Activating the DLC
1. Go to your Steam library and click "Play" on Fallout 3.

2. Click on "Data Files" in the Fallout 3 launcher menu.

3. You will see a set of boxes pop up. Most likely, only Fallout3.esm will be checked.

4. Check all of the boxes with the names of the DLC packages; ex: BrokenSteel.esm

And there you go! For some reason, Steam installs the DLC, but does not activate it so I hope this helps those of you that have not been able to access the DLC. If you found this helpful, it would be greatly appreciated if you favorited and rated! Thanks!

Are there any suggested levels for starting any of the DLC's?

important step missing: once you have done the steps above you need to re-finish Fallout for DLC to load!
