Mod patches in the load order

[WondringLisa]

I am tinkering with me SSE load order and am wondering, is it better to stack patches for mods at the end of the order, or with the mods they are patching?

I tend to load patches after the last mod in the load order that they are patches for. :)

No don't stack patches, because the patches may have to go in between mods.

 

Stacking them together at the end of the load order defeats the purpose, because all of the "Patch Parts" won't affect the mods they're patching

 

Example, Say Mod A needs a patch to work with Mod B

 

Now if you have them THIS way Mod A---->Patch A------>Mod B then it's patched properly to work with Mod B

That is how patches work

 

If you do it this way Mod A----->Mod B------>Patch A,, then Patch A might as well not even be in your load order because all of the stuff from Mod A is UNPATCHED for Mod B

just make sure your patch goes after the mod its patching. no reason to get overly clever.

I apply them as the particular contention requires. I let Vortex do the heavy lifting. Makes life very easy and I spend almost all my time with this game actually playing this game instead of playing the "Endlessly Configuring and Debugging" version.
