Meta Rule Instructions[edit | edit source]
LOOT allows the user to create rules to solve load order problems not automatically resolved in the LOOT algorithm. A rule is necessary when one plugin is conflicting with another plugin, causing incompatibility that need not be present.
Creating meta rules[edit | edit source]
To create a LOOT meta rule:
- Launch LOOT through Mod Organizer.
- Find the plugin requiring lower loading (when a plugin is loaded after another plugin, it wins the conflict). If following a rule from the Meta Rule Instructions template, this will be the first plugin displayed.
- All the way to the right of the plugin, click the vertical ellipsis drop-down button (the one with three periods on top of each other) and select Edit Metadata.
- Click LOAD AFTER.
- Click Add New Row.
- Under Filename and Display Name, type the name of the plugin.
- Click the Save button at top right corner of the box to save the meta rule.
- Click the Sort Plugins button at top left to resort your plugins with your new meta rule applied.
Changing group[edit | edit source]
To change a LOOT priority rule:
- Launch LOOT through Mod Organizer.
- Select the plugin requiring a new priority.
- Find the plugin requiring a new priority. If following a rule from the Meta Rule Instructions template, this will be the first plugin displayed.
- All the way to the right of the plugin, click the vertical ellipsis drop-down button (the one with three periods on top of each other) and select Edit Metadata.
- Click MAIN.
- Select the group the mod should be loaded in.
- Click the Save button at top right corner of the box to save the meta rule.
- Click the Sort Plugins button at top left to resort your plugins with your new meta rule applied.
Removing meta rules[edit | edit source]
To remove a LOOT meta rule:
- Launch LOOT through Mod Organizer.
- Find the plugin requiring lower loading (when a plugin is loaded after another plugin, it wins the conflict). If following a rule from the Meta Rule Instructions template, this will be the first plugin displayed.
- All the way to the right of the plugin, click the vertical ellipsis drop-down button (the one with three periods on top of each other) and select Clear User Metadata.
- Click LOAD AFTER.
- Click Clear.
- Click the Sort Plugins button at top left to resort the plugins with the changes applied.
