GeeTW Posted September 28, 2018 Share Posted September 28, 2018 (edited) Hello, As I understand it the load order for skyrim is essential to avoid crashes. Looking at my load order atm it's; skyrim.esmupdate.esmthe 3 DLCunofficial skyrim legendary edition patchskyUI.esp I think the unofficial skyrim legendary edition patch has to be above the 3 DLC's but I cannot alter the load order because the green arrow is greyed out. I also cannot move the DLC's below the patch. 2nd question. In LOOT, there are messages stating TES5Edit is requesting me to clean files, how would I go about that? Could anyone offer any advice concerning my issues? Thankyou, GeeTW Edited September 28, 2018 by GeeTW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thumbincubation Posted September 28, 2018 Share Posted September 28, 2018 As far as I know, you're correct as you have it. Skyrim first, then update, then the 3 DLCs in order of release (Dawnguard, HearthFires, Dragonborn) then the Unofficial patch, then others. If you go to the unofficial patch page, there should be something about that in the load ordering instructions, there, which may help you. The LOOT warnings are probably telling you to clean your master files, Update, Dawnguard, HearthFires, and Dragonborn. (Don't clean Skyrim itself.) There is a running debate over whether this step is necessary, but I always do it and I think it helps considerably, once you start using mods. If you are planning to make mods, it's definitely recommended to start with clean masters. You will also need to do this again, every time you validate files or if there is an update, like with Special Edition. Here is a thread, with a masters cleaning guide. Remember Dawnguard needs to be cleaned twice automatically, and a third time manually. https://forums.nexusmods.com/index.php?/topic/2667094-guide-manual-cleaning-skyrim-master-files/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeeTW Posted September 28, 2018 Author Share Posted September 28, 2018 I'll check the masters cleaning guide, ty for the information. I went to the unofficial page https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/71214 It was where I started from. I cannot change the load order though.

Make sure your load order is right!Skyrim.esmUpdate.esmDawnguard.esmHearthfires.esmDragonborn.esmUSLEEP[Other ESMs]Official hi-res DLCUHRP[Other ESPs] This is from the USLEEP page you linked. It goes below the DLCs not above them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GeeTW Posted October 1, 2018 Author Share Posted October 1, 2018 It's perfect. I followed the instructions to the letter and no problems. Not played this game for about 6 years (about 300 hours) but have forgotten most of that. It's daunting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
