My Install order - Looks okay?

[jordan7890]

After taking a break from modding I've come back for another attempt at installing 100+ Mods.

I will ONLY list the mods that have possible conflicts/overwrites when installed. Note a few things:

 

1) Some items are subscribed on steam and will therefore always be installed first. I will mark these items with a (s)

2) I will list them in the order they are going to me installed.

3) This thread will have nothing to do with load order, just the installation order.

 

I've done my best to categorize them for easier reading with simple spaces, but don't expect 100% correct categorization from me. Note that they are still listed by order of installation, all I did was add spaces.

 

So, does this look correct?

(s) Splash of Rain (possibly not compatible with CoT?)

(s) Torches for Realistic Lighting (not tailored for RLFX, but as far as I know still compatible)

(s) Towns and Villages Enhanced (all of them, a total of 13 items)

(s) Better Dynamic Snow

(s) Enhanced Blood Textures 3.5d

(s) Deeper Snow (More Snow)

Use BOSS to organise your load order if you don't already. Simple and easy to set up but saves you ALOT of hassle from organizing your load order.

Install order

I purposely highlighted, underscored, and even considered using caps-lock to push the fact that this thread is about install order. This thread is even named "install order". No offence, but everyone and their mother knows about BOSS, so load order problems are nearly a thing of the past...

I don't see/recall ELFX patches for CoT?

 

That said you usually want to install the Unofficial Patches first, because while mods SHOULD forward changes from them, they're probably safer to overwrite than anything else. It probably matters less though if you're not unpacking the bsas with Mod Organizer.

 

That aside, I would install your textures from broadest > narrowest. By that I mean Skyrim HD > Ruins Clutter> Vivid Landscapes then all the smaller rugs, embers, fire etc. ones because you want them to overwrite the more general packs.

Installation order does not matter for Workshop mods, since the Workshop allows only BSAs, not mod with loose files (nevertheless, I'd recommend not allowing the Workshop to manage the un/installation of those mods). As only mods with loose files has a chance of overwriting each other during installation, those are the only mods you need to be concerned of regarding the installation order. If you use the Mod Organizer, then you wouldn't need to worry about installation order at all, since you can adjust the installation order of mods using MO's installation order panel, after the mods have been installed.
