Shadeybladey Posted January 23, 2023 Share Posted January 23, 2023 Why is my Morrowind.ini always doing this? GameFile0=Bloodmoon.esmGameFile1=Morrowind.esmGameFile2=Tribunal.esm I manually reorder them and change the numbers, load a game, close and they've been put back. Wrong! So how can I make a permanent change to my Morrowind load order? I used the latest Morrowind Code Patch and XGE XE with MWSE. Maybe they did the mods alphabetically or something? Or could I make my changes manually and then make Morrowind.ini read only? This is the load order it's forcingGameFile0=Bloodmoon.esmGameFile1=Morrowind.esmGameFile2=Tribunal.esmGameFile3=Bag of Holding.ESPGameFile4=House of Mannequins - Mistform fix.espGameFile5=House of Mannequins v1.0.espGameFile6=Morrowind Rebirth - Mercenaries [Addon].ESPGameFile7=Morrowind Rebirth [Main].ESPGameFile8=MultiMarkOMW.espGameFile9=PB_SignpostsRetextured.espGameFile10=P_Campfire.ESPGameFile11=Robert's Bodies.ESPGameFile12=Simple Camping.ESPGameFile13=Skyrim Crafting for Morrowind GOTY.espGameFile14=The Bare Necessities WanderRA Skyrim Crafting.espGameFile15=TheBareNecessities.espGameFile16=TheBareNecssitiesConsole.espGameFile17=_shb_Mage_Stronghold.espGameFile18=_shb_spell_seller.esp It even puts the Mistform fix BEFORE House of Mannequins.

FIMzzZzz Posted January 23, 2023 Share Posted January 23, 2023 not sure, just some ideas do you start MW with Morrowind.exe or Morrowind Launcher.exe, if launcher maybe try mw.exe after fixing the load orderor maybe try wrye mash with mlox Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dragon32 Posted January 23, 2023 Share Posted January 23, 2023 Use mloxhttps://github.com/rfuzzo/mlox AFAIR what's in morrowind.ini isn't load order, that's an alphabetical list telling the game which plugins to load. Actual load order is based on Date Modified of the actual file. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadeybladey Posted January 24, 2023 Author Share Posted January 24, 2023 I tried Wrye Mash and it seems to be OK, but it changed the dates of my own mods for some reason. At first, Wrye Mash didn't seem to do anything, but there's a tiny, unmarked thing I could click on that said Update, IIRC, and then I could save. But where is the actual load order stored? Skyrim has LoadOrder.txt and PlugIns.txt, so what does Morrowind have and where is it? Thanks for the replies :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shadeybladey Posted January 25, 2023 Author Share Posted January 25, 2023 Crikey, that's insane. Cheers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FIMzzZzz Posted January 25, 2023 Share Posted January 25, 2023 mlox makes it sane, and if you have to manually reorder something, you can re-date an esp with wrye mash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadeybladey Posted January 25, 2023 Author Share Posted January 25, 2023 mlox makes it sane, and if you have to manually reorder something, you can re-date an esp with wrye mash.No, I will never use a Mod Mangler. So, there IS no file that controls load order, it's done by DATE MODIFIED of the esm and esp files? Strewth! Modding Skyrim is so much easier! I got the original Morrowind and DLC when they came out on disk, then GotY edition. I've not played it since 2015, and I've forgotten everything I knew! I'm only using about 15 mods, anyway. So if I change the load order by moving eps files up and down in Wrye Mash and Save, that will automatically change the date modified and load things correctly?
