Simple nub question from a returning player

[adragon82]

Hello everyone,

 

I bought this game when it first came out, really loved the early mods but stopped playing round about 2 1/2 years ago and now suddenly found myself with an itch to play again...and quickly became overwhelmed with the amount of mods that have came out over the years some of them mind-blowingly large(like the underdark mods). Before I knew it I had downloaded over 50 mods before I even stopped to start installing them and I realized something important.

 

With almost every mod listening a possible conflict or how it might overwrite files from other mods, some harmlessly others not, that there may very well be an order to the TYPE of mods that should be intalled before anything else.

 

So, before installing anything(Will be using OBMM) I want to ask this of those of you who are still around.

 

Should I install certain types of mods before others?

 

Example,

1. Races

2. Body mods like HGEC/Roberts

3. Gameplay Mods like COBL/CSR/Natural Enviorments

4. Quest/Building/Dungeon mods

5. Companion mods

6. Item/armor/weapon/spell mods

 

I was actually thinking of installing gameplay mods and quest type mods FIRST since they seem to be the mods that can royally FUBAR the game the most and doing the races and body mods after but thought it would be best to ask the pros before doing anything.

 

And yes, I understand that each mod my require another mod to be installed before it ;-)

 

Any suggestions would be appreciated as long as it isnt to use Bash...I spent so much time downloading the mods that I actually dont want to have to re-learn how to use it so im going to be lazy and use the nub installer.
