Dregg97 Posted November 6 Share Posted November 6 Hello, I'm encountering a problem. I'm modding Skyrim, and I want a specific mod (armor_perk_fix) to load after another one (correctif cutting room floor). So I create a new rule and sort the plugins but I get the "plugins not sorted because of cyclic rules" message. The problem is that there are no cyclic rules ! There is only one rule (A must load after B). But it keeps telling me there are cyclic rules even if I delete the rules and create just one rule again. And I get the same message every time I try to create a rule involving armor_perk_fix. How I can I fix that ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pickysaurus Posted November 7 Share Posted November 7 Have you tried accepting the suggestion in the screenshot? Maybe, you're creating the rule the wrong way around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And how do you know whether a plugin is a master or not ? Also, if it can't load after a .esp, why can skyrim_armor_perk_fix.esl load after unofficial skyrim special edition patch.esp ?

7531Leonidas Posted November 19 Share Posted November 19 .esl files are treated as master files (or .esm) by the game system, esp-fe are treated as .esp files by the sorting rules, and there are some few mods that have both an .esm and .esp (or esp-fe) included together in the mod, to work around load order problems.

vortexposer Posted November 20 Share Posted November 20 The Flags column also shows which are master (hover mouse over icons). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, if it can't load after a .esp, why can skyrim_armor_perk_fix.esl load after unofficial skyrim special edition patch.esp ? To rephrase what has been said above: .esm files are masters .esl files are (light) masters However, a .esp file can be any combination of master/not master, light/not light. So while you can be sure that a .esm or .esl file is a master, for a .esp file you need to consult the flags column inside Vortex. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
