Well, I removed that codec. No effect on the freeze/CTD situation. No big deal as long as I stay away from FOSE.

Just another heads-up:
After updating Windows Vista, Windows Data Execution Prevention kept crashing the game and displaying that "Windows DEP has prevented Fallout3.exe blah blah" pop-up. I had to add it to the DEP exception list and it's running fine now.

I've been getting crashes too, though most of them are just simple CTDs. I've had two that shut my monitor off (blind-typing start->run->cmd fixes that, though I still have to bring my display settings back to normal) and so far 3 that made my PC BSOD itself, all of them when entering VATS. I'd turn off FOSE but I'm really enjoying FWE too much, so I'm leaving it on.
Here's my own mod listing:
FWE, which in turn requires CRAFT and CALIBR; I have the optional Level 30 Balancer, No Fast Travel and Sneak Messages Returned mods as well.
DarnUI of course.
More Where That Came From, despite the fact that I almost never listen to the radio.
Fellout, and the additional Megaton lights, streetlights and wasteland lights mods.
A color mod for the Pipboy light that makes it white.
aaaaand the Anchorage Start Condition mod that ties in Anchorage with a quest you do for the Outcast at their HQ.

Once you've installed all of your mods, I recommend creating a merged patch in (

This gives you increased stability, because mod incompatibilities can make the game crash. You have to make a new one every time that you install or uninstall a new mod that uses an ESP.
Also patching your ESPs by running FO3Edit in MasterUpdate mode decreases incompatibility.
In your load order put any ESMs at the very top, with Fallout3.esm first and any DLCs that you have purchased directly after it. The U3FP ESPs should proceed directly after your ESMs.

I'm about to fire this up again.
Will likely charge through the main storyline since I'm mainly doing it just so I can finish the DLCs, but I imagine I'll leave it installed so that I can pop back in from time to time and shoot stuff.
What are the current must-have mods? I'm wary of things that are going to change the game too much, but am totally up for visual improvements, UI tweaks and things like lore-friendly variation of weapons and armour.
I'm going to get this game fully done once and for all so I can move on to New Vegas, which I'm told is superior.
