[Creations] Optimized Load Order Framework (Feedback Wanted)
Since the release of Creations, I’ve gone through a ton of different load orders trying to find something consistent and stable. This is the framework I’ve landed on so far — aiming for a balance between clean structure and proper override priority.
I’d appreciate any feedback to help fully optimize it.
Load Order Framework:
-
Master Files / Core Fixes
-
Bethesda Content / Quests
-
Major Overhauls
-
Environmental (Weather, Star Colors, Atmosphere, Space Visuals)
-
Quests / New POIs
-
Outpost / Decorations
-
Followers
-
Player Option Changes
-
Weapons
-
Weapon Skins
-
Armor / Apparel
-
Armor / Apparel Skins
-
Ships
-
Texture / Graphics (Non-Lighting)
-
Lighting (Interior/Exterior Lighting Mods)
-
Audio
-
UI / HUD
-
Patches / Bottom Priority
If you’ve tested different setups or noticed conflicts with certain categories (especially environmental vs lighting), I’d love to hear what’s worked best for you. Trying to refine this
