No seriously, how do I fix the damn load order?

[TenShadows]

Whatever I do, with Wrye Mash or anything else, the load order always seems to default to dates added: the oldest mods get loaded first, the newest last.

 

I'm pretty sure it's not supposed to be like this, and it's probably causing all manner of trouble, but I can't find anywhere how to actually fix it: there's no easy-to-use program like BOSS for Morrowind, I have no idea what "Lock Times" means, and half of the mods aren't working and never did.

 

I just want someone to explain this to me. Please.

I am also having a similar problem. I keep getting a CTD after starting a new game. I cannot figure out what the load order is supposed to be. Getting help for Morrowind is like trying to find a four leaf clover these days. See how many 0 reply threads are in the troubleshooting section? I am quite frustrated.

Little late in replying here :smile: Whilst there isn't a BOSS masterlist for Morrowind, well there is one on Nexus but it's only got about 20 mods in it and I wouldn't recommend it because, there's mlox.

 

I've been maintaining the rule-base for a while now and whilst it's not as complete in its coverage of Morrowind mods as BOSS is for Oblivion for those mods it does cover it offers you a lot more assistance.

 

As well as sorting out your load order you'll get advice on conflicts detailed by the mod author in their readmes (who reads those?) as well as reported by the community (admittedly primarily that bit of the community that hangs out at the official Bethsoft forums as that's where I spend most of my time) and info on patches which could make the mods you're running work better together.

 

Check it out.

 

BTW, I've been maintaining the rule-base for years and only realised recently that mlox stands for Morrowind Load Order eXpert. Useless fact.
