LOOT by itself has caused issues with my load order a few times. I used the LOOT feature of ModOrganizer and it was a little more tolerable, but still far from perfect. Put AWKCR below masters as stated and SKE right along side that. As far as DEF_UI and VIS, I suggest putting those below the 2 KW mods. Example: Fallout4.esm <--DLC ESMs in released order--> <--Other ESMs--> AWKCR SKE DEF_UI VIS LooksMenu <---Other Plugins---> SCRAP Mods like Spring Cleaning or Scrap Everything (always last)
You'll want to put anything that touches menus near the top of your load order AWKCR, AE/WE, then anything that touches cells. Usually you'll also want scrap mods at the bottom. I had some issues with Spring Cleaning and Scrap Everything (individually at first) until I put the scrap mods at the bottom.
Sorry for the necro post, but rather than add another thread for the same issue, I'd like to state that I am having issues with this as well. Unlike others however, I am NOT using Homemaker, SK, or OCDecorator.
