For mod users the main advantage of the Package Manager is ease of install and uninstall. This is not as easy as it sounds. Some mods override the in-game textures and meshes these are often called replacers. The only way to uninstall these mods is to delete every single file they added. Other mods need to change Fallout3. With the Package Manager, these mods can be installed and uninstalled with a mouse click.
This allow you to keep a mean and clean data folder, with a much more efficient and stable game as a result. For mod authors there are a number of advantages. Making sure that your mod is ready to be used with FOMM will help users install the mod correctly.
This is a particular advantage when it comes to testing your mod, as it is easy to make a clean install and check each of the settings. A fomod file can be seen as an installer that can be used directly by FOMMs Package Manager, and can be recognized by the file extension.
When you download a fomod, it will usually be in a compressed format, such as rar, zip or 7z. Open the archive by double clicking it. If it contains a. If it comes with a readme, please open and read the readme before continuing as it may contain important information. Highlight the mod and press Activate and follow any directions:. Where fomod files comes in. These mods can be recognized by them having a fomod folder inside, as shown below:.
Many modders have the name of their mod at the root of the archive, and you may have to open this folder to find the fomod-folder. You should read the readme for instructions before proceeding. If the file is fomod ready, press the Add new button:. In the dialogue, browse to the archive and double click it. The mod can be activated by pressing the Activate button as above. This is somewhat more challenging, but you would have to go through these steps to install a generic mod anyway.
The first step is to open the archive, find and inspect the readme. Particularly, you need to review the install and uninstall sections.
These will tell you how to perform a manual installation, and which files to use, depending on your preferences. If there are any options, I recommend that you extract the mod to a temporary location such as a new folder on your desktop , and adjust the contents of the mod to your liking. After making your adjustments, you may want to re-zip the file. In this case, proceed as when adding a fomod ready mod.
Open the Package Manager and press deactivate:. After installing a new mod, you may need to adjust your load order. Many mods have comments on where they should be placed in the load order. This warning comes when plugin files are placed in subdirectories. Usually this happens when modders place optional esps in subdirectories.
In this case you should extract the mod to a temporary location and read the readme. After reviewing your options, adjust the contents of the mod to your liking and try again. If the file already exists, it means that the mod you are installing is overwriting a file from another mod.
This error happens when you have installed Fallout 3 to the default location, and FOMM does not run with Administrator privileges. There are a number of fixes. It will save you a lot of trouble in the future. A more in depth description of the problem can be found here. The next tutorial will investigate the FOMOD file format in depth, and it will be demonstrated how to customize it for your mod. You can follow any responses to this entry through the RSS 2.

Then you need to wait while FOMM inspects and installs the mod. I have the mod I want in the package manager, but how do I actually get it to go into the game?
If the mod will not install because of a scripting error or being improperly formatted, then use FOMM. You will have to delete the files afterwards. Some additional thoughts to keep in mind.
Install all mods in MO when you can. This will give you the most flexible option for mod conflicts in the left pane. Remember the vanilla data folder is overwritten by the MO virtual data folder and the overwrite folder always overwrites both of them.
These mods will be written to the overwrite folder in one big mod, which will allow Unified HUD to see the Hud menu xml files. There is a growing debate as to leaving files in the overwrite folder or not. In this case I would leave them there.
If I remember correctly FOMM throws a fit if they are moved out of the overwrite folder the next time it is run after the files are moved. This will prevent you from deactivating or removing any mods from the package manager. You have to either move them all back or hunt down the configuration flies and delete them to start all over.
If the nexus would just allow bit NMM to be installed it wouldn't be such a pain. Curious how FOMM can throw a fit. If you move things back in the exposed VFS they should still be on the same place. I've always had a few issues with red exclamations and using the esp-less version of WFO.
The program will not see the VFS and only generates a list from the actual data folder. I tried submitting a ticket for it and I couldn't get the site to work, so not sure how to get it to work, but I like the idea of using a txt file generator so nothing is missed.
I coudn't get it to work in the first place either. I clicked on 'login' and selected google. Now bug genie asked me to login with my gmail account. Afterwards you see your bug genie profile information. Now go to the top left corner and 'the bug genie'. Now I was in the bug genie AND could create ticket. Follow the instructions in the installation wizard. Start FOMM. Select Fallout 3.
