Vortex Load Order Placement for Fallout 4 concerning Scrap Everything Mod

[JoboHotep]

Hi, I read through the "How To Ask For Support", so hopefully I'm asking correctly, and in the correct place!

 

Vortex version: 1.0.0

 

System Specs: I5 7600k, 8GB system Ram, Radeon R9 280x 3GB GPU, Windows 10 build 1903 (fully updated), Fallout 4 and All DLC on Steam (also fully updated).

 

This is my first time using Vortex, I have a clean, new install of Fallout 4 and DLC, and also started a new game (with no mods ran yet) saved directly after exiting Vault 111.

 

I'm using 27 mods (8 are retextures that don't have plugins). I installed Vortex, and my mods, with no problems, and had Vortex sort them.

 

My Load Order looks good (to me, an amateur), with the possible exception of Scrap Everything - Ultimate Edition.ESP.

 

Vortex's Autosort wants to put it before "Better Settlers" (and Better Settlers related files.

 

My concern is, I read on Scrap Everything's Mods page: https://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/5320/? that it seems important for it, and it's related file (BuildingGroundFix.ESP) to be placed last in my Load Order, but I'm not sure how to do that.

 

Is Vortex (and LOOT) correct that it's fine above "Better Settlers"? If not, could someone please explain to me how to move Scrap Everything (and building fix) to the end of the Load Order?

 

Here's my current Load Order:

 

00) Fallout4 ESM

01) DLCRobot ESM

02) DLC Workshop 01 ESM

03) DLCCoast ESM

04) DLC Workshop 02 ESM

05) DLC Workshop 03 ESM

06) DLC NukaWorld ESM

07) Unofficial Fallout 4 patch

08) Homemaker.ESM

09) TrueStormsFO4.ESM

0A) Homemaker-Streetlights Use Passive Power

0B) AzarPonytailHairstyles.ESP

0C) TrueStormsFO4-Earlier Sunsets.ESP

0D) TrueStormsFO4-Far Harbor.ESP

0E) TrueStormsF04-Earlier SunsetsFH.ESP

0F) TrueStormsF04-NukaWorld-FH.ESP

10) Eli Armour Compendium.ESP

11) Vertibird Faction Paint Schemes.ESP

12) CBBE.ESP

13) Cross_EyePatch.ESP

14) CWSS Redux.ESP

15) Horror Posters

1E) Smoke-able Cigars.ESP

1F) BuildingGroundFix.ESP

20) Vivid Fallout - All In One - Best Choice.ESP

21) Scrap Everything - Ultimate Editon.ESP

22) BetterSettlers.ESP

23) BetterSettlersNoLollygagging.ESP

24) BetterSettlersCleanFacesPack.ESP

25) BetterSettlersCCAPack2.0.ESP

26) BetterSettlersMortalSoldiersPack.ESP

 

I read all that I could find about Load Order in Vortex, Scrap Everything seems to have it's own Group (Scrap Everything), so I wasn't certain if I should mess with it's Group setting. I also tried establishing a rule to get Scrap Everything to load after Better Settlers, but got a "Plugins not sorted because of cyclic rules" until I removed the rule.

 

Thank very much in advance for any help and info anyone can give me. This Load Order issue is the only snag I've run into, but didn't want to fire up my game until I was sure I have my Load Order sorted correctly.

 

Also, I'm very sorry if I have given too much information, or have left any crucial info out (if so, just let me know!).

Scrap everything is fine where it is in your load order because the mods that are loading after it don't affect the Buildings and Scrap

 

The reason it's OK being above Better Settlers is, Scrap Everything changes Buildings, Scrap, etc
Better Settlers changes NPCS.

That makes perfect sense, thank you very much for your time, and also explaining to me why it's fine where it is!

 

I honestly thought that might be the case, but I recognize that I'm still very much an amateur (and had not used Vortex before at all), so thought I should definitely ask folks that know more than myself.

 

I'm going to mark my topic as solved, I'm not familiar enough with Nexus's forums to know if that will allow any further replies, but if it does, and anyone feels there's anything more I should know, I'll continue to check the topic for activity.

 

Thanks again for the help, it's much appreciated!

That's good to hear, and you seem to be off to a good start, and your intuition about Scrap Everything (for a self-proclaimed Amateur) was spot on!

Well done, and I have a feeling you're going to pick up all of this modding stuff quite easily.
