manual mod instalation order

[Pharaun159]

Hey fellas,

 

I have been out of the modding world for quite some time(cough morrowind cough) and im rebelling against the consol gamers world and going back to pc gameing. built a nice rig, that should beable to handle anything the modding community throws at me. downside is that i have no available source of internet where i live, so im downloading a list of mods at work, to install at home. list is:

 

claralux

sharpshooters

birds/flocks/ flights skyrim

climates of tamriel

expanded winterhold

frostfall

immersive armors

immersive weapons

SkyRe

SkyUI

skse

tribunal robes (and all patches includeing skyre's)

ufo

WATER

winter is comeing cloaks

reproccer

reproccer patch

 

considering:

college of winterhold redone

midas magic

and im looking for a good mod to improve all the cities appearence and atmosphere

 

so alot of mods. My question is, what would be the best order to manually install all these mods, so that i dont end up beating my head against the wall doing things over.

Like with Morrowind, the only things you have to install in a certain order are mods that just change the vanilla meshes/textures, and may overwrite each other. For example, I have these mods installed:

SMIM

Skyrim HD 2K Lite

WATER

Flora Overhaul

Enhanced Night Skyrim

Superior Rocks

Improved Clothing

HAR

...among others, and installed in pretty much this order. Big mods first (SMIM, Skyrim 2K), followed by mods that just affect certain things (WATER etc.) and then smaller mods that only touch one or two things, like Nightingale Prime, which only retextures the Nightingale items.

 

The other things you've listed can be installed in pretty much any order, but make sure you only install a few mods at a time to help prevent/troubleshoot issues.

 

You can use BOSS to sort the load order, Wrye Bash to manually edit the load order (and create a Bashed Patch; pretty much the Oblivion/Skyrim version of Mashed Lists.esp), and TES5Edit to clean mods. Also, the Reproccer patcher will need to be run every time you install, uninstall or change a mod, else Skyrim will crash.

Thank you very much. I was under the impression that the reproccer was only for keeping skyre compatable with everything. So if I install all other mods first, and then install skyre. I should only have to run the reprocccer once correct? Also another option that occurred to me was this. I could install skyrim on my laptop (even though it can t support it graphically). Use the mod manager to install all mods after after my texture mods. Then run the reproccer, and then move all files over to my pc at home to overwrite the previouse skyrim files. Would that work? Or am I asking for a headache?
