Note that games saved with mods installed (and given to the Player) that add new Perks may crash the game when those save games are loaded without the necessary mod(s) installed.
On Fallout 3 version 1.4 or older, games saved with mods installed (and given to the player) that add new Perks may crash the game when those save games are loaded without the necessary mod(s) installed. This was fixed in version 1.5 of FO3.

Modders are strongly recommended to advise player to upgrade to newest version of Fallout 3 to avoid the crash; or implement some in-game means for players to remove perks from their character should they wish to uninstall while keeping older versions of FO3, as finding the FormIDs may be too complex a task for some.
