So I just downloaded FOOK2 and so far everything added by FOOK2 is a red exclamation mark although I've been using mods for quite some time now I still have no idea how to fix this can somebody please walk me through the fixing process?

If I am correct, these are the files you need:
FOOK2 Setup v 1.0 exe
FOOK2 v1.1 Beta 2 Files <---This is probably what you are missing.
FOOK2 v1.1 Beta 2 Plugins
FOOK2 v1.1 Beta 2 Cumulative Hotfix Plugins (9-06)
FOOK2 Cumulative Hotfix Data (9-10)

I downloaded them let them over right mt other FOOK files and activated them but they didn't go into my load order and it had no effect on the red exclamation marks. :shrug:

Anybody have any idea of what's going on? :cryvaultboy:

may want to try a clean install of fallout.

Red exclamation marks mean that the game can't find the mesh for the object it is supposed to display. You must've installed the custom meshes that come for weapons/armor in the mod wrong, or you've missed a separate download that includes these meshes.

I don't use FOOK so I don't know how they've packaged it.
