Thank you so much. I think its the first time ive had a fallout 4 moded experience without crashing to desktop every 30 minutes!Started two days ago ( from nexus) have 15 hours played and all goes really well ( even with the 187 plugins installed, going against your advice here;) ) and added just a small mod to hack terminals)Instructions were clear, just skipped the 2 nvidia steps ( ATI here ).
My only question is regarding loot. What is the best way to just order esm's and leve the esp alone. Wasnt able to find any info online about this and would like to add a mod or two aditionaly!great work and thanks again! Well, i don't think you need to load order that much, everything is working like it should. Tough many people like to have ESM files at the beginning of load order.What i suggest you is to use LOOT if ever you wanna order properly.
So that all the ESM plugins get ordered at the best.LOOT anyway, is really a mess on huge modlists, like this one, so i never suggest to leave completely the automatic order from LOOT.So you should sort everything with LOOT, then close and open again Nexus mod manager if you have it opened during LOOT sorting. This way on the plugins tab, on the left side of nexus mod manager window, you have all the plugins ordered as LOOT said.Leaving the ESM plugins you should manually order all plugins you see as my modlist. So there's a plugin from a mod?
I put it in that exact same order as shown.It will take a bit, you can even not use loot and manually set ESM plugins only at the beginning of the load order. So you just select the esm you have to order and you bring him up at the bottom of the esms you see at the beginning.
