I am seeing this mistake in many of the load orders that have been posted. I am not entirely sure why because the author of CoS stated in the mod description the importance of using just one optional plugin. If you want the cloaks to be craft only, use the 'player only' option. If you want NPCs to have a chance of spawning with cloaks, except imperial legion, use 'no imperial.' If you want all NPCs to have a chance of spawning with cloaks, don't use any of the optional plugin. Default plugin with Wrye Bash will do. 4) Moonpath to Elseweyr has been reported to cause issues. Apparently, the mod author's advice is to enable the mod only when you want to play it, and disable it after you are finished. 5) Did BOSS report any unrecognized esp's? Thanks, very informative post. Regarding #1 I doubt it's my actual rig because for the brief moment of being about to play atm everything is running smoothly at at least 60 FPS, the crashes basically come out of nowhere with no sign of performance dropping. I tried everything there on lower settings to be sure, and no success there. I'll download Wrye Bash and merge these mods and give it a try. Hmm, I've had Moonpath on different saved games for a while now and it has never caused issues... I'll disable it for the minute to make sure. There's no unrecognized esp's according to BOSS :/
