Weapon Mod Kits - which I downloaded today from Nexus, as my previous version was out of date. Ie, FOMM says "extension fomod is not recognised', etc.

You don't need to unzip the downloads. Just choose "Add FOMOD" and point to the downloaded file. FOMM takes care of the packaging of the mod.

Try doing that first. It sounds like you're trying to make a FOMOD yourself and then point to it when using the "Add FOMOD" option.
