Royhr Posted June 12, 2016 Share Posted June 12, 2016 Do you mean how do you change the load order how does the load order get changed? As you install mods most will generally load at the bottom of your load order (or last if you prefer). If you are using NMM then look at the plugins screen, not the mod screen. Exception will of course be if the mod has an esm then it will generally get added as the last esm in your load order which will be above any esp. As far as changing your load order. Well you can do it manually. In NMM in the plugin screen just select a plugin and move it up or down. You just need to be sure to read any instructions by the mod author as far as where best to have the mod. Some mods that are dependent on another mod will generally have to be loaded after that mod. Also if you are a bit concerned about messing with a load order then you can always use LOOT to help you though it isn't always a sure fire resolution to mod issues. But it works pretty good for the most part. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cossayos Posted June 12, 2016 Share Posted June 12, 2016 I'm a little curious about that myself. In previous Fallout games or Skyrim for that matter, modders often pointed out the load order. With FO4 they don't. So I assume, letting LOOT do the job should work out. At least if there aren't any other pointers to the correct order.

Royhr Posted June 12, 2016 Share Posted June 12, 2016 Well yes LOOT is an option but in reality the best option is and probably always will be doing it manually yourself. It just takes a little bit of understanding, practice and sometimes trial and error. As far as mod makers not pointing out or mentioning load order as much I suspect that maybe many newer mod makers just don't bother like was more common practice in earlier games. Again I'm just guessing.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Again I'm just guessing.... Yeah, but having loaded mods and doing some moderate modding myself since Morrowind, the only real pointer is esm comes before esp. Other than that it's anyone's guess.
