Skyrim - Loading Order Conflits and LOOT

[kornest]

Hi folks,

 

Been a long time since the last time that I played Skyrim.

 

Now I back for another playthrough, and this time I wanted to try some mods.

 

I read about the matter and downloaded a few, installed LOOT to arrange my Load Order, but I doesnt seem to make some mods like Climates of Tamriel work properly.

 

Can you guys help me with this Load Order and explain how do you use LOOT efficiently?

 

Here's my Load Order made by LOOT btw:

Update.esm

Dawnguard.esm

HearthFires.esm

Dragonborn.esm

Unofficial Skyrim Legendary Edition Patch.esp

Hi, there! So I will say this, try to follow this scheme for mods:

 

1. ) Patches and bug fixes
2. ) Big mods and overhauls that affect the entire game
3. ) Quest mods (big or small)
4. ) Environments/weather Overhauls
5. ) Large add-ons that add cities/towns/land masses
6. ) Adds buildings to current cities/towns
7. ) Plants and foliage mods for the entire game
8. ) Gameplay changes/tweaks/add-ons such as combat/magic/perks/etc
9. ) Changes/add-ons to NPCs
10. ) Visual/textural/atmospheric changes
11. ) Sound/audio/FX alterations
12. ) Sorting, menu, and player & NPC inventory
13. ) Cheat items
14. ) Character model replacements
15. ) Weapons/armor/clothing add-ons/additions
16. ) Crafting related mods
17. ) Misc. items, as well as small scale foliage
18. ) Weapon/armor/clothing alterations
19. ) Specific mods that need to be loaded at the bottom as directed by the mod author
20. ) Mods that remove graphical effects, like disabling godrays, to improve performance - this goes last to ensure that all mod added effects get disabled too.

 

 

This is a rough guide and all other inquiries should be searched out on mod pages. Truly you should try not to use LOOT for sorting I find as it messes up my load order more than it helps.

Also, be sure to use spoiler tags when posting your load order, it makes your posts more manageable.

 

ALSO I personally use Vivid weathers over COT. Check it out and see if it might be a better fix.

Hi Raults,

 

Thanks for the help.

 

I truly believe from previews experiences that LOOT doesn't sort the mods as well as people say it does. Maybe I'm doing something wrong, I dunno...

 

I use CoT mostly because of the Dark nights and Dungeons plugin, as it gives the real dark lightning that I'm looking for.

 

Still I don't like the fact that with that plugin, the torchs and light sources don't give enough light as they should give, and breaks the immersion
