❓ Load Order FAQ
What is a mod load order?
The sequence in which your mods load. Foundations (SKSE, patches) must load first; visual mods last. Wrong order = crashes, missing textures, broken quests.
Should I use a mod manager?
Yes. Subscribe on Steam Workshop. Mods auto-download and install. Launch the game to activate. A mod manager sorts your load order automatically and flags conflicts.
How many mods should I install?
Start with the foundations above, then add gameplay and visuals gradually. Test after each batch so you can identify what breaks.
