Well I can tell you that LOOT is almost for sure more capable of arranging the load order in a good way then you. Unless you can actually understand 100% of what said mod does you won't ever know exactly where to put it, let alot arrange 50 or more or much more esps on your own.And in case you didn't knew, LOOT was recently updated to version 0.7 and according to a lot of ppl it's now smarter and organizes things more better! So save yourself time and just keep using it, manually it'd take you a century to actually properly learn how to organize things for yourself, let alot do it after adding even more mods. I completely understand you:) but I think it'd be a hard job to understand exactly what it does.

I guess LOOT has to check each mod and compare it to all other mods and do this for each mod. WHich manually by urself would take a long time and then make a load order and optimize manually would take a long time.

I'm not saying it's impossible or that you shouldn't do it but I feel like it would be a time wast for you. But you may try to talk to the people/person (idk if it's one or more ppl.) behind LOOT and ask them for a explanation. They/he/she will probably guide you in the right direction:). I use LOOT (the 0.6 version, I can't handle the 0.7 UI) and I took the liberty of manually changing some of the mods' load order by bumping up their priority or whatever the term is; the higher the number, the later they appear on the load order and the later they load in the game, so any mods that need to go the end of the load order get the biggest number.I like putting AFT at the bottom so my many mod followers are guaranteed to behave, and LOOT automatically puts mods that need to go after AFT, after AFT.

I had to manually make AFT's Friend Spell Fire add-on go under those, and at the very very end is my bashed patch (automatically generated priority 10199 or some similarly ridiculously high number). If things aren't behaving according to the mod description, it's a good indicator that the mod in question was loaded too early and was overwritten by another mod or even restored to a vanilla state.Don't be afraid to mess with load orders, but be aware that you will have to start a new game to see the changes in effect. Good modding practice means starting a new game whenever you add, remove, or change mods. Tedious, but you will have a more stable experience in-game that way.For instance, I have multiple mods that mess with leveled lists for vendors, bandit loot, etc. One of my more recent additions broke the lists; instead of featuring a wide selection of ores and ingots like other mods featured, blacksmiths only had 10 leathers and 10 leather strips in their Misc. Merchant inventory. I had to learn about Wyre Bash and bashed patches real quick to properly merge all the changes to leveled lists so I could enjoy all the mods, not just the last one loaded in my load order.

Contents.Prepare and Install VortexEnsure your current Mod Manager isn’t downloading or installing anything and close it. In the case of Mod Organizer, if you want to save files in the overwrite folder ensure you either create a new mod or add them to an existing one.You should also ensure you have enough Hard Drive storage to duplicate both your installed mods and download folders into Vortex. The migration copies the data and does not remove it from your old manager.Download Vortex and install it onto your PC. Then login to your Nexus Mods account.

On the Games tab of Vortex, ensure the game you are migrating is currently in the “Managed” section. If you haven't set up your current game to be managed, see section titled: 'How do I add a new game to Vortex?' File:Importing your modsNow you have the current game selected, head to the “Mods” section. Along the toolbar at the top, you will find “Import from” which will show the import options available.On the first page of the Import Tool, Vortex will attempt to auto-detect the mod manager you’re importing from. If it can’t find it, or you have more than one version of the mod manager installed, you can change is the mod manager install path.Step 2 will show a list of currently installed mods in NMM.

You can manually change the “Import” drop-down next to each file in order to stop Vortex from adding the mod. Another important checkbox is found at the bottom left - “Import Archives” will pull the original archives for the selected mods. This is highly recommended because you may need to reinstall the mod from its archive if you remove your old mod manager. Archives will be stored in the Vortex download folder, which can be defined before running this tool if required.At this next stage, it is important you wait patiently for the process to run. If you have a lot of complex mods installed it will take some time. Vortex may appear to freeze when processing big mods.DO NOT OPEN ANY OTHER MOD MANAGER DURING THIS PROCESS.Congratulations, you’ve now imported all of your mods into Vortex.

There are a few final considerations which are optional from this point, but worth reading if you’re new to Vortex.Nexus Mod Manager Considerations. Removing Nexus Mod Manager without breaking Vortex Due to the way Nexus Mod Manager (NMM) handles mods, there are a few extra steps to remove it, to ensure you don’t get any headaches. The safest way to remove your NMM installation without impacting Vortex would be to do the following:. In Vortex, on the “Mods” tab, select all your mods with Ctrl + A. Then using the toolbar at the bottom click “Disable all”. This pulls all Vortex controlled files out of your game folder.

Open Nexus Mod Manager (NMM), and click the 'switch mod manager view' button so you see only your mods and not the categories. Select all mods with Ctrl + A and press the delete key. Confirm your selection, this will remove the installed mod files and archives from NMM which will release the hard drive space it’s using.

(Optional) Use the NMM tool “Purge Unmanaged files” which will delete any leftover fragments of mods that NMM may have left behind. Uninstall Nexus Mod Manager from your system. Open Vortex and enable the mods you want to use again. If you use the purge option, this may remove externally installed files such as script extenders, ENBs and Steam Workshop mods. These files will need to be reinstalled if your load order requires them. You may also want to revalidate your game installation if you have problems after completing this step.16:21, 24 October 2018 (BST).
