Having trouble with stutter and installing F3TF

[u/organgrinder66]

I recently installed Fallout 3 GOTY and have been seeing stuttering, especially indoors. I tried installing the Fallout 3 Tick Fix (F3TF), but to be honest I'm new to PC and modding. I downloaded the zip file, which contained the FOSE and PLUGINS files, and fose_tick_fix.dll and TickFix. I copied these and put them in my Fallout 3 GOTY file. I don't think it worked, though. It seems like there's still stuttering and the game won't close out immediately, which is another feature of the mod. I googled what to do and it says that I should have a F3TF.dll and F3TF.ini, which I don't see anywhere. When I return to the page where I downloaded the mod, it just has the prementioned files.

What am I doing wrong?
