Broken Steel and Point Lookout do not load properly

Hi guys.

I seem to be doing everything according to the manual provided with the Addon-Pack, but the mods still don't work.

I've got the Lunch Box edition of F3 which allows me to install it either in Polish or English [GB] (i chose the latter).
Bare F3 works fine, I've finished it without problems. Before installing the mods I've installed the 1.6 patch (for the GB English version), then I've installed BS and PL and checked them in the data files menu.
When I enter 'data files' again the mods are unchecked but I've been told that it's normal, although I still would like someone to confirm this (I checked them again just in case).

When I start a new game (unfortunately I don't have my old saves anymore) after I leave Vault 101 I get a single message that my level cap has been raised to 30. No messages that BS and PL have been loaded.
There are no docks near Rivet City nor anything that would suggests that PL is loaded (supposedly the mod adds a radio station or some kind of transmission?).
When leveling up I can see perks for levels >20, but they have a "PipOs Error 26" instead of their proper images. Also in one of the houses in Springvale and near the console in Jefferson Memorial rotunda there is a Red Square Exclamation Mark.
So, this leads me to believe that BS doesn't work as well and that the only thing that has changed is the level cap.

I know that this isn't 100% proof but I don't want to waste any more time on the game just to find out that it crashes after reaching lvl 21 or that there is only the standard F3 ending. Is it possible to skip somehow to the very ending to check if BS works correctly (or rather, to verify that it doesn't :-b )? A console command that would begin the final quest or something?

Any help on making the mods work would be appreciated.

Hey man.


I seem to have the same problem as you do. I have the GOTY edition, brand new, bought it from Walmart, and after setting up the mods I've seen Red Exclamation Point Boxes in Springavle and also on the creatures that I have gone up against: Enclave Hellfire Troopers, Feral Ghouls, etc.

Also some creatures are invisible and i cant go into V.A.T.S to kill them since it says i have a 0% chance of hitting them.

And whenever I try to finish the final quest before broken steel I both see the exclamation point and whenever i reload and re-enter the spot where Col. Autumn is, the girl isn't there with me or my super mutant companion. I don't get whats going on either.

And just to say My computer is running on windows 7 and has a nVidia Geoforce 8800 graphic card.

P.S. I'm sorry this doesnt answer your problem but I just wanted to say that your not alone.
