Mod Load Order & Question - Can someone help review?

[Dragon32]

Also, if it matters because it seems that a lot of Emma's mods are linked, I also use the Playable Children mod, the Morrowind Family mod, and the Lokken family mod for the White Wolf mod. I also have many of the Emma companion mods.

 

Since I wasn't actually moving mods when I was editing the .ini file directly, I wonder if I just need to move the orphanage mod after all those other Emma based mods? Maybe I could put those mods in the order that MLOX defaults to and just put the orphanage mod at the end of the list. Something like:

 

[Order]

Mod D.esp

Mod H.esp

Mod T.esp

Clean Orphanage.esp

 

That would just tell MLOX to keep the other mods generally in the order it defaulted to, but to make sure the orphanage mod came last after those. Maybe?

 

Thanks!

Yeah, I believe that should work. The errors look Children of Morrowind specific so moving Orphanage after all those CoM-related mods should ensure its changes win out over the others. The way you've said is the way to do it in mlox_user.txt

 

In the future there may be a conflict between the Order rules in mlox_base.txt and mlox_user.txt but mlox prioritises user-created rules over those in mlox_base

 

I think that's a pretty unlikely eventuality though.

Yeah, both the Emma Oufits and Robert Outfits say if you have the COM v2 that you don't need the other mods because the clothes are already there. Unfortunately, in a test game, I checked Caldera, Suran, and Vivec but I couldn't find the clothes. When I added the separate clothes mods, I could find the clothes in Suran and Vivec, but still not in Caldera. Not sure why, but I mentioned it on the Emma forum. I haven't been able to check again in my newest test game yet.

 

Moving the orphanage mod to the end also removed the cdcCompanion warning message too.

 

Thanks!

Should've checked this before posting

 

Looking at the CoM plugin it'd appear the clothes are in Falanaamo's shop in Caldera. They're in two chests. But the ownership of those chests is set to two children in the shop: Lindaline and Nirvaline. So they won't be in the shopkeeper's (Falanaamo) inventory and available for sale. Not sure if the two kids are set-up as merchants (so you can actually buy things off them) so it's possible the only way to get the clothes is to steal them...

 

[Edit: and Robert's clothes at least are just added in Suran in his plugin]

Ah, that is helpful. In Suran and Vivec, there were new teenager NPCs that sell the clothes in the same shop as the regular vendor. I didn't see the kids in Caldera, but then again, I have also noticed that the kid NPCs tend to disappear after a certain time of night. That actually helps because at least one is on a spot that keeps you from sneaking and stealing something early on. I had to wait until night and she disappeared. It is possible that I was in Caldera at night and the kid merchants were gone. Or maybe they are outside the shop. I will have to look around again.

 

Thanks!

So in case it helps anyone who searches for a topic, I believe I have confirmed that the teenage sellers of the kids clothes disappear at night. I found them during the day in Caldera. As I mentioned earlier, moving the orphanage mod to the end of the load order seems to have fixed the warning messages during loading, but now I get a few random idle error messages relating to Emma's NPCs. It only happens when the kids are out during the day. I can just click yes to all and the warnings don't seem to cause any problem in the game.

 

Best of luck to everyone who plays!

 

Thanks!
