Thank you for these great and comprehensive guides to modding in Skyrim! Could you perhaps update this (or create a new topic or sub-topic to this one, whatever may work better) to reflect the fact that the BOSS tool has been kind of left aside by the more updated program called LOOT? Works practically the same way as BOSS, but is perhaps a bit more complete, and it's what modders are using, mostly. Would my "My Documents" and hence the "My Games" folder being on E: be an issue? I have installed BOSS Version 2.3.2, and get the critical error mentioned above, but when I run and quit Skyrim this makes no difference, the same error appears.ĭo you have any idea what might be causing this? Assuming these "Skyrim" tools are new to you, which will you use as a result of reading this article?.So you would get a bucketload of conflict reports, that were actually false positives.

If I recall it correctly It registered almost every mod as having a conflict which overwrote something of Oblivion.esm.

How to add BOSS and other executables to Mod Organizer. You can see my initial load order in Mod Organizer below:

As with other record level conflicts, the 'load order' determines which mod's 'fix' wins. Mods that are lower down the list will potentially overwrite mods higher up (this is where conflicts can occur). These 'game fixer' mods often alter the same records, which means you should only use one (because the 'Rule Of One' still applies, in which case YUP is the favorite recommendation) unless you also use a merge patch file to resolve the record level conflicts.Simply put, Skyrim loads all mods (including the actual game itself) in order, starting at mod number 1 by using the load order.First, let’s look at the load order itself. We will look at using two tools, BOSS and TES5Edit, to optimise your load order. Mods that make similar changes to the same object or objects do not overwrite each other and if they do, you have control over what gets overwritten.All necessary patches are installed (authors will often make patches so that their mods will work well with other popular mods).
