DarNfied UI For Fallout 3 - DUI F3 Settings Option Not Working

Hello, everyone. This is a quick post for folks (like me) using DarNfied UI for Fallout 3.

After the last Fo3 update and the required Anniversary Patcher use, you can't use the "DUI F3" settings option in the game's main menu (it does nothing). Do the following to access the DUI F3 in the game's pause menu (credits to DarkDominion):

"Open start_menu.xml in Data/Menus/Options with Darn installed

find the <_isPauseMenu> line

Edit <eq> 9 </eq> to <eq> 8 </eq> two lines under it (line 51)

DARN uses the number of items in the start menu list to detect the main menu.

The patcher removes the LIVE button so DARN's check fails

The code checks if the number of items in the menu equals 9 ( or 8 )"

That's all for today.

One Way To Fix The Issues With DarNified UI, Adjustable HUD, Immersive HUD, UIO and Other HUD mods (Fallout 3).

 So, I was reinstalling Fallout 3 and found some issues when using DarNified UI, Adjustable HUD, Immersive HUD, UIO (User Interface Organizer), and other HUD mods. For some reason, Immersive HUD would only hide the elements on the top half of the screen, while AHUD simply didn't move any element.
After searching the comment sections of all those mods and more, I found the solution thanks to a comment made by the user MattB2020 on the Adjustable HUD page. Follow the instructions in the image below, rename the required files correctly, and place them in the correct folders: 

Since I'm no expert in HUD mods and XML files, I don't know what is happening with UIO or why this works. That's all for today.

A Possible Fix For The GECK Installation (Fallout 3)

If you tried to install the GECK for Fallout 3, issues may have prevented the installation of the main file and update from working. The comment below, made by a now-deleted account on Nexus, explains what to do. It worked for me.

Fallout 3 - Cut Content (DC Ruins)

I watched this interesting video, made by TriangleCity, which talks about the cut content of Fallout 3. It's focused on the DC Ruins. 

First 2024 Post

Hello, everyone. It's been a while since I posted here. This is the first post of 2024 and I hope to produce for the channel what I had planned for 2023 (a rather complicated year for me).

The Fallout 3 mod showcase continues. It's funny that some of these videos take longer to edit than 2 or 3 episodes of my old Fallout 3 playthrough.

Other games besides Fallout may appear on the channel this year, but I don't want to promise anything. The videos will appear on the channel by surprise.

Finally, and I know those who watch the channel are waiting, the New Vegas playthrough (with lots of mods) is still in the plans. Many factors have delayed this project such as real-life, technical issues, and the quantity of mods being released and updated.

That's all for today.

I'm Back.

 Hello, everyone.

I'm slowly getting back to posting videos on the channel. Most of them will be videos showing mods I've used or those being released for Fallout 3 (the ones I find interesting). No new playthroughs yet, but that's the plan for the next few months (and not just Fallout). There will still be a playthrough of Fallout: New Vegas and it will be so long that we'll all die of old age. I'm analyzing what I want to add to the game, the compatibility details, and more.

That's all, folks.

Fallout 3 - Alton (IL) - The Mysterious Book In Houck Residence

If you played the Alton mod for Fallout 3, chances are you found a Mysterious Book in Houck Residence (the southeast area of the map). If you try to pick the book, you'll hear an unlocking sound, but nothing happens. Upon some search in the comment section of the mod page (using the forum), I found that the content related to the book was cut before release. Ignore that book, and don't spend 15 minutes trying to figure things out (like I did).
