Install BAIN Package List

[AlKira]

Hello,

 

I explain my problem: I have installed FCOM recently without any other mods (only the basic FCOM install for testing). As I have about 570 mods in BAIN format (don't tell me the time to get it proper, it was like hell punishment :wallbash: ), some of them have prior install obligation of course.

 

What is the proper way to install the other mods that need to be installed before the FCOM ones and avoid any load install issue?

 

Thank you for your help.

 

Regards.

The best way to sort your load order is with BOSS, then rebuild your Bashed Patch, lastly run TES4LODGen especially if you have mods that alter Tamriel worldspace.

Hello Hickory,

 

I know the procedure to sort the load order...My problem concerns the installation of mods (not the order of plugins in the mods tab of Wrye Bash but the installation of mods in the installer tab that is different). I'm not sure to be clear on my issue :confused:

 

Thanks for replying Hickory.

The installation order in BAIN works the exact same as a Load Order, the last package "wins", or overwrites previous packages. So if you want Mod A to overwrite Mod B you would install Mod A below Mod B. Example below.

 

1)Mod A

2)Mod B

3)Mod C

 

With the above order if any files are shared, or conflict, the ones in Mod C "win".

 

1)Mod B

2)Mod A

3)Mod C

 

Again Mod C wins overall but this time A wins over B but loses to C.

 

1)Mod B

2)Mod C

3)Mod A

 

This example, Mod A wins overall and C over B.

 

That's the basic concept of BAIN and an Installation Order. Installation Order works exactly the same as Load Order, the last one wins. If you've already installed mods and need to shuffle them around you can do that too. Then just use the Anneal function to correct any underrides/overrides.

 

You really should read the Wrye Bash Pictorial Guide for Newbies, as the basics of this is covered, and then some.

I already know parts of your comments but got what you said about Anneal function to correct underrides/overrides.

I have an example to deal with:

- I checked Fine weapons Fran patch without installing the original mod (ie Fine weapons) and I missed some meshes (of course) and this mod is to be installed before the Fran patch. Therefore the proper way to fix it is to install the Fine weapons mod and use the Anneal function (I don't touch the patch), am I right?
