LoadOrderTest

What does this do?

This plugin does nothing except log a whole bunch of information related to the loading of Elder Scrolls plugins (.esp, .esl, .esm).

Specifically, the following information is logged:

• []The plugin list provided by your mod manager, both before and after data loading

  []The plugins actually loaded by the game

• The plugin files in your data directory

  In addition, it compares the two plugin list scans and checks whether the ReadPluginList function has been patched by another plugin.

  The log file is located under Documents/My Games/Skyrim Special Edition/SKSE/LoadOrderTest.log.

  Who is this for?

  This mod isn't really meant for the average user, but for mod authors to direct users to to gather diagnostics information when they have issues with missing forms in their mod. I maintain QuickLoot IE and commonly see people who get a specific error. Referring them to this page is easier than hotlinking the troubleshooting dll every time.

  The purpose of the log is to determine where things go wrong when plugins don't load properly. Are they missing entirely? Are they disabled in the mod manager? Is something interfering with the loading process? Or does the game fail to access forms within a loaded plugin? The tool logs the plugins on disk, the plugins supposed to load and the plugins actually loaded. Comparing these three lists can give an indication as to where in the chain things went wrong.
