Taking a break from Lux conflicts. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

On Load Order<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Learned that BSAs only load if the mod has a plugin<\/strong> (.esp\/.esm\/.esl<\/code>), unless using bsa_redirection<\/code> (still need to research that).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Load Order Summary:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
    \n
  • BSAs (packed files)<\/strong> load based on plugin order (right pane).<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Loose files<\/strong> from the left pane always<\/em> override BSAs \u2014 regardless of plugin order.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

    So:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \n
    1. MO2 loads BSAs (based on plugin order).<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    2. Then loose files from enabled mods (based on left pane order) override any duplicates.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n


      General Updates<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

      LOOT Grouping<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        \n
      • Unsure where to categorize new Fluffworks patches, so I:\n
          \n
        • Created a temporary LOOT group: \u201cPatches \u2013 Fluffworks\u201d<\/strong> (placed after Late Loaders).<\/li>\n\n\n\n
        • Added Fluffworks \u2013 CC Wild Horse Patch<\/em> to this group.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
        • Added Fluffworks <\/em>plugin itself to the “Late Loaders<\/strong>” group.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n
        • Noticed both MM \u2013 Real Skeevers<\/em> and its Fluffworks patch don\u2019t have plugins<\/strong>, so LOOT grouping has no effect on them\u2014they follow left pane order<\/strong> in MO2.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
