Where should I save Fallout 3 to avoid UAC.

Post » Sat Feb 19, 2011 7:28 am

My computer had some serious problem a while back and I lost everything, I just now decided to re-install Fallout 3 I had mods before I lost it all but, sadly, it was long ago I don't remember where I had to save Fallout 3 to avoid Windows 7 UAC that stop you from using mods, where should I save it to?

Anywhere but Program Files, I personally just installed it in C:/Fallout3 and never had any problems with UAC.

It wouldn't be a bad idea to create a C:/Games folder where you install all of your games. Fallout isn't the only one that has issues with mods and the UAC. Better yet, have a completely different partition just for your OS and maybe your hardware files, then install everything else on the other one. That way if your OS gets wiped out for some reason, you won't lose all the rest of your stuff.
