LOOT

• TOOL

Run LOOT one final time before continuing.
Prior to running LOOT again (installing new mods, removing mods, making changes to load order, etc.), disable everything below this warning first.
Once done, re-enable each mod one at a time. Ensure that each one is not missing a master and/or consider any other changes and how they may affect the patches below (particularly the Dynamic Patches).
If in doubt, rebuild the patch(es).

SSEEdit

• TOOL

LOOT may have identified mods that need their masters sorted (Prvtl_HeavyArmory.esp and SL01AmuletsSkyrim.esp for example).
To do this, run SSEEdit through MO2 with the full load order selected.
Find any plugins identified as needing to have their masters sorted by LOOT in the left pane.
For each, [Right-Click] and select [Sort Masters (to match current load order)].
Exit xEdit, saving the plugins.

WARNING

Do not use LOOT past this point. If updating and LOOT is needed, deactivate mods below, run LOOT, then reactivate in the order provided.

STARTUP

Part A: Starting New Game

---

It is finally time. Start a new game and create your character (Race, Gender, and Appearance). Once done, it will take a few minutes for all of the mods to register and the game to setup. Stay in the startup cell and monitor the notifications to ensure nothing unusual occurs (something not found, something did not load properly, errors, etc.) As these notifications run, several mods will have windows that pop-up and await input (may appear in a different order, but mine show as follows):

Installed Pay Your Dues: Select [OK]
Dealing with Daedra: Your choice to [Enable] or [Disable]

Several mods will complete a startup Quest as well, such as:

Welcome to Falskaar
A Bounty For Hunters
Helgen Reborn
Adds Items Via Script

Part B: MCM Setup

---

Once the notification menu in the upper left corner is quiet, run the MCM Recorder:

1) Navigate to the Mod Configuration Menu (MCM Menu).
2) Locate and select [MCM Recorder].
3) Select [SkyRem_9_0_0] and follow the prompts to exit the MCM.
4) Select [Run Recording] and allow MCM Recorder to set up the majority of MCMs.

This handles all the MCMs not listed below, which need to be configured manually. Wait until MCM Recorder has completed, then move on to setting up the final MCMs.

Use the Set Attributes power to assign your attributes (which can then be viewed in the Attribute Values MCM.

CLOSING THOUGHTS

Play

I hope you have enjoyed the journey as you are now ready to begin a new one - playing. The tricky part is turning off the "modding switch" and immerse yourself in the game. It is easy to get caught up in the cycle of mod, test, update, add mod, remove mod, test, update, etc. without ever being able to complete a game. If you are here... do not look for updates or more mods. Play. I have began taking notes as I play for things I would like to add/remove/change, and focus on that the next go round. Otherwise it would be never ending.

Endorse

Do not forget to endorse the mods. This is greatly appreciated by most mod authors. Modding is a labor of love, with the greatest return being knowing that others enjoy what has been put out there. Endorse, endorse, endorse.
