Nothing in the Cell View to duplicate

Post » Tue May 17, 2011 10:21 am

I think my copy of the GECK program is broke. I downloaded it, updated it and followed the setup tutorial. But when I create a new cell there is nothing in the Cell View to select for duplicating. The program is installed in the Fallout 3 directory as it should be. It even has the 1.5 English update installed. I just don't get it. Any suggestions?

Do you have Fallout.esm open in the GECK?

Make sure you do. If you do not load anything, then there is no content. Only about 20 various items and things that are hardcoded as part of the geck. The tutorial should instruct you on how to load Fallout.esm and once you do there are all sorts of cells in the Cell View tab you can copy.

Your right. It never occurred to me to actually open the file up every time I fire up the GECK. Thanks, I'm a noob. I can admit it. :celebration:

Next question: I tested the lay out once I got it all together. Is it normal for me to run in place while inside vault 74?
