LOOT has no way of being able to tell by itself if a plugin is outdated or not. It may provide warnings for outdated plugins through the masterlist, but this depends on user feedback.
How to use tes5edit to change mods update#
I've run LOOT with obsolete versions of some plugins and LOOT didn't tell me to update them! How come? LOOT isn't omniscient. Plugin groups can be used when the plugin needs to load before or after many other plugins.īe sure to read LOOT's documentation for more information on these.'Load After' entries can be used for pairs of specific plugins.There are two types of metadata that can be supplied to change load order: Users can supply metadata themselves to alter the order LOOT gives. I have specific reasons to have in my game a different load order than the one LOOT proposes. How do I double-check the ordering? The most thorough method is to look for conflicts in TES5Edit and decide for yourself if the load order LOOT gives resolves them to your liking. Using LOOT I'm suspicious that LOOT is ordering plugin X after plugin Y.

The load order BOSS gives is hand-made to look 'neat' as well as work, so plugins from the same mod will usually get grouped together, but LOOT doesn't know which plugins belong to which mod, so it just puts them where it thinks they work. For example, some plugins may not conflict or depend on each other, so their relative orders wouldn't matter. How can the load order LOOT gives be right if BOSS gives a very different load order? There can be more than one correct load order for a given set of plugins. Unlike in BOSS, LOOT's masterlist doesn't give specific load order positions, which makes it more adaptable and easier to maintain. While it can sort most plugins correctly, sometimes it gets things wrong, and LOOT's masterlist is used to provide metadata so that it can sort such plugins correctly. Does LOOT sort based only on plugin content? No. This means that it can sort all plugins without needing them to become recognised first. and uses that information to decide on the best ordering. LOOT instead reads the contents of each plugin to see which plugins conflict, etc. How can LOOT not have unrecognised plugins? To sort a plugin, BOSS needs it to be added to its masterlist, which is hand-ordered by its maintainers.

Moving From BOSS What happened to BOSS v3? LOOT started development as BOSS v3, but it became a separate utility to avoid confusion once it became clear how little in common it had with BOSS v2.

How do I configure LOOT's masterlist updater to use it?
