I. My mod consists of:
-rockville.esp
-rockville_readme.txt
-rockville - textures.bsa
-rockville - voices.bsa (optional)

If you don’t see those files in: C:\Program Files\Bethesda Softworks\Fallout 3\Data then you still need to extract them from the zip file.

II. To Extract an Oblivion mod:
-Download the mod
-Unzip it into your Fallout 3/Data directory (default C:\Program Files\Bethesda Softworks\Fallout 3\Data)

III. Opening & Extracting Files
-If you are running WinXP, you can double click the file and it will open it in a separate window.
-On the left of the window, click “Extract all files” this will open a wizard
-Click next
-Click the “Browse” button and find or type in “C:\Program Files\Bethesda Softworks\Fallout 3\Data” (Assuming you installed Fallout 3in the default spot)
-Click next (it will humm along and extract the files to the specified location)
-That’s it

IV. To enable a Fallout 3 mod:
-Start Fallout 3
-Select “Data Files”
-Place a check next to the mods you wish to enable (Fallout3.esm must be checked)
-Run Fallout 3

V. There is a potential conflict with other mods involving being unable to click dialogue options, click menu options, click inventory items, or even see the names of inventory items. Changing the load order should resolve the issue.
