beginner looking for help in the case of load order

[Thkri]

First let me apologize in case I started a new topic in the wrong forum category. Let me know and if it is the case , i will ask a moderator to move it.

As for my problem, I recently started using NMM and downloaded quite a few mods. The load order seems fine, but a second opinion from someone with more experience would be very much appreciated. The load sequence as set at the moment :

 

Skyrim.esm

Dawnguard.esm

Update.esm

SPIKE.esm

JSwords.esm

HighRes TexturePack01.esp

HighRes TexturePack02.esp

SkyUI.esp

WATER.esp

Realistic Lighting.esp

Realistic Lighting - Dawnguard Patch.esp

DeadlyDragons.esp

dD - Realistic Ragdoll Force - Realistic.esp

Sky TEST-RealisticAnimals&Predators.esp

hothtrooper44_ArmorCompilation.esp

Birdsofskyrim.esp

UnblockActivateNoWereNoMap.esp

Predator.esp

Headtracking.esp

EnhancedLightsandFX.esp

Footprints.esp

WetandCold.esp

DeadlySpellImpacts.esp

JswordsDistributionBalancePlugin.esp

 

Please let me know if something is out of the norm and/or needs changing.

1) You should use BOSS to sort your load order (and check out the BOSS log to see if any mods need to be cleaned). For example, Jaysus sword was made using pre-CK tools, and you will need to download a patch for it (made by someone else) so it will work nicely with the latest version of Skyrim (the BOSS log will tell you what the name of the patch is so you can find it on the Nexus).

 

2) You are using a couple of 'add more stuff to NPCs' mods (Immersive Armor, Jaysus sword NPC distribution plugin). You'll need to use Wrye Bash to generate a Bashed Patch to merge the conflicting leveled list edits.

 

3) This is a modest mod list. If you keep it this small, your should have a very stable game. Except one thing....

 

....if you find you are CTDing outdoors a lot, then uninstall SkyTest. If not, then keep it.
