Mod Organizer 1, No game identified. Unable to manually select exe either

[Stormside76]

I'm having some troubles with Mod Organizer not detecting Fallout 3. I installed the game on my SSD and it doesn't detect the game and the game/launcher files aren't visible when manually searching for them. I've tried finding a fix here on the forums but couldn't find a fix. It's a fresh install on my SSD, the Mod organizer is also installed on said SSD. It's just odd that the files aren't showing up when I search for them through MO but I have no trouble finding them when I just search through the file explorer

Try starting FO3 using it's launcher to establish the registry entries. Then reboot and check again. Also, be sure to install MO according to some best practices.

I have already started it and rebooted multiple times. The file explorer can see the game files just fine but MO just doesn't. https://imgur.com/a/UWYXBBW

The prompt wants you to select the Fallout 3 folder, not any particular file. That image on the right, do what you did and click Select Folder button. You are not supposed to see files in that window.

When I click just the folder I get the same error. I've tried moving the game between different drives, reinstalling the game and MO as well

What version of the game are you using? Steam or GOG?

Please, just take a few minutes and read how to install and configure MO.

For that matter toss MO1 and install MO2. MO1 is no longer supported by any developer nor us.
