What I do is load all my mods with FO4Edit to check for conflicts and then I try to make patches myself. There might be some mods that just won't work great together no matter what you do though.

For performance, you might try to remove Boston FPS Fix, replace it with Previsibines Repair Pack (PRP) and then put it at the end of your load order. Though the problem with mods like PRP is that they conflict with other mods that also changes the precombines and would need to be patched to work together, so keep that in mind. Make sure all your face and body textures are packed in a BA2 archive for better performance as well, especially if you use 2K or 4K textures. Also, be careful with using too many mods that add scripts that run in the background.

You have Mod Priority and Plugin Priority - they aren't the same thing.

Mod Priority is primarily designed to manage loose file conflicts.    Your mod manager should alert you of any loose file conflicts and let you know which one is winning that conflict.

If you have no loose file conflicts it doesn't matter what order your Mod Priority is.   If you do, you need to make sure the mod you want to win that conflict comes AFTER the other.

Ex.   HUD Framework and FallUI HUD.    FallUI HUD was built with HUD Framework support so I want it to win the conflict with the HUDMenu.SWF file.

If I had them reversed, FallUI HUD woudn't work properly.

----------

Plugin Priority is used to manage plugin record conflicts between 2 or more mods.   

It is also used to manage file conflicts between mods within .BA2's - if your mod manager can show you those.

.BA2's are loaded according to Plugin Priority - so if you have file conflicts within 2 or more .BA2's you'd rearrange the Plugins to manage that.    

FO4Edit is used to find those record conflicts in the plugins..   In some instances there are 3rd party patches already made to address them, other times all you might need to do is just rearrange the mods, other times you might need to create your own compatibility patch.

---------

Lastly, loose files always win.    So if you have a mod with a loose file and four other mods with that same file packed in .BA2's - that loose file will win that conflict by default.

Thank you to you both!

I'd just like to add one more thing with regard to load priority. I generally have around 600 to 1000 installed mods at any given time. I uninstall some and install others depending on the playthrough I want, but I never automate load order priority.

Instead I know intimately what every single mod does. I never install anything unless I fully understand it.

This makes it easy to decide, when multiple mods touch the same aspects of a game, what the load order needs to be.

If you follow somebody else' procedure on load order, or if you allow an AI to handle your load order, you're going to run into issues at some point and won't be able to figure out the solution.

But if you know what everything you install does, you simply won't have load order related issues.

Last year my hard drive failed, and I had to reinstall all my mods from scratch. But because I knew what they do, picking an installation load order wasn't a problem. Yes, it took days because I always make sure to test installations in game before loading the next mod, but that's simply how it's done.

Don't install dozens of mods at once. And look at your mod list before deciding what the next best thing to install is.

I'm checking FO4Edit, but when patching some conflicts, I've found this. Do you know what it is or what can I do to solve it?

[Karna5]

Solve what?
The red lines are things that can changed more than once. Whatever the last thing to load is will get it.

If you make an override patch, make sure your patch loads last and that it has all the fields and settings you want.

If you mean the Unknown line, you don't need to worry about it. In-game it generally works fine. I used to delete those lines until I discovered they're not actually broken. It's just FO4Edit doesn't know what the field is based on what you loaded for it.
