Load Order

Recommended Posts

Hi there! I'm new to Fallout 4 and new to modding, after following the instructions I installed the following mods:

 

Most things seem to be working just fine, although the "remove helmet" during dialog is a hit or miss sometimes. I wonder if it's the load order so I want to see if any of you modding vets can see anything obviously wrong I may be missing. Oh and I haven't seen a ton of "better settlers" but then again I may not be far enough in the game to have that many yet.

 

I am on windows 10 64 and run F4SE as admin when I launch the game.

 

Thanks in advance!

A good load order tip, is to sort it in groups, in this order:

1. ESMs

2. Bugfixes (incl. Unofficial fallout patch)

3. Settlement mods

4. Gameplay affecting mods (carry weight mods, etc)

5. Weather mods

6. Visual mods (terrain, grass, water etc)

7. Radio & quest mods

8. Looksmenu

9. Character customization mods

10. NPC mods (better settlers, etc)

11. Sorting mods (VIS, etc)

12. Item mods (chems, etc)

13. Animation mods

14. CBBE (if you want to use it)

15. Unique player (Unique companions, if you use it)

16. Custom player housing

17. Faction mods

18. Crafting workbenches

19. Equipment crafting

20. Armorsmith Extended

21. Armor and clothing mods

22. Weapons

23. Companions

^^^What he said. The general idea is to have all your "big" mods first. Fixes and overhauls....and then have the smaller mods that tweak, fine-tune, or add small things come later. Reason being is this:

 

 

Say you have 2 texture mods. One is an overhaul that touches everything, and the other is a Sanctuary Bridge retexture. If you install the Sanctuary Bridge retex first, then the overhaul...the overhaul is going to overwrite it. If you flip it, then you have the overhaul retexing everything you want, but then you can have the specific bridge retex you want overwriting the overhaul.

 

 

Of course, if you understand file structure and extracting/repacking...you can always splice multiple mods together to create mash up to your liking. I do this quite often.

I'm also having an issue with the order of my mod list I've got 83 mods installed and I've tried to put them in the right order but I'm still having some issue's with spring cleaning not always letting me scraping everything every time. http://prntscr.com/lfy1ot,http://prntscr.com/lfy24b. Can someone please look at the order I've got these in and tell me what/if any change's I need to make to it.
