A Load Order Thread

Post » Sat Aug 25, 2012 12:02 pm

I'm finishing up a fresh installation and would like the advice of somebody who's head isn't clouded by staring at the bashed patch loading bar :biggrin:. I'm particularly interested in discovering potential conflicts or outdated mods, but any advice is appreciated. I'm all about exploring the wilderness/amassing loot, so the installation is heavy on texture replacers, quest mods, easter egg hunts and not much else.

This installation seems stable, so far, but I've only tested for a few hours, running between towns and starting fights with guards. My only ctd was outside of Castle Almgard. Not a surprise really, that's a demanding mod, and adding QTP3 Redimized and RAEVWD on top consumes a substantial amount of memory. Otherwise fps is quite decent, even in trouble spots like the IC Docks.

Unsolved problems:
  • Redguards have pale and sickly faces. I suspect this has something to do with TNR revamped/Better Redguards. I do have Redguard FGTS Nuller enabled in the bashed patch though.
To do:
  • Replace miscellaneous ugly QTP3 textures with something better
  • Experiment with OBGE shaders. I've never touched them before, but I would like to add a little more contrast and make the lighting more interesting.
  • If evrything remains stable, install DukePatricks combat mods.
  • Assuming the game is still stable, add some of David Brasher's dungeon mods as well.
  • Test install of Better Music System - thoughts on this mod would be appreciated!

Also, holy crap, OBGE Liquid Water is GORGEOUS. Screenshots don't do it justice, but it is by far the best water mod I've tried yet.

On the subject of textures, it's highly subjective and many people use a combination of several mods. I suggest you read the following threads, which have lots of opinions:
'http://www.gamesas.com/topic/1381981-new-rig-new-decisions-texture-packs'
'http://www.gamesas.com/topic/1370964-replacing-qtp3-with'
'http://www.gamesas.com/topic/1386834-moops-guide-to-amazing-oblivion-graphics-2012'
'http://www.gamesas.com/topic/1357172-alternative-to-qarls-texture-pack'
"http://tesalliance.org/forums/index.php?/topic/4187-list-johns-list-of-graphic-mods-for-mid-range-rigs"
If that's not enough, I have more.

If you are having CTDs after using BOSS, about the only thing left is to load your entire LO into TES4Edit and examine each of the conflicts.
