As the title says, I think everything went fine with creating the Fomod and installing it, but it doesn't start me in Vault 101. The Fallout 3 intro does play after the Fallout: New Vegas intro though.

I tried installing the fomods that were created using Nexus Mod Manager, and while it did hang up on me, I was able to try it again and it *claimed* everything installed and activated properly. As far as I could tell, only the optional files were really activated.
I tried also using Fallout Mod Manager to set the load order for the fomods according to the alpha download page (I won't bother to list the order here) and only got the same result as the NMM.
That said, I've never used either program before, so I could just be missing something really dumb.
If I had to guess, I would say the Fomod ToTW main was bad, but I thought I would bring it to the experts here before trying to generate a new one (that took a really long time.)
Oh, and I have the Fallout 3 GoTY version on steam, while I just have the regular New Vegas + ALL dlc (not the ultimate or whatever the combo pack is called). I really don't want to do a manual install, so if you say my specs don't meet the requirements to use a mod manager for some odd reason then I guess I'm playing Fallout 3 the old fashioned way.
But I do want to say, even if this won't work for me, I do appreciate the modders out there who go out of their way to do things like this. The whole time I was playing New Vegas (originally 360 version) I was wishing I could have taken advantage of the NV options in 3. Thanks for what you do.
