LOOT will not obey custom rule.

[beebophuckleberry]

My LO begins with;

 

unofficial skyrim special edition patch.esp

landscape and water fixes.esp

lightened skyrim - merged.esp

cathedral - 3d mountain flowers.esp

 

The esp's all sort fine with LOOT. Lightened Skyrim has TS5 records. To fix that I open Lightened Skyrim in CK and save. This makes all the TS5 records go away.

 

But, after saving in CK, LOOT now tries to put Cathedral's mountain flowers BEFORE Lightened Skyrim.

 

I made a custom rule to fix this, but loot WILL NOT let me put Lightened Skyrim before Cathedrals 3D Mountain Flowers.

 

Nothing has changed except that I opened Lightened Skyrim in CK and saved. After doing that it won't sort correctly.

 

If I reinstall Lightened then it'll sort correctly. But, the moment I open it in CK and save it, then it won't sort before Cathedral's mountain flowers.

 

What is going on?

Open the original Lightened Skyrim in SSEEdit / TES5Edit and check the header section of the plugin. You're looking to see if it is an ESP flagged as an ESM. If it is, then you are most likely losing the ESM flag when re-saving in the SSE CK.

You are brilliant. That is exactly what happened. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.
