Does anybody know how to change load order of ESL files on Mod Organizer

[grsspirit]

I am trying to changed the load order of ESL on Mod organizer. What i want to do is get a ESP file plugin before a ESL File. I thought somebody might know.

Don't think MO does, isn't that LOOTs job?

Vortex and MO2 have loot's sorting function built in, I assume MO has the same.

I know you can set up macros to move mods up and down the load order (macros are the wrong word, but I mean you can specify a mod comes before or after a mod), I can only assume MO, MO2 and Vortex have some way of doing this as well..... I would have to google a guide for MO, which is what I would suggest the OP does.

As far as I know .esl files are like esm files where they are always loaded first. I don't believe there is any way to change that.

You can however flag an esp as an esl and it will then not take up a load order spot nor be subject to load first in your load order.

Obviously that would only be an option if the esl file you are trying to sort is available as an esp file.

I knew that about Vortex.

Never used MO2 so I didn't know about that.
BUT I thought you had to open LOOT in MO2 I didn't know that it was built in.

@OP, this is your best advice/information
the guys are also right regarding Loot and Vortex although you use MO2. Not that it matters because it all comes down to Loot one way or another and the way files load. Which Southpawe explains.

thanks for the advice i will use a earlier version of the mod that has no problem.

Just so we are clear, Vortex does have Loot built in to the program.

MO and MO2 do NOT have Loot built in, it is a tool you must add.
