Need help looking into my load order

[kape001]

So I'm fairly new to modding BGS games. I'm awared that load order can affects stability and if not performance. But I still can't get it, how does load order actually works when I start the game? Does load order have to do with the problems I faced below?
My Fallout 4 mod list is around 250 mods, overall I'm quite happy with the results and performance. But I did came across some issues:

• There's a mod called "Kill Tips & Hit sound", it basically add hit sound and prompt UI tip when you get a kill. Although it worked as intended, I often found that the sound and UI prompt are delayed(mostly about 3-5 sec).
• Pip-boy is really laggy on DATA tab(where the quest is showed).I tried disabling every pip-boy related mods, but no luck.
• Sometimes game crashes while I start to shoot on enimies, have no idea what is causing this issue.

Below I will post my mod list. I use MO2.

Any help would be appreciated :)

First, you made a user-friendly list with sections and details what mods need to be loaded where. Others just but the whole list and do nothing.

Second, I am NOT a modder nor an advanced user. Because I install as many mods as possible (atm 591 activated plugins (I had weeks ago almost 900 active plugins!!!)) I learned much about load orders.

Question:

Do you use Mod Organizer 2?

 

Did you install...

 

FO4EDIT?
Wrye Bash?
LOOT?
Buffout 4? (because you use AAF)
[and necessary/needed/important mods?]
(I have all installed/use them)

I would say that you should let LOOT sorts your load order - especially the Masters. It sorts the Masters - almost - correctly.
Then open Wrye Bash and see if it shows plugins with orange/red warnings. It tells you why they are load wrong. Then sort them MANUALLY above and or below their missing masters.

For the ,ESPs: LOOT does NOT sort them properly and messes up the load order, so looking in Wrye Bash is VERY important and sorting them manually.

LOST AWKCR VIS-G Patches: They need to be loaded LAST but BEFORE Pip-Boy Flashlight.

Scrap related mods: They need to be loaded LAST too (after LOST Patches).

I also have AAF, AAF animation mods and Ulf's patch and I also installed and loaded them as bottom as possible.

There are many vids that discuss load order. Also the above-poster had good advice (though I believe you are using MO2not Vortex?) I can answer your query re: Kill Tips & Hit sound. That, I believe, is normal. Not sure why there is such a delay.
