📋 About This Mod

# PLOX - Plugin Load Order eXpert

PLOX is a rust re-write of MLOX, a utility tool to sort a modlist topologically according to ordering rules. PLOX also outputs warnings and notes dependent on the mods in your load order. You can use it as a GUI app or as a commandline tool.

Supported games:

- ✅TES3 - Morrowind

- ✅OpenMorrowind

- 🚧Cyberpunk 2077

PPlugins are sorted according to rules. The rules are hosted in their own repository:

  • TES3 - Morrowind and OpenMW: https://github.com/DanaePlays/mlox-rules

    You can additionally specify your own rules in a text file that you can create: (Game directory)/mlox/mlox_my_rules.txt

    Source code on GitHub: https://github.com/rfuzzo/plox

    The PLOX GUI supports a configuration file called `plox.toml` (place next to `plox_gui`) that allows you to customize its behavior.

    Here's an example of how to use the `plox.toml` file:

    config = "openmw.cfg"

    game = "OpenMW"

    ## Differences to MLOX

    - For Morrowind.exe, not really any other than this is a bit faster

    - For Openmw: this supports it natively

    ## Usage

    1. Download `plox_gui.exe`from  the latest release from <https://github.com/rfuzzo/plox/releases>

    2. Place `plox_gui.exe` next to the game's exe

    3. Double click `plox_gui.exe` to run

🤖 AI-enhanced — based on mod data

PLOX is a Rust rewrite of MLOX, a utility that topologically sorts your modlist based on ordering rules and outputs warnings and notes. It offers both a GUI and command-line interface, making it flexible for different user preferences. With 379 endorsements and recent updates, it's a niche but actively maintained tool for load order management.

✨ Key Features

Rust rewrite of MLOX for improved performance and reliability.
Topologically sorts modlist according to ordering rules.
Outputs warnings and notes based on the mods in your load order.
Usable as a GUI application or via command line.
Actively maintained with last update in May 2025.

📊 Pros & Cons

✅ Pros

  • Actively maintained (last updated May 2025) — you won't be stuck with a dead tool.
  • Dual GUI and command-line interface — great for both casual users and power users who script their setup.
  • Community-trusted with 379 endorsements and over 12k downloads — people actually use this.

⚠️ Cons

  • No detailed documentation or usage examples provided in the description — you'll have to figure out the GUI or CLI on your own.
  • Requires understanding of load order rules to get the most out of it — not a one-click fix for beginners.
  • No explicit mention of supported games or mod formats — compatibility with your specific game might be uncertain.
🎯 Is This For You?
For modders who juggle large load orders and want an automated way to sort them logically. Also for command-line enthusiasts who prefer scripting their mod management. Skip if you have a small modlist or prefer manual sorting.
📦 Install:Easy· Under 1 minute

💡 Beginner Tips

  • Run PLOX from the command line with --help to see available options if you're not using the GUI.
  • Use the warnings it generates to spot potential conflicts — they're more valuable than the sorting itself.
  • If you're new to load order sorting, start with the GUI to visualize the changes before diving into CLI.
