Issue with LOOT

[Bargums]

Whenever I try to run loot through MO2 this warning appears, even though it's installed correctly. How can I fix this?

Easy.. don't run LOOT... ever.

And be glad it error-ed. Saved you a lot of headaches.

The issue with loot is it cannot tell when a mod has a soft dependency, or a hard dependency unless it's listed as master in the esp/esl. This leads to it sorting the mods incorrectly and causing a lot of errors, mods not activating in game, missing features, or flat out crashing the game.

 

The best habit to acquire is to actually read a mods description. Understand what it really does and what it needs to work correctly. In the end, you'll end up with a much more enjoyable playing experience and a lot less time bug busting.

Not to mention instinctively knowing exactly where a mod needs to be in "your" load order.
