Forum:Accessing DLC from multiple profiles

I saw a little tut on how to install DLC and thought this might come in helpful. I did this because I actually paid 2x to download the Underdome for Borderlands. I did it on my son's account and couldn't figure out how to access it on my account. Today I figured out how to access all my FO3 DLC from my account so I can stop spamming my son's account with my achievement points. Hopefully this is helpful to someone, as I feel like a n00b for not figuring this out until today (lol I would have done it like 8 months ago). V.A.T.S. addict 18:11, February 23, 2010 (UTC)

This is a simple tip allowing access of DLC on 1 console by multiple profile users/gamertags.

If DLC was downloaded by one profile on a console it can seem difficult or impossible to access it on that same console with a different gamertag/profile. This might prevent a player from playing on his own account and getting achievement points. In order to access DLC downloaded/paid for on another same console profile do the following:


 * Play Fallout 3 using the profile that was used to pay for DLC while connected to live.
 * Allow DLC to load up.
 * Hit x to sign out.
 * Sign in under the desired profile for achievement points.
 * The game will send you to the start menu, however all DLC will be now accessible under the alternate gamertag without spending extra $$$ to REdownload various DLC.

Alternatively, DLC that was purchased on disc (i.e. Anchorage/the Pitt, GotY Edition) can simply be loaded up under the desired profiles (same console).V.A.T.S. addict 18:11, February 23, 2010 (UTC)
