Yeah, good point. I've spent the past 5 days trying to get my mods working on Vortex, so I'm going to just play the game (which is running well) and uninstall problematic mods. The only dirty plugins I really have are 4 RH_Ironsight plugins, so I'll just uninstall RH_Ironsight totally if I have issues playing the DLCs. Might give FOMM-FORK a go at some point, so ty for recommendation. Thanks alot for the help man, appreciate it loads! :)

Ah right, thanks. How should the DLC plugins be ordered? I currently have it as Fallout3, anchorage, pitt, broken steel, point lookout, zeta. That is correct for ordering the DLC. However, you have mod plugins that should be in the same order. ie: Weapon Mod Kits. Also, I noticed a compatibility patch out of order. Patches must load after the last mod file being patched. In your current load order, RH_WMK Bridge should be after the last WMK plugin. I followed your instructions and placed "RH_WMK Bridge" after the last WMK plugin ("WMK-Zeta.esp"), however Vortex's manage rules function isn't allowing me to correctly order other akin plugins. For example, I can't place "WMK-ThePitt" after "WMK-OperationAnchorage". Vortex is so goddamn inconsistent I swear :( so frustrating. Any tips? Vortex is really good, but this is a definite caveat of it.

New load order: 1. https://gyazo.com/b07f42c96ad47f750f719ffee332f73f 2. https://gyazo.com/1af9bee973cf53db492fdd2b321565dc I used the "Manage rules" button to implement rules that stipulate that the load order should be 1. Fallout 3 2. Anchorage 3. Pitt 4. BrokenSteel. 5. PointLookout 6. Zeta. I think I implemented all your requested changes to my load order, but I am right in using the "Manage rules" button to make the DLC plugins "load in the same order as the base game" ? Let me know what yah think. Thanks.

Thanks so much for quick response! Will do as u said and report back.

Everytime I try to clean my dirty dlc related plugins via Fallout 3 edit, such as "RH_Ironsights_basic_pittplugin" and "Anchorage.esm", Fallout 3 edit fails to load my vortex load order. This result in Fallout 3 edit saying "An error occured while loading modules" and "Backgroud Loader: Fatal: <Exception: Unofficial Fallout 3 Patch.esm requires Fallout3.esm to be loaded before it". Instead of my vortex loader order (evidenced below via gyazo screenshots), I get this weird load order-->https://gyazo.com/4fd1067ae348f94cdf381b0fe6dd88da. Everything in my new modded fallout 3 playthrough is working fine, however I just don't want to get to the DLCs and find that they're broken because of dirty DLC related plugins. Literally have spent 4-5 days on this. Some people say that cleaning dlc related plugins is imperative and others say that their games worked fine with dirty dlc related plugins, so I'm super confused on top of being annoyed. Any help would be much x 1000 appreciated :smile: Gyazo screenshots of my dirty plugins: 1. https://gyazo.com/568c037aee4e9968a40ea86a9ea70997 2. https://gyazo.com/10f4c37e5c03a969706b36ee20554093 3.https://gyazo.com/8f3a4fcf0c03390a8e3025e5d51a7d31 My vortex loader order: 1. https://gyazo.com/87db26d292eeaa22268a36b45b07d463 2. https://gyazo.com/1823429bcd987c5c29ad66e9ac064012 3. https://gyazo.com/42ea2f366486d3b7fe68ca8b24c2e84f
