When you load your mod, check the broken steel ESM as well.

To mod DLC, you have to move it from the xlive folder to your games data folder.

Its in a HIDDEN folder. Difficult to find unless you understand how to find hidden folders.

C:\Users\YourUserID\AppData\Local\Microsoft\XLive\DLC

Just copy both the BSA, TXT and ESM to fallout3\data\ folder.
Copy the BIK files to your fallout3\data\video\ folder.

:shrug: Usually means the textures for the objects cannot be found. They have to be in the correct location, the BSA files.

Just copy both the BSA, TXT and ESM to \fallout3\data\ folder.

See post #8 above.
\fallout3\data\BrokenSteel - Main.bsa

It could be a totally different issue too. I only had that problem with a custom texture that was not created correctly. It worked in game but not in the GECK.

You could provide a screenshot so we know what you are talking about.

Also, in your GeckCustom.ini, set bAllowMultipleMasterLoads= to 1.

Working in World Spaces (Ar1z/Advanced) http://www.fallout3nexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=3541

Haven't checked out this one yet as I haven't had any ideas for a new worldspace. You may want to give it a look (tutorials are good for you)

NVM, found it, had to get the 1.5 update lol

That's a rather ambitious undertaking for a first-time modder. Try to take it slow, and not rush it. Do the basic tutorials on the GECK wiki and get a feel for how it works before plunging into advanced stuff like worldspaces and such.

Just copy both the BSA, TXT and ESM to fallout3\data\ folder.
Copy the BIK files to your fallout3\data\video\ folder.

this is pretty old, but im trying to do jusst that and when i copy the .bik files, it says, theres duplicate "2weeks later" biks. should i rename it as 2 weeks later 1? or just not copy it in?

edit- same with B09.bik
