one possible way to look at mod load order
from my days of skyrim modding it is mainly parent goes first then child, so if you want to look at this as a family tree. Example would be forgive my spelling,
Harmony is the great grand family,
then you have rimworld expanded framwork that the grand family
then you have rim world expanded as the parents
from there it kids and grandkids
so any mod that adds clothing would go here
or power etc

Read the description if you see anything that looks like framework in the discription it goes first then mods that add say clothing.

So to recap:

harmony
rimworld expanded framework
then the actually modpack as the parent
then the mods in the pack as the child

this will also be the rule as i mentioned for mods think oldest child first in reguards to load order might have to work on that some more but i hope that helps.

Of course you will have unrule kids so you might have to mess with load order some

i will work on some examples from the list to help visual it better

thanks for reading

So here is one example

Rimworld first
rimworld dlc second (this needs to load in order to have the option of the mods to work)
rimworld expanded framework/harmony (not sure which in that case you might want to mess around)
rimworld expanded modpack (so why put this next if it not a mod, mainly because this modlist is in order of working importants so no modpack no mods unless you load them up one at a time)

from there it is sort of this order

if your listing order of most important mod then the next on the list would be the mod that makes the most changes. You use to have to manual over write the code by clicking yes several times but as modloaders got better it seems that you don't have too as much.

a example of child mods would be

you have rimworld-----then the royal dlc-------which you would want any mod that makes huge changes to Royal dlc under the royal dlc but above any mod that makes simple changes to royal dlc that you might want to over write from the expanded mod.

i hope that helps clear things up some

forgot to mention this in more detail

the modlist reads from top to bottom in most cases so if you want something to over write something then put it after the mod you want to over write.
