Can't properly activate FOMOD

[nerjaro]

what process did you go through to get it to work? what files did you package and how did you install them?

[thermador]

Here's how to install a mod with FOMM:

• 
  Open FOMM from your desktop shortcut or start menu or the directory you installed it to.


• 
  Click Package manager and wait for it to open.


• 
  Use the Add FOMod button to open new window which you can use to browse for compressed archives including .fomod, .rar, .zip and .7z.  You can also click the arrow on this button and change it to "create from folder" to build a .fomod from a folder of loose files and sub-folders.


• 
  Go to the mods directory or the directory where the archive is saved and double click the mod archive file which contains your chosen mod.


• 
  FOMM should now be loading the files, once this is done select the mod from your list on the package manager and click activate.


• 
  Tick the mod .esp file on your load order.

And use this release of [url=http://www.nexusmods.com/newvegas/mods/54991/?]FOMM[/url]  It was listed in the links provided in the thread but I'll save you some reading time.

[nerjaro]

thank you. it worked.

read the thread again, TJ and Therm tell you how to do this, and it doesn't involve building a fomod.

I used the FOMM you suggested and it still won't unpack and activated the FOMOD.  And yes, I installed it as an administrator.  One problem with you instructions and advice is you present them as if we are all experts at modding and making mods, which we aren't.  Simpler would be better.

Try following the instructions for a manual install. You can find them here:

If you have any problem following them please post again and I will try to help next time I come around.

(I have computer problems so I can only come by once or twice per day).
