Mod installation order?

Hey,

 

Does the install order of mods matter? I'm using MO2, of course. I'm not talking about load order, of course.

 

Thanks for the advice!

Yes, since they still overwrite eachother, its best to install them in somewhat right order, to not flip the whole modlist upside down, trying to get rid of bad overwrites. Technically it doesnt matter since u can always move them, but its just tons of unnecessery work

To be precise it is not the installation order that matters. In MO, you can install them whenever you want.

But if you ask about the left pane, the order there DOES matter.

Entries with a higher priority number are allowed to (virtually) overwrite files from lower ranked entries.

That's what I was talking about: Left Pane is important, but I wasn't sure about the order of installation. I would be very easy if I could just install my Nexus mods from top to bottom, then sort loadorder.

The install order is very important when use NMM because, the only way for get the correct overwrites, is follow a specific install order.

 

The install order in MO is not important because you can move the mods in the left pane for change the overwrites in any moment. As better install order less changes you must make in the left pane. Move the mods in the left pane only need one second but you must order it in the correct way.
