FO3 GOTY PS3 INI Mod Enabler

This file is for Sony Playstaion 3 versions of the game being run on PS3s running on Custom Firmware. PS3s on Official Firmware CANNOT utilize this file OR mods because there is no way to change the files of the game on Official Firmware.

This INI is for the US GOTY version BLUS30451, the EU version along with (IN DEVELOPMENT: the US/EU base game versions) have been uploaded to Optional Files. The Base games INI is named FALLOUT3, otherwise installation is the same as the instructions below for GOTY.

The INI File:

Open up the game files and navigate to BLUS30451-/PS3_GAME/USRDIR and get rid of your INI which is called FALLOUT_GOTY. Put the INI you got here in its place. If you want to ever revert to vanilla FO3 save your INI somewhere else.

The ArchiveInvalidationInvalidated!.bsa (Manual Version):

Take the ArchiveInvalidationInvalidated!.bsa (Manual Version) you downloaded from the REQUIREMENTS TAB and rename it in ALL CAPS to ARCHIVEINVALIDATIONINVALIDATED!. BSA so the PS3 will recognize it. Once it's named properly in ALL CAPS open up BLUS30451-/PS3_GAME/USRDIR/DATA, and drop it in.

The FO3 Plugin Utility 1. 8:

Before you open up the FO3 Plugin Utility 1. 8 you downloaded from the REQUIREMENTS TAB I would make a folder somewhere and name it something like FO3 Mods to Merge. The first time it runs it will ask where it should look for mods to merge, changing this location can be a pain, set up the location first! Also, when it spits out your merge it will generally come out as MODPACKA.esp so make sure you capitalize it to MODPACKA. ESP.

Your PS3 can now recognize 3 mod ESPs, they just need to be named MODPACKA. ESP, MODPACKB. ESP, and MODPACKC. ESP. So when you take some single mods and/or merge them together into one you'll name it one of these ESPs. They load in alphabetical order so use that as a sort of load order, A will be the beginning, B will be the middle, and C will be the end. MODPACKB can overwrite A, and MODPACKC can overwrite A & B, so try and set up your merges with a load order in mind.

Once you've got your single 3 mods or merged your mods with FO3 Plugin Utility 1. 8 into only 3 ESPs and named them properly just put them in your DATA folder which is located at BLUS30451-/PS3_GAME/USRDIR/DATA, same place we put the Archive.

Once finished, put your altered game on the PS3s internal HDD and run it, I use MulitMan. The game will run from the USB but it will have problems, also if run from USB it will copy around 7GBs to the internal HDD as an
