A little help with NMC's texture pack mod.

[S0ul]

I've played Fallout 3 before and just recently have decided to return to it. But I wanted to advance the gaming experience, so I looked up the top 10 mods for Fallout 3. NMC was listed and I tried getting it. After re-installing Fallout 3
and getting all the mods I wanted I tried going through the list 1 by 1, starting the game up to make sure it was running.

I started out with NMC texture pack, and while FOSE seems to not work all the time, I can garanteed that it wont work while NMC's texture pack is active. The screen will go blank and I'll hear the audio, but nothing more- sometimes i'll see the "Please stand by" clip but it does not progress at all.

What should I do? I only am trying to get NMC's texture listed at the current time being before I move onto another list.

For some reason, when I tried activating FWE (Fallout Wanderers edition) the Mod manager tells me that Archive invalidation is off and should be turned on. However when I go to tools, there is a check nearby Archive invalidation. So its on, yet I get the warning, from what I browsed on the internet, custom texture packs need Archive invalidation turned on, it IS on but the Nexus Mod Manager claims (only when turning FWE on) that its off.

You can fix the archive invalidation issue forever by installing archive invalidation invalidated mod. This is also installed by the unofficial fallout 3 patch.

The lockup at the "please wait" slide is a missing master error, that means one of your mods is looking for another mod (or DLC) that you don't have. Or you screwed up load order.
If you post your load order the mistake would probably be obvious. Just click the icon on the left of nmm to export load order to clipboard, and paste in here.

There's no way you're going to install FWE right with NMM unless you followed some tips somewhere like in my guide. :)

I currently have no mods when attempting this and I use BOSS the organize my loadout.
here is my boss log

Fallout3.esm Active
Anchorage.esm Active
ThePitt.esm Active
BrokenSteel.esm Active
Bash Tag suggestion(s): {{BASH: Actors.ACBS, Actors.AIPackages, Relev}}
PointLookout.esm Active
Zeta.esm Active

I'll get the fallout 3 unoffcial patch, and see if that changes my problem.
plus I'll see about your guide.
