"The rule of 1, esm files never ever go below esp files. your depending too much on automation".
Thanks for this. But what about esps that have no dependence on some of the masters?
Do you mean all esp plugins must load after all esm plugins - even if the esps are not dependent on some of those esms?
For example,
Landscape and Water fixes is an esp in my list that loot sorts to load quite early before some esms. So do I need to move it down the load order past every esm, even those esms it doesn't need to function?
Apachii hair is an esm in my list that loot sorts to load fairly low after a few other mods some of which are esp. So, should I move Apachii up because it is an esm, ensuring all esps load after it even those esps that do not require Apachii esm as a master?
