Starting a new game, Load order 1 by 1, right?

[Emanuelbraam]

Hi everyone! I'm going to start a new game now that I've trial and errored a Load Order that I want for my next playthrough. Please peruse my LO for faux pas' and also feel free to correct the steps as I understand them.....Thanks!!!

 

So now the next steps are as follows as I understand it:

 

1. start a new game with no mods installed

2. after saving is enabled, save and exit.

3. Activate the first mod in the LO and reload your save

4. once loaded, save and exit.

5. Repeat for all mods

 

(here is where I'm unsure of which mods can be activated together. ie: all requiem mods? all unofficial patches?

 

6. Once all mods are active in the save game, run the bashed patch for compatibility and load the save one last time to start playing.

 

 

Am I on the right track? I'd love some input before I start this long process. I really appreciate the feedback and any help you can offer. Cheers! http://static.zenimax.com/forums.bethsoft.com/public/style_emoticons/default/thanks.gif

I wouldn't do that, just enable all the mods and if it doesn't crash then you are good to go. Look like you have all the Master (esm) files loaded first. The only reason you would want to load one at a time then run a save is if you are having problems, if you installed using NMM you can feel assured thing should work okay.

I just remember this was the safest way of starting Oblivion with lots of mods. I just assumed Skyrim would be a similar approach.
