All New saves corrupted after moving DLC, HELP!

Swizzler

First time out of the vault
Hi I was wondering If anyone else has had this problem. I moved the Operation Anchorage DLC (with the original still in the first folder) to my data folder so I could use the new pieces in my mod, but now every save made after I did that is corrupt, and if I "unactivate" the DLC in the data files menu, the game crashes. Has anyone got around this? Is there any way to save my saves made before I moved the DLC? I don't want to redo everything :(
 
My apologies if I'm not too helpful but I did not run into this problem. Still the reason I did not is that I'm using the FOSE loader, which might be the same reason you copied your files over. In other words I'm thinking it is games for windows related, but if you are starting the game without that running then I dont know.
 
I think I'm going to backup my saves and reinstall fallout 3, but before I do, I have one more stupid question: I know Microsoft understands digital download as much as squirrels understand calculus, so If I uninstall and reinstall will I be able to re-download Op:Anchorage without buying it again?

Hmm... ugh. Not sure... it is literally a mod though, so you should be able to drag and drop it into another folder to be safe.
 
good news! I reinstalled and everything works fine now! I have all my saves and everything! So a note to modders: don't copy the DLC to the data folder MOVE it.
