Nexus Mod Manager Load Order
Meaning load order isn't really much of a thing with SSE. There are a couple of mods that don't play well together, but they won't cause instability usually even when using incompatible mods. Usually one overwrites what the other is trying to do and cancels that mod out. I literally can't use the apply tab on LOOT. It gets my load order wrong on few mods. I know where those particular mods are supposed to be in my load order. But if I can't place them where they are supposed to be, then my game is broken. A Beginning Knowledge of Nexus Site, Mod Organizer/Nexus Mod Manager, Personal Folders Directories and Modding.

Plugin Rules vs. Group RulesVortex gives you the ability to create rules that determine when a specific plugin loads in relation to another.Looking at this example load order for Skyrim, let's assume that we wanted to change it so that the three mods My Mod A, My Mod B, and My Mod C load before both Example Mod 1 and Example Mod 2.There are two ways to accomplish this: using several, individual plugin specific rules, or one group rule. In this document we will go over both options and how to set up the rules accordingly.Setting individual rules (per plugin)One way of achieving our goal of having My Mod A, My Mod B, and My Mod C load before Example Mod 1 and Example Mod 2 would be to set a total of six individual (or per plugin) rules.

In the following, we will cover how to use the group management tools Vortex offers to accomplish this goal.Click the 'Manage Groups' button in the toolbar.This will bring up the group screen where all plugin 'groups' are managed.
