You need a mod organizer. Get BOSS here: http://boss-developers.github.io/

Good luck

I was using LOOT. Is BOSS better?

[BlackRampage]

Well, let's put it this way: If you used LOOT to "sort" your plugins before you created this topic, then I'd definitely recommend getting BOSS instead. Your current "load order" is more of a of mess then an actual load order.

 

As a side note: I personally think downloading mods just like that, hope for the best and request the help of others instead of taking it easy and learning by doing yourself is... not the best of ways to start.

Why rely on others to throw you some floaties when you can learn to swim yourself?

[thereverend212]

I did, actually. I've been systematically deactivating mods to locate the issue and when I had none left the base game wouldn't work. So, I'm starting from scratch and going slow. I got a little carried away the first time. Also, I didn't mean ti imply that I had not done any work yet. Asking for you folk to throw some floaties was my way of saying, "I've been in the pool for a few hours and my lungs are filling with water.... help?" Obviously hours meaning days. Sorry to sound like I was saying, "Here's my mods... fix it for me."

Ok if your new to modding and such start with this series of videos it will give a basic know how of modding

 

[thereverend212]

Followed that. My goof was doing a bunch of mods afterward. Gimme some time. I'm trying something.

[thereverend212]

Got it. Not sure what I did to fix but all it working. Matter closed.
