ok thanks for the help all . but i could of sworn when checking the mods it said you needed some program named "invalid invalidated" or something like that and the " fomm " and there was one for " merging different mods together " and last the actuall mod itself?
Archive invalidation is one of things that FOMM does so that's all you'll need for that sort of thing. No extra program is needed. Plus it's only needed if you're replacing any of the default textures in the game, which most mods don't do. Certainly not one that does what you want here. And the one that merges mods together isn't necessary at all unless you're running into some conflicts or have a few too many mods loaded. It's a tool that's available to improve the modding experience but it's certainly not a requirement. No programs are for the most part, you can simply stick the files in your Data folder then use the ingame menu to activate them. That's not an ideal way of doing things however, so getting a few tools to work with will improve your situation. The only thing that is a requirement for certain mods is FOSE, Fallout Script Extender. It adds new script functions that allows some mods to do something that normally wouldn't be possible. But not all mods use those extra functions and so don't require FOSE. In fact most don't, though the ones that do tend to be the best ones out there. You're really selling yourself short by being paranoid about using mods. If you were to spend a little bit of time with them, you'd realize that it's not as difficult as you think it is, and you would be able to greatly expand on your game.
