That's basically what load order is, the piece of white paper is Fallout3.esm and the rock is YourPlugin.esp, you've got to adjust the load order so you see all your objects. Let's say you use a mod that gives Moira Brown of Megaton a blue hat, then you have Fallout3.esm which basically creates Moira and gives her a brown hat, if you load the. Cast wysiwyg r35 cracked.

I'm trying to get some mods, mostly bugfixing but also a weather mod but i have no idea how to change load order. In my data files there is no way to move the files so that one loads before the other.
Vortex gives you the ability to create rules that determine when a specific plugin loads in relation to another.
How to program comcast remote to proscan tv. Looking at this example load order for Skyrim, let's assume that we wanted to change it so that the three mods My Mod A, My Mod B, and My Mod C load before both Example Mod 1 and Example Mod 2.
There are two ways to accomplish this: using several, individual plugin specific rules, or one group rule. In this document we will go over both options and how to set up the rules accordingly.
Setting individual rules (per plugin)
One way of achieving our goal of having My Mod A, My Mod B, and My Mod C load before Example Mod 1 and Example Mod 2 would be to set a total of six individual (or per plugin) rules. To do so click 'Manage Rules' in the plugins toolbar to bring up the 'Set Rules' dialogue.
- Now, from the 'Select Plugin..' drop-down, select Example Mod 1.esp.
- Click on the drop-down in the middle to select the 'Must Load After' rule.
- In the rightmost drop-down, select My mod A.esp and add the newly set rule by clicking on 'Add'.
Next, change the selected plugin on the right to My Mod B.esp and add that rule as well before doing the same for My Mod C.esp.
Repeat the same steps for Example Mod 2.esp (on the left). If you did this correctly you should end up with six rules like these:
Close the rule setting dialogue (bottom right button) and sort your plugin list by clicking the 'Sort now' button in the toolbar.
This will sort your plugin list according to the six rules we just set, leaving us with My Mod A, My Mod B, and My Mod C loading before both Example Mod 1 and Example Mod 2, as we had intended. However, with Vortex's group management feature we could accomplish the same thing in broader strokes, limiting the number of rules we need.
Using groups to sort your plugins
Let us again assume that all we want to do is have My Mod A, My Mod B, and My Mod C loading before Example Mod 1 and Example Mod 2. In the following, we will cover how to use the group management tools Vortex offers to accomplish this goal.
Click the 'Manage Groups' button in the toolbar.
This will bring up the group screen where all plugin 'groups' are managed. The group nodes and the links between them with the arrow in the middle are visual representations of plugins assigned to the same groups, their relative positions in the load order, and the load order sequence.
Group screen controls:
- Use the mouse wheel to zoom in and out.
- Left-click and hold (drag) on an empty area to pan the view.
- Right-click on an empty area to 'Add Group' which allows you to specify a name for a new group.
- Right-click on an empty area and select 'Layout' to return to the default view.
- Right-click on an empty area and select 'Reset..' to access the 'Reset Customisations' dialogue, allowing you to either revert all pre-configured groups to default, remove custom groups, or both.
- Left-click and hold (drag) starting from the centre of a group node to another to define a rule.
- Left-click and hold (drag) starting from the outermost part of a group node to move it (this is intended for ease of use, the layout will reset to default when you close and reopen the dialogue).
- Right-click and select 'Remove' to remove a link. Note: Grey links are considered master list rules and cannot be removed.
To give you a better understanding of the groups screen, let us look at the lowermost part of the load order chain:
This indicates that all plugins assigned to the 'SkyProc Unified Manager' group will load before all the ones assigned to the 'Reproccer Patches', then the plugins in the 'Post-Reproccer Patches' group are loaded, and lastly the ones assigned to the 'Maps & LOD' group.
For our purposes, we will need to create two new groups: one we can assign the three mods - My Mod A, My Mod B, and My Mod C - to, and another one, for Example, Mod 1 and Example Mod 2.

To create a new group right click on an empty area and select 'Add Group'.
Type in a name for the group that we will assign My Mod A, My Mod B, and My Mod C to, for example, 'My Mods A/B/C'.
Once you click 'Add' in the bottom right, this will create a new group of that name. The view will zoom back out and the new group node will be created:
Vortex How To Change Load Order
Repeat the same steps for a new group and name it 'Example Mods 1 and 2' (right click > Add Group > type in the name).
Once you have done that, connect the two groups starting from 'My Mods A/B/C' by left clicking and holding (dragging) the centre of that node:
Your two group nodes should now look like in the picture above. As far as the load order is considered, the rule that is set now dictates that every plugin assigned to the 'My Mods A/B/C' group will now load before any plugin in the 'Example Mod 1 and 2' group.
Note: While you can connect another node, e.g. the 'default' node, to the 'My Mods A/B/C' group node to set this group to load after 'default' and all subsequent groups, it is not absolutely necessary to do so. As is the rule we set would read:
All plugins in the 'My Mods A/B/C' group must load before all plugins in the 'Example Mod 1 and 2' group. It does not matter to me when these two groups are loaded in relation to other groups as long as 'My Mods A/B/C' loads before 'Example Mod 1 and 2'.
As this is exactly what we set out to do, you can now close the group management screen and return to your plugin list.
All that is left to do now is to actually assign our mods to the corresponding groups. To do so double-click Example Mod 1.esp in your plugin list to bring up the plugin details on the right and select the newly created 'Example Mod 1 and 2' group from the group drop down.
Hint: You will find the most recently created group at the very bottom of the list, and you can also use this drop-down to create new groups by typing in a new name and confirming by pressing Enter or clicking the name.
Mx simulator mac. Repeat the same step for Example Mod 2.esp and likewise choose the 'My Mods A/B/C' group for My Mod A.esp, My Mod B.esp, and My Mod C.esp.
Once you have correctly assigned the mods to their corresponding groups, click 'Sort now' in the toolbar. This will reorder the five plugins according to the group rule we set:
And there we go, instead of using six individual groups, we only use one group rule to accomplish the same thing in broader strokes! This method may be helpful especially when you keep adding mods that need to load before/after several others, as you would only need to assign them to the correct group, rather than resetting individual plugin rules.
