Unrecognized plugin by Boss - load order

[Josaline]

Hi there.

 

I have a house mod I want to use but it is not recognized by Boss. I am learning how to use Tes5Edit and Wrye Bash but for now I need to understand how to either get this mod recognized by Boss or know where player house mods should go in the basic load order. It's dependancy is Skyrim.esm only. Currently it is sitting at the very bottom of Nexus Mod Manager.

 

Willow Creek Cottage is the mod I wish to sort out. I have asked the author and am awaiting a response but thought I may get a faster one here.

 

Thank you.

BOSS uses a masterlist that is maintained by a team of folks founded by the developers of BOSS. IF you want to have BOSS sort it out yourself, you'll need to create a userlist entry for it (that's like your own personal addendum to the masterlist). You can create rules from within BOSS itself, or download the much-easer-to-use Boss Userlist Manager (BUM) here http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/311

 

BUM has categories for the different types of mods, but if you don't want to bother with it, the general wisdom is to place it after the mods you want it to possible overrule and before the ones you want to be sure it doesn't overrule. That way if it does conflict with other mods, you'll have the effects from the ones you most want, and if it doesn't conflict, it's place in the load order won't matter anyway.

I am learning how to use all three programs.BOSS, Wrye Bash and TSS5Edit.As you know this is not done in a day. As it is I have learnt how to use the manual placement of mods with BOSS. I found a general load order list and am not sure if player housing is actually one within these categories.

I started Skyrim again two months ago and learnt that one cannot just mod Skyrim. This is far more complex than Oblivian to mod. I have made enough mistakes to stop modding Skyrim and moved to learning how to mod this game instead.

I currently have a stable game with an ENB loaded and do not wish to make any more mistakes with it.
Everything has a place and every place has a thing. Housing mods have a place in the load order and all I want to know is 'where'.

 

Thanks though for your imput.

Note: I have also informed BOSS team via BOSS that this mod is not recognized.
