NPC bodies? & installation order vs load order?

[ImNotCrazy44]

Ok, I just have two quick questions.

Do body mods like eyecandy and roberts mod only the player character, or do they mod everyone in the world?

 

Does it matter what order I install mods in? I use all OMOD's. I want to make sure that installation order does not matter and only load order does.

 

Thanks in advance! :D

Most body mods (like eyecandy) mod all characters in the world.

 

Install order also matters (next to load order). It matters for situations where existing data files (like body textures and such) are replaced. The last one installed wins in that case (even if it is first in the load order).

Thank you kindly :D

 

Edit: I was just thinking...how do I know what order to install my mods in? I can't check with BOSS because they need to be installed for that, correct?

Well that depends. If there are no conflicts on data files (something you can easily check with BAIN/Wrye Bash) then it doesn't matter much. If there are conflicts then you need to install them in the order so that the last one gets priority. For example if you have two mods that modify the same armor (and also both do other things) then you must install the mod which armor modifications you prefer last.

 

Hope that helps.
