Okay, I need help with this one. This is pretty much my mod install order list from last time, with a few things installed in new locations where they make sense due to their FOMod's patching options. This is not reflective of LOOT order!! This is an INSTALL order only. Not asking anyone to error check things or do anything super-intensive, just a quick glance-over to see if everything is in the right order for installing. Changelog is at the bottom in the spoiler tags as I will be revising this periodically until I'm satisfied with it.

 

I tried to group them where it made sense and where they would/should be overwritten. This is going to be my masterlist of mods, so I figure, if I can get these mods in a proper install order, I can just reinstall in the same order over and over. This isn't all that many mods, but this would give me a good base to start playing with the CK with to start learning.

I'm using NMM 0.63.17, the final version of NMM ever.

Any help or feedback would be very sincerely and greatly appreciated. Thank you ahead of time.

Again, any help anyone can provide, even if its just to look it over and say looks good, or install this here first, then you're good, I would greatly appreciate it. Thank you again in advance.

Psh, once we get your computer built, we'll put together a master list of mods for you, too. I just need to check to make sure the mods are in proper install order so that the FOMods (a UI that pops up when you install mods to allow you to select certain options) patch properly. lol Nothing like thinking your almost done, and then install a mod to find out the FOMod has an option that you should have patched earlier, and with NMM and the way it handles conflict priority based on install order, it could mean having to uninstall a lot of mods to install a single one in the correct order.

MO (Mod Organizer) allows for that type of load order "hot-swapping" to assign priority to mod conflicts/overwrites, but NMM, you have to uninstall/reinstall--it's one of it's biggest weaknesses over MO, and the biggest source complaints which is why you'll see people bitching to Tannin about "Is the new Vortex going to have le Virtual Filing System like MO? Ermergerd! You better do that there or...I'm gonna...put yer hand in yer mouth and...yer gonna...lollygag...!" ...devolves into sputtering, incomprehensible mutters with an inexplicable southern drawl, punctuated with hat-stomping.

lol Hence, this list. Once I have the order-of-operation down for the most part, it will be something I can refer back to over and over, and just go right down the list and reinstall. With NMM, I have to make sure it's in the right order, though.

Keep reading, my dear. You'll see soon enough how it is and the secret agony of modders when they bork their data folder and have to reinstall fresh...lol

EDIT: I moved the Bruma Patch for VIS below VIS as I think this is the correct order for that since the VIS mod has to be present for the patch to overwrite, if I'm not mistaken.

I know this topic seems dead, mostly because I think it was solved. But it was my hope that I could get someone to look over my Install Order as well and see if I have to move things around. Everything seems to work for most of the time, but I get CTDs or complete computer freezes. The only way out with the freeze is to sign out of windows and then back in. Any help would be lovely.

Post it in spoilers.

Also, run Loot. Then, check Loot's accuracy by running WryeBash (yes, this is how it works, judging from this being your first post...congrats, by the way!). Look for orange boxes. Those are mods who depend on other mods in a certain order. Not a big deal--means the author was lazy when they made the mod. In FO4Edit (yes, you'll need this, too--are you writing this down?? There'll be a quiz later...) you will uncheck all when it opens, and then load ONLY the mod whose box is orange in wryebash (leave that open). Right click, sort the masters (when it's done loading and pushing for donations), save, and close. Click on the wryebash window and the orange box turns green magically. LOOT is pretty reliable, so leave it do it's thing, but always read each mod's description before installing, especially if it's script-heavy, like War of the Commonwealth.

As for you needing to sign out, that is generally a not a good sign to be crashing that hard. You're either memory-starved, or you have hardware failure. I have a similar issue on occasion with it, but my memory cards are shite. G.Skill sucks harder than black hole. Should have went to corsair. I run 2x8MB, but I have an MSI 980Ti with 6GB of vRAM to back me up, so I get by.
