Mod Help
I have never played Fallout 1 or 2 with any kind of mod enabled. I have actually never played any game with a mod enabled. I have no idea how to go about it. I have Fallout loaded on Windows XP computer. Fallout 2 is actually only on my Mac so I don't think I could do anything with that unless I found a Fal;lout 2 torrent and put it on my PC. Anyway, is there a site or something that would be a good place to start? Any input would definitely be appreciated.
Wasteland Radio, with Charlie C.
Just follow the instructions. If there aren't any(highly unlikely), overwrite the original files and folders with the ones provided in the mod. Of course, you can't play the vanilla Fallout after you've installed the mod. Sometimes there's a special plug-in tool for mods, but I doubt there's one for Fallout.
Good luck finding enjoyable Fallout mods though. There's Megamod and New Vision for Fallout 2, but that's about it. Wasteland Merc 1 & 2 are the only available total conversions.

If mod replaces files in a folder, and you rename that folder exe file will automaticly create new Fallout2/data folder. You can have 100 fallout2/data folders in your fallout as long as they are not called same. One that is called Fallout2/data is the one that the game is going to use. So you can have Fallout2/dataVanilla and Fallout2/dataMegamod and just switch back and forward when ever you want to play. If there is no folder called Fallout2/data than on next startup of the game it will get automaticly created and it will be Vanilla fallout2.Haris you dipshit, what if the mod replaces the data files in a folder ?
Rename wont work then.
I do realise now why fanout died, you guys didnt even figure out how file system works in fallout.
