Compatibility Patches

I didn't sign up for this. This is someone's bullshit political agenda. Who authorized this? - Jack Ryan.

But you must persevere to the end, knowing that only then can you proceed with your head held high!

You didn't really think that after installing so many mods you wouldn't need to add a bunch of compatibility patch mods, did you! Seriously? Just be happy that almost all the compatible patches you need are already available! Many of them weren't available until years after the game was released.

Now you probably think that when these are installed all the compatibility issues will be fixed. This is where I usually provide the pointer to the FO3Edit manual so you can learn how to build additional compatibility patches (in case you forgot to ask it's here)
The end of this section has a list of which patches in this subsection are used for different combinations of Fallout 3 mods. The patch mods listed cover many but not all of the incompatibilities. Weapon mod compatibility is especially challenging with WMK, RH_Ironsights, and retexture mods making changes across the records in the weapon objects and in the meshes of the weapon models.

• Notes: Provides compatibility among 20th Century Weapons, FWE, CALIBR, and eXcalibr Munitions. The patch plugin has a few bad entries but these don't seem to affect the bashed patch. The full name of all the mods in this section are quite long and can cause problems during installation if the full name of the mod file is used as the mod name in MO; using a shorter version of this name during installation is recommended.
• Installation:

1. Get the "20th Century Weapons -Plus- Reborn FWE-WMK-Calibr14_V1_70RC_Full_Version" main file and the update 20th Century Weapons -Plus- Reborn FWE-WMK-Calibr14_V1_70RC_HotFix-Update-3.
Install main file with MO, and install the update file into the same mod folder (using [Merge]). None of the plugins are needed ( The next mod includes updated versions of the records from the main plugin.) so they can all be moved to the Optional ESPs folder.
Four of the plugins can be deleted if desired (Calibr.esm and plugins with Alive(Chinese Ghoul), ALIVE (Test Container) and ALIVE(SuperMutant) in the name)
After installation right click the mod in the left pane of MO, select Open in explorer, and copy the Fx folder in Sounds to the Sound folder where it will be merged with other sounds. Close the explorer window.
Double click the mod in the left pane of MO, select the Filetree tab, and open the textures\weapons folder.
Also Hide the 2handrifle folder.
2. If the "RH Ironsights" mod is being used also get the optional additional "20th_Century_Weapons -Plus- Reborn_v1_70RC-18668_Ironsights_v1_1_Full_Version". The update is no longer needed the update isn't needed.
Install the main file as a separate mod with MO, then double click the mod and move the plugin to "Optional ESPs". The next mod includes updated versions of the records from this plugin.

RH_IronSights FWE- WMK compatible

Core 

Cleaning 

• Author: stabbycarrot
• Version: vlatest
• Requirements: FWE 6.03, WMK, RH_Ironsights (original version or the recommended Paradox Ignition merged version).
• Notes: This mod allow iron sights to be used with all FWE modded weapons without messing up their damage values.
• Installation: Download and install the ESP patch file with MO.

This mod combines the "WeaponModKits - FWE Master Release" plugin from "FOIP - Weapon Mod Kits and FWE 6-03" and the "RH_WMK_Bridge" plugin from RH_Ironsights, so those two plugins are no longer needed.

Fallout Interoperability Program - FOIP

• Author: Mezmorki
• Version: various
• Notes: This mod contains patches for many of the most popular FO3 mods with conflicts.
• Requirements: Mods in this guide including FWE 6.03, WMK and Project Beauty
• Installation: If RH_Ironsights is not used download "FOIP - Weapon Mod Kits and FWE 6-03" and install the WeaponModKits - FWE Master Release.esp patch plugin. If neither of the optional mods EVE or MMM is being used, download and install "FOIP - Project Beauty and FWE", otherwise use patches from Blackened for Project Beauty instead.

Blackened

• Author: BlackRampage
• Version: v3.3
• Requirements: Optional mods in this guide (EVE and/or MMM) and several other mods including FWE 6.03, DC Interiors, RH_Ironsights, and Project Beauty.
• Notes: This mod is the major source of compatibility patches when the optional mods EVE and/or MMM are used. It also has other useful patches. The patches from this mod are regularly updated, so these are preferred over patches from FOIP unless neither EVE or MMM is used. Blackened patches that use Marts Mutant Mod - RC 62 expect the Paradox Ignition merged plugin version of the MMM plugin.

There are 21 GMST ITMs in patches that include MMM, but these are used to make sure that MMM functions properly in spite of other mods that may also be used. Don't remove these. If EVE is used make sure that the Blackened RH_Ironsights - FWE - EVE patch is downloaded and installed.

• Installation: Choose and download the desired patches, including the Blackened RH_Ironsights - FWE - EVE patch if EVE is used and, if either MMM or EVE is used, download one of the other patches that includes FWE and Project Beauty. Install the desired patches with MO; if multiple Blackened patches are used the installation order doesn't typically matter, except make sure the Blackened RH_Ironsights - FWE - EVE patch (if used) is installed last.
• Cleaning Warning: Do not clean the ITM records from the patches that include MMM.
