Sometimes mods conflict with each other and cause crashes, sometimes due to the load order or just because they do not work with each other. Sometimes its because the mod dose not work with your mod manager

I know a lot of people say use FOOK2, however I have found Fallout Mod Manager to be very usefull and a good number of mods out there are made for it.

Bunker 72 Housing Mod, a very cool housing mod http://www.fallout3nexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=7455

Fallout 3 Re-Animated, changes and improves how you carry and use your weapon http://www.fallout3nexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=7670

I would suggest playing threw with the current set of weapons before getting weapon mods because many of them really dull the game out. What challenge is there when you can fire one shot from a pistol and drop a behemoth after hitting its leg?

Also keep an eye out for mods made by Crowbennett08 on Fallout 3 Nexus, they seem to be the better ones from my personal experiance, and a few other mod makers have given him shout outs for helping them in some way.

Mart's Mutant Mod.

Unofficial Fallout 3 Patch

2 questions:

Where do i get the M4?

How do i get the basemant from Megaton house and theme overhaul?

Go to the terminal, and select lockdown. You'll see the Nuka Cola poster slide up and reveal the weapons.

:) :bowdown: :bowdown: you've helped me a lot. Thank you

another quick question:

when should i stop the main quest and finish all of the side quests, than continue?

Since you do have Broken Steel(right?), just finish that first, if you can. It will make everything smooth. It wouldn't make much sense to just leave all the events happening, and come back a month later.

don't have broken steel yet, i am probably gonna get the GOTY edition for Christmas and if i buy broken steel now it would probably be a waste of money.

Oh, okay then. What I do is stop after The American Dream, aka, don't go turn in the quest. Once you do have Broken Steel, or want to finish the main quest(make sure to make a new save!), then you can go turn in the quest and start Take It Back!, which leads you right up to the ending of the vanilla main quest, and the beginning of the Broken Steel quest.

I decided i am looking for some more mods:

List all the ones you want EXCLUDING these:

Dragonskin Tactical Outfit
Megaton House and Theme Overhaul
Owned
Fallout3 reanimated
Underground Hideout
Weapon Mod Kits
FOSE

Animated Night vision goggles
Bullet Time
Sprint Mod
Zooming scoped weapons(one of the earlier ones, I don't like the new ones)

This.

And...

Unofficial Fallout 3 Patch
Ultimate Perk Pack (A VERY wide selection of good and fun perks here)
Existence 2.0 (Radio/Quest mod. An extremely good one)
Hot Box (Making those Ice Cold Nuka Colas temperate again if you want to use the Quantum Chemist perk)
Ammo Sploders (Ammo explodes if you shoot at it or if it's caught in a blast. Mini Nuke Mines FTW (You drop a Mini Nuke and a mine at the same spot to "make" that)

Edit:

Mods:
Something that makes it easier to move objects

OK, NVM:

Who is the best follower? I like charon, but i've heard fawkes is really good as well.

Depends on your playstyle. Do you want someone to sneak along (Charon) or someone who charges in like a bus killing everything in sight (Fawkes)?

usually i just head straight into battle with my M4 or pistol. Not sure which one i would fall in, because i usually weaken their forces with my sniper.

If you haven't changed your game with MMM or FOOK2, then Charon would be a good choice. Fawkes will lay waste to everything before you can get a shot in. He's great help if you've modded in hordes of enemies but can be a bit overkill for the regular game.

Mod related question:

All Phalanx Modules:

Installation...... um, huh, what... HOW?

I think it might be the same thing i had to do with FOSE, but i'm not sure. Describe how for a Vista if you can please, Thanks

Might be best to ask about installing Phalanx in its thread http://www.gamesas.com/bgsforums/index.php?showtopic=1057904&st=160&start=160. Someone there should know how to help.

Help me.... i just bought folders for everything. Walkthroughs, Weapons & Ammo, Armor & Clothing.... MISC! i plan to write down the codes for everything in them. (thats not the problem)

The problem here is: I think i am becoming a stupid Mega-Nerd :bolt: :ahhh: :blink: :wacko: :confused:

Hey, at least you're organized! I scribble stuff down on a notepad and hope I can find it if I ever need it. I usually just look up codes and commands at http://fallout.wikia.com as I need them.

Nothing is wrong with being a nerd. Nerds rule!

I write down all console commands I need on a piece of paper, and then lose that piece of paper...

Thanks Now quick question again (last one for a few hours, promise )

Edit:

Would you recommend adding named and rare items onto my supply list?

Any other good mods out there? Preferably ones that don't embed themselves into FOMM without me knowing it.

My list is finally completed.

Now i am gonna go mod hunting, wish me luck.
