Heliadhel Posted September 21, 2014 Share Posted September 21, 2014 (edited) Having just finished learning the ropes with successful installs of both Step:Core and Step:Extended from a clean vanilla install (HUGE thanks to the STEP team -amazing instructions) Ive come to rather like LooT. Ive turned my ever greedy eye to SR:LE and was just rubbing my OCD hands at getting to do more modding and more not-actually-playing-Skyrim and noticed that in all of the SR:LE instructions there is no mention of LooT. Is it ill advised to use loot rather than boss? or is it actually impossible to use Loot in SR:LE I understand loot and am happy reordering mods with meta rules etc. Can i not just interpret Neo's instructions and use loot and meta rules rather than boss and BUM? Thank you to ANYONE who sees this plea and responds Matt Edited September 21, 2014 by Heliadhel Link to comment
Neovalen Posted September 21, 2014 Share Posted September 21, 2014 SR:LE is not set up for LOOT (as I personally don't care for it) and I am unaware of anyone who has come up with meta rules for it. Link to comment
TechAngel85 Posted September 21, 2014 Share Posted September 21, 2014 In STEP, we've added our own Meta Rules which are found on the mod pages where they are needed for those mods. There isn't a "repository" of rules or anything like that for LOOT as of yet. Just like when using BUM, users will need to create there own meta rules for LOOT to load mods in a specific order when necessary. In other words, Neo or another user that uses SR:LE would have to investigate the load order that LOOT provides for SR:LE, compare that to the load order of BOSS to make sure conflicts are resolved correctly, and then come up with the rules that are required specifically for SR:LE to achieve the correct load order for any mods not ordered properly...just as we did for STEP. This can be a big task when switching from BOSS to LOOT. Link to comment
Heliadhel Posted September 21, 2014 Author Share Posted September 21, 2014 Well, Im not going to get a straighter answer than from the creator of SR:LE and Techangel for whom I have a load of respect from reading his millions of answers to folks querying STEP process. I guess I need to learn to use BOSS and BUM then too lol. Cheers for the answers guys Matt Link to comment
phazer11 Posted September 22, 2014 Share Posted September 22, 2014 I'm currently using LOOT for an SR:LE + REGS (with PERkus MAximus) playthrough using STEP meta rules, REGS LOOT recommendations (when they're there) and treating some of SR:LE's BOSS userlist changes and converting them to LOOT rules where applicable i.e. any of the userlist rules specifically stating to load one mod after another. What I did (before customizing to my tastes with further mods and taking some out) was make a profile and follow SR:LE. Then I made another profile and followed REGS. Then I reopened the SR:LE profile copied it and opened the copy placing REGS right after SR:LE and then I double checked the guides as well as the SR:LE +REGS compatibility guide and Nearox's Medium System guide. Oh and don't forget the compatibility patches, LOOT solves a lot of conflicts but it's not perfect and sometimes you want a mod to overwrite one mods changes even if it's loaded before another mod.

Heliadhel Posted September 22, 2014 Author Share Posted September 22, 2014 Yikes. Just reading your response made me sweat. I'll learn to use bums and boss that way I can get support if things go wrong. You obviously know what you are doing where as I only just built step core and extended so my conflict-fu is weak.

Just my $0.02This is sort of what I did. Started out with a Step Extended install, with the LOOT rules listed there. Then added in some mods from the weather pack, survival pack, and the full install of regs. Added in LOOT rules when listed from those packs. I then added in some mods from SR:LE that looked good to me. This process is easy. I can see potential issues for the SR:LE mods. Hopefully LOOT sorts them correctly, but I'm not at the level in TES5Edit where I would know. Edited September 22, 2014 by bern43 Link to comment

Nearox Posted September 22, 2014 Share Posted September 22, 2014 an SR:LE + REGS (with PERkus MAximus) playthrough Hey phazer, have you managed to get PaMa to work? It seems I (and neither Neo) can get the SkyProc patcher to finish when launched from MO... Link to comment
phazer11 Posted September 23, 2014 Share Posted September 23, 2014 Yeah I have. It needs more RAM. One of you make a thread in the authors forum. Link to comment
