Needing help with a error

[nufndash]

I am getting this error  when I run Tes5eddit..

 

[00:04] Background Loader: Fatal: <Exception: "Giants.esp" requires master "Skyrim.esm" to be loaded before it.>.

 

 This is happening when I try to load a mod called Female Giants. The other time it happened was with a Araidia dancer outfit mod.  I have tried to put both mods at the very bottom of my load order, but I keep getting the same error.  I have Googled the crap out of this all the way back to 2013 but nothing of a fix or a reasoning comes up.  My skyrim was purchased through Steam (legit download not pirated) and have verified the cache several times. Does anyone have any idea's what would be causing this.  Obviously I must be missing a master somewhere, but I have had these mods installed for a year without problems.

Any help at all would be greatly appreciated!

For whatever reason xEdit is loading the load order wrong. When you first open it and it shows the file list is the Giants.esp after Skyrim.esm?

Why not delete Skyrim.esm and redownload it with Steam? Maybe it's screwed up or something.

Maybe delete your current version of TESVedit and download a new one. Perhaps files in the program were corrupted.

Finally, whatever mod organizer you use, make sure its updated.

TESVedit is a simple program that is so barebones it should rarely if ever screw up but there's always room for error. Just some ideas while I wait for nightfall... I can't play Skyrim right now though I want to because it's so blistering hot my PC with two power hungry 980 Ti's are boiling and turning my whole room into a sauna.

Yes Giants.esp is last in my order and Skyrim.esm is first. It loads Skyrim.esm at the very top(first), but it looks like it try's to load it again after Giants.esp.  I am not sure why or if this is what is supposed to happen, or how to stop it from trying to load Skyrim.esm again if it is not supposed to.

Ok I'm at a loss then. Without seeing the esp I have no idea unless maybe the Giants.esp is messed up.

 

Are you able to load the Skyrim.esm by itself (just to see if it loads at all)?

Thank you all for your time and your brainstorming....I just updated to tes5eddit 3.2 and the errors went away and looks like it went back to loading correctly.  I always say to keep your mods and programs up to date....I guess I should listen to my own advice!  Thanks again.
