In the Fallout New Vegas setup window you will have two options, one is the location of the mod directory and the other is for the Install info. I will use Fallout New Vegas as an example. Select the game to manage in the game selection window. Select FOMM from the drop down to select it and press the Run button to start FOMM. Next you want to run FOMM for the first time. In that window click the Add button and then click OK.
This will bring you back to the modify executables dialog. In that directory click on fomm.exe and click open / OK. Next click the button with the three dots in the “Binary†section and navigate to where you installed FOMM. In the “Modify Dialog†window, give the executable a name by clicking in the title box. Select the “Edit option to open the “Modify Executables†dialog. These issues can be mitigated by using Fallout Mod Manager, FOMM, as an executable from inside of MO.ĭownload the FOMM installer from its page on the New Vegas Nexus and follow the instructions in the install wizard.Īfter it is installed in Windows, start MO and add it to the executables from the “Pick a program to run†drop down to the left of the Run button. Some reasons are that the mods are not packaged properly and some have poorly written scripts which will terminate abruptly. The second caveat is a lot of the mods for Fallout use the fomod format for install and will not install under MO.
The first caveat is that MO has mod isolation and mods that need to see other mods that are installed will not see them. Yes you can use MO to manage mods in the fallout series of games. I hope this post will shed some light on this subject. There are a lot of questions about MO with the fallout series of games and the use of Fallout Mod Manager with MO.
