Should ELFX load before SMIM and Majestic Mountains?

[Machtinzon♛ (vagban)]

My setup:

Load ELFX before (suggested by Vortex) Majestic Mountains
Load ELFX after (suggested by Vortex) A Noble Skyrim
Load ELFX before SMIM

Should lightning mods like ELFX be loaded before or after texture replacement mods and mods like SMIM that chance the polygon count?

I'm wondering things like this myself. Expected more help from the community. Kinda surprised to see nothing here.

MM Ater SMIM and I don't use ELFX Eteriors (only interiors) plus I use ELFX Shadows so ELFX Shadows goes After MM.

ELFX by itself does not conflict with MM for me.

SMIM as a general rule goes Before everthing.

So ELFX goes After SMIM.

LOOT is not always correct not too mention some things are preference, some things like texture packs for example or if you understand file structure for this game then certain aspects of a mod you might want wining over the other.

Here's an example of some of those rules for those mods
