STEP Core Mod Order

[0cu87]

Hey guys,

 

I have completed my 2.2.7 Core setup yesterday and the game is working fine, I am testing it a bit with a current character.

I got a question though. If I have installed all core mods in the order like in the guide, are they working like intended? I am using Mod Organizer and I don't get this whole "Overwrite" thing. Also, I have installed the Base Requiem and Immersive Survival Packs and don't know how to sort these in. I ran BOSS, does it even change anything in the Mod order in MO?

 

Thanks for your help!

I don't think packs are supported yet as of current release 2.2.7 so you have to use your own knowledge or mod developer instructions as to where to put these... From my own experience I've noted that they go kind of nicely at the end of a STEP:Core install in the order the pack author has them ordered - but I haven't looked very much into it.

 

Plugin (.esp/.esm) order and mod order (files) are two different things in MO. BOSS only help you sort your .esp plugin list. The mod order list is a list of priorities of what files you wish Skyrim and its plugins to have available at runtime. If installed as per all detailed instructions and heeding mod author instructions, including PATCHES (note there is a STEP patch at the very top for 2.2.7). Your game is setup to be potentially stable. I say potentially because it all comes down to your computer after this :)

 

*Working as intended* has to be taken with a grain of salt when we got the amount of mods as STEP suggests. A mod that change/replace the same resource at the top of the MO modlist will have some of its resources overwritten by other files later on in the list. MO is nice enough to tell us when this happens (many praises to the author of that project) but things get overwritten along the way, so some mods have textures and meshes you will never see as intended *by the mod author*, but rather as intended *by the STEP council*.

 

There is a lot of much smarter people on this forum that can help you better but I hope my ramblings can make at least something more clear.

I did the STEP Core setup first and have tested whether my game runs stable or not. I installed the Packs afterwards.

 

What I am basically looking for is a Screenshot or list of the MO priorites for the Core setup. The packs should be pretty straightforward for me, because Requiem always needs to load last anyway due to its changes. I have handled Requiem in different setups before.
