Tale of Two Wastelands installation help

[Darkswirl]

I recently got Fallout 3 and Fallout: New Vegas, with all of the DLC for both games, and was excited to finally start playing Tale of Two Wastelands. I followed the installation instrutions to the letter, but I'm stuck at where they explain that I need to place the FOMODs into the NMM FNV mods folder. I downloaded and set up Nexus Mod Manager, and it registered both Fallout games, but it didn't create any files for them, and I started up both games to make the .ini files.

Can anyone help?

I've never used TTW, but by what you seem to be asking, you need to manually place the appropriate FO3 and NV mod files into each games Data folder. For NV it is C:/Program Files [86]/Steam/Steam Apps/Common/fallout new vegas/Data. Your FO3 folder is right there also.

If I am reading your question wrong, sorry.

Edit; Your .ini files for both games are located in your Windows Documents My Games folder.

nmm has a nice blue button on the top left side of the mod folder it will let you add mod from file or url , select from file , add the 2 fomod packages continue doing what you're supposed to do

Alright, do I place the main folder for the mods, or do I have to place each individual file into the game's data folder, and not into any subfolders?

FYI, the installation of TTW is much easier with Fallout Mod Manager.

Well, TTW's page said use Nexus, so I'm using Nexus. In the future, though, I'll try it.

Part 5 of their installation guide:

When the installer finishes it will ask if you would like it to make a FOMOD; TTW is much easier to install with a mod manager, though we don't recommend NMM. We suggest you allow it to make a FOMOD. If you would rather do a manual install (not recommended) see the instructions in the next section.

FOMM 0.13.21 can be used to install the FOMOD as well, but only if you have 64-bit Windows, swap out the FOMM .exe and have at least 8GB of RAM
FOMM 0.14.11.9 can handle the install without swapping out the FOMM.exe.
Mod Organizer works as well, though you'll have more trouble with HUD mods later, should you choose to use them.

They actually state to not use NMM and use FOMM instead. If you get FOMM it makes the FOMOD for you.

Heh. Not sure if you're looking at an older installation guide, or just trying to fool me, but I currently have it open, and #5 reads as follows :

That's odd. The one I checked is v2.6.3a. Is that a more recent one?

Looks like they updated it over the past two days. I've had it opened since then, without refreshing, but I just refreshed and it says what you posted, now. My mistake.

Very bizarre. I installed 2.4a which is the version prior to the most recent that has been on the site for about 8 months and when I installed they still did not recommend NMM. :/

Eh. Since I'm this far, I'd like to keep using NMM, and I'm at the point where I've placed the files into the NMM FONV mod folder, but Nexus doesn't look like it's registering that they're there. Do I need to place the internal files into an already existing folder, or do I just place the Main and Optional folder into NMM\FONV\Mods?
