I have some experience modding Skyrim, but only through NMM (not much modding manually). But I can't get NMM to work with Fallout 3. The settings has the Fallout 3 directory listed as

Is this correct, or should it point to a subfolder?
I am using a simple weapon texture mod when troubleshooting as it should have no extra requirements to work. I also have FOSE, but that shouldn't be necessary to get a texture mod to work (right?).

Fallout 3 Graphic Mods Not Working
The same thing had happened to fallout 3..well I have had FO3 for quite some time already (like about 8 months) but I didnt started modding like 3 days ago, I just downloaded a few retextures and stuff like that, well the other mods showed up well with no problem, but the retexture mods were not showing, it stlll had vanilla textures.
so I looked into it a bit and some sites said that I had to change some things from some files, like a line saying validateolderbin from 0 to 1 or something like that, well I did, for all the 3 files that I had to mod, but still no result. so I just gave up FO3 modding there. I bought NV yesterday from the steam sale, and I started modding, downloading retextures (I download and install ALL mods with the NMM) however, the same crap happens, texture mods wont show up, it still has the vanilla textures.. with FO3 I tried using some file called invalidated invalidator or something like that..I activate it and did everything properly but it didnt changed anything, I havent tried with NV tho but I dont think it will do anything. so can anyone help me? what am I doing wrong? I dont want to play it without mods because quite frankly it looks terrible. my PC specs: AMD phenom II x4 965 be @ 3.4 ghz XFX radeon 6850 1gb 4gb RAM DDR3 windows 7 x64 and yes I did made sure that the mods installed correctly
I've read a lot of threads here and on other forums, and tried a very lot of things to get it working. Still not successefull.
The Fear and Loathing guide did not help aswell.
Because the other thread arround here is related to Fallout New Vegas i thought it would be bedder to open a new one.
The Problem:
Archive Invalidation not working with Mod Organizer for Fallout 3.
Why i know that?:
Any textures or meshes added to Mod Organizer does not show up ingame. (but .esps are loaded)
I made a new profile, and checked the auto archive Invalidation (Yes it is checked), and all default bsa etc are checked.
No mod or extras are added, except one texture changer. (for testing purposes)
A Laser Rifle texture which is also checked in the mod section.
When i run the game through MO: no texture changes.
When i run the game through Steam->FO3 Launcher: texture changed.
Info:
Windows 8.1, Game from Steam. Installed in default steam directory (no external Library)
The game dir is clear and fresh, its FOSE and an ENB installed.
MO installed on another SSD.
MO Version: 1.3.4
Started every program with admin rights.
MO profiles are set to r/w with windows so changes should save properly.
And i want to get this working because i dont want to use something like Fallout Mod Manager =/
