Where to put Fallout 3 mods?

Post by Hopz7 » Sun Aug 04, 2013 8:24 pm

Hello everyone. I'm new to the forum and pretty new to modding in general. I've looked around but I havent been able to find an answer. I'm sure its obvious, but I still thought I should ask. When I download texture packs or mods for Fallout 3, do I put them in the Fallout 3 folder or the New Vegas folder? I'm assuming it would be the New Vegas folder since otherwise i'm not sure how to get the plugins to show up in NMM.


Also, if the NV folder is the correct destination, I would probably need to do the manual download for each mod since clicking the "download with manager" button tries to put them in the Fallout 3 folder rather than the NV folder. Is that correct?


Sorry if this is a stupid question, I just thought I would ask before I mess it up too much and have to reinstall everything. I'm really looking forward to playing the TTW mod. Ive played through most of New Vegas but have never played FO3 before. This will be like the ultimate experience. Thanks for all your hard work! This mod is the only reason why I bought FO3 on the steam sale along with NV.

You put everything into the FNV Data folder although FO3 mods that require .esp's or .esm will need to be converted to work with TTW. You can find a PDF guide and the FNVedit conversion scrips here.


If you need more help feel free to ask you'll find that people here are more then willing to lend a hand.
