LOOT and Hothtrooper Armor

[rallicknom]

When I run LOOT it always puts Hothtrooper Armor Compilation before Hothtrooper Armor Ecksstra when from what I understand the order should be reversed.

I can move the order in NMM but I am uneasy in doing so as there are about 20 or more esp's between the two so I move Compilation down a number of esp's and Ecksstra up a number of esp's so that Ecksstra loads before Compilation. I do not know whether this can cause any conflicts between other mods in my load order.

I realize that there is a function in LOOT that you can use to place an esp before or after another esp I just do not know how to use this function. I would be grateful if anyone could tell me how to use this function.

1. Open LOOT. When LOOT loads, you will see a list of your mods in the left hand pane.
2. Locate Hothtrooper44_ArmorCompilation.esp
3. Double click (left mouse button) on Hothtrooper44_ArmorCompilation.esp
4. In LOOT's right hand pane, you will see a light blue panel open up; it will look something like this:

Hothtrooper44_ArmorCompilation.esp
Main...Load After...Requirements...Incompatibilities...Messages (... 4 other items...)

5. Click on Load After (It will now display: File Name ...Display Name ...Condition - and, in the line immediately below, there will be a plus sign: + ).
6. Now, in the left hand pane again, locate Hothtrooper44_Armor_Ecksstra.esp
7. Using the left hand mouse button, click on Hothtrooper44_Armor_Ecksstra.esp, and, while holding down the left hand mouse button, drag Hothtrooper44_Armor_Ecksstra.esp to the right hand pane where it says Filename - a small + sign will appear. (steps 7 & 8 = Drag and Drop)
8. Release the left mouse button. Hothtrooper44_Armor_Ecksstra.esp will now appear directly under where it says Filename in the right hand panel.
9. Click on the Blue indicator immediately to the left of the red X in the light blue panel (when you hover over it, it should say Save Metadata in white print on a grey rectangle.
10. The information is now saved by LOOT, and whenever you sort your load order using LOOT, it will correctly place the Immersive Armor .esps in relation to each other.
11. Sort your load order with LOOT.
12. Hothtrooper44_ArmorCompilation.esp should now appear after Hothtrooper44_Armor_Ecksstra.esp in your load order.
13. Click Apply.
14. All done - close LOOT.

Many thanks smr1957, it is good to learn new functions of mod tools.

It's not hard to figure out if you just make the effort.

You can always just... manually sort after LOOT does it's thing. smr1957 is right too, of course, but the simplest solution is to just move it manually afterwards.

Using a google search, or even juts reading the documentation, is too difficult for many people unfortunately.
