I just downloaded Fallout 3, and changed a few things to run properly on W10. I'm kind of new to the PC thing and I know that's already a well discussed topic. I played through the intro until I exited the vault and the game ran perfect! Anyway, I just downloaded and installed FOSE. After downloading, I can't even get to the main menu screen to load my save before the game crashes. I'm 90% certain I installed it properly. The only thing I can think of that I made a mistake with was instead of right click/ foseloader.exe/ desktop shortcut, I did right click/ foseloader.exe/ create shortcut. I'm not really sure if that would affect anything or not? I went back and created the shortcut the right way but I can't see how that would have harmed any of the essential files. Should I uninstall, and reinstall the game, then try to setup FOSE again?

I'm Curious what are you using FOSE for, it's an application for Modders, and from the sound of it, you are just playing vanilla. If i were you, I would just delete the files you put in the fallout 3 gog directory, and play without it. I wouldn't go about unistalling the whole game, it isn't nessecary. Hope this was helpful.

Edit: Also did you install the beta fose on silverlock.org or did you install the stable build, it might be crashing if you are using the beta build.

I was gonna do a MOSTLY vanilla playthrough but I wanted to try downloading a few weapons packs and a few graphics mods. I just did 3 playthroughs of NV and experimented with a few mods. I definitely didn't have near as much trouble with it as I am with F3. I'm not entirely sure which version I downloaded. I've been following Gopher's modding videos. None of the information or links he's shared have ever steered me wrong but who knows, could've been an outdated version. Thanks for the reply!
