The order in which your plugins are loaded is important because some plugins might depend on others, in which case they need to load after whichever plugin they depend on. Assets will be loaded along with the corresponding plugin.Įnabled plugins (plugins that you "turn on") are loaded by the game engine according to a specified sequence commonly referred to as "load order". These assets can be bundled into game specific archives (*.bsa files, or *.ba2 files), or come as "loose files" (uncompressed folders containing the assets). That can include but is not limited to: voice files, textures, meshes, scripts etc. Other mods come with both a plugin file as well as other assets. For example a new NPC that is using existing dialogue lines, existing clothes etc. just an *.esp file, which contains data referencing the game. Some *.esp files will have different dependencies, for instance, *.esp files that reference data in the three Skyrim DLCs will depend on Skyrim.esm as well as one or several of the DLC master files: Dawnguard.esm, Dragonborn.esm, and HearthFires.esm. Most plugins come in the form of an *.esp file and as such will depend on one or several master file(s) (*.esm files) such as "Skyrim.esm" that contains all the data for the base game. changing an existing alchemy recipe), or introduce new data (e.g. They can modify data in the base game (e.g. Plugins (which come in the form of "*.esp", "*.esm", and "*.esl" files) are files used in Bethesda games (The Elder Scrolls, and Fallout series) that are loaded by the game engine.
In this document we will go over what plugins and mods are, and why load orders and install orders are important. At times, you will need to specify rules yourself for plugins that are not covered by LOOT. That being said, with Vortex you are still able to define your own rules for both plugins as well as groups of plugins for more granular control of your load order. Vortex comes with LOOT integrated into it and will automatically sort your load order in a sensible fashion to avoid conflicts and achieve a stable setup. As such it will notify you of issues such as incompatibilities between mods, missing requirements, or available patches. The goal of LOOT is to provide you with an easy way to avoid conflicts between mods. LOOT (which is short for Load Order Optimisation Tool) is a load order management tool that is curated by the community, and it is designed to automatically sort your plugin list based on ever-evolving rules.
In general, Vortex will sort your plugin list based on LOOT automatically.
