Load order and so on....

[Battlestar1965]

Hi,

havn't looked at Vortex for a couple years and was wondering if anything changed since....i don't know ...5 years?. My main complain about Vortex back in the days was that you couldn't manage your mod load order and plugin load order manually, meaning dragging by hand. You needed to create rules for that. Looking at the Vortex wiki (https://github.com/Nexus-Mods/Vortex/wiki/MODDINGWIKI-Users-General-Managing-your-Load-Order) this still seems to be the case. Creating rules for a setup with about 1600 mods and 1200 plugins is simply not feasible. So is this still the case (managing your load orders) or has it or will it change?

I have 1500+ mod setups for FO4 and Skyrim in Vortex. Does just fine.

You can disable LOOT to do plugin LO manually if you like. File load order only matters if there are conflicts, and setting rules there works great for me.

Vortex's LOOT routines and conflict resolution has correctly handled all but a handful of over 2500 mods in my list.  There were only one or two that had to have a rule defined for them, IIRC.
