Lanterns of Skyrim & Load Order

[CorneliusC]

hello

i'm in the last leg of installing the LE guide, and LOOT places the lanterns of skyrim esm after hearthfires esm and before dragonborn esm and the unofficial skyrim legendary edition patch. that doesn't seem to be right at all?

LOOT also suggests a third party dawnguard patch.

any suggestions? should i create a LOOT rule for the placement of lanterns esm?

thanks in advance

That seems wrong to me. I haven't run LE for years though, so it may be fine. They are all ESM.

If you are using the Sort button in Mod Organizer, install and run the latest version of LOOT to see if it sorts correctly. I agree this is very strange. I've never  seen LOOT sort plugins between the vanilla masters before.

Just to cover all bases, you're using this as the argument to LOOT right?

--game="Skyrim"

 

[CorneliusC]

thank you both

Greg, yes, the argument was missing, i remember adding it, but seem to have missed to 'apply' it. new sorting with the added argument didn't change the load order though. i am attaching my current load order. i am now just before step 5 in the guide (LOD) and skyrim loads fine with a new game into the alternate start cell

thank you for any further comments you have on this

Addendum:

In the current LOOT (0.18.3) masterlist there is a 'load after Lanterns Of Skyrim - All In One - Main.esm' rule for the Unofficial Skyrim Legendary Edition Patch, which seems to explain the odd placement of both plugins

Still unsure how to proceed, given the other oddities in my load order

What are the other oddities in your load order and what is bothering you exactly?

If Dragonborn.esm is not a master of LoS and if there are no conflicts between them (likely if LoS doesn't cover Solstheim), then they can go in any order relative to each other.

There must be very good reasons for LOOT to sort LoS before USLEEP. Hypothesis: LoS would otherwise overwrite USLEEP and forward bad vanilla bugs that are fixed by USLEEP. There are no 3rd-party bugfix or USLEEP-compatibility patches available for LoS because it's no longer supported and it has closed permissions. So the only option is to load USLEEP after LoS.

Thank you for the comment, Mousetick

The feeling of 'odd' comes from comparing this latest installation to me last installing Skyrim & STEP five years ago

Now i followed LOOT's suggestions, except for cleaning 'Guard Dialogue Overhaul' and 'Complete Crafting Overhaul'. Last night i generated all LOD, started a new game, which seemed to start out fine from 'Alternate Start' into the wilderness, aside from a strange audio bug when outside, like feet continuously moving in place, which didn't relate to my own movement. Still need to check MCM settings and all my surroundings also
