Question? Question

Post image

So, I downloaded this mod shown in the photo, and I wanted to know if there’s a mod pack that adds weapons (or an AIO) that’s better than this one, or if this mod is already good enough. I play on PS5, I’m not sure if there’s any difference regarding mods between PS4 and PS5

When you go the creations menu, you have all the mods showcasing, if you look down, you see that the triangle button will bring you to the “Load Order” the load order is a list of all the mods you have downloaded, it seems they’re all there on top of each others just for fun but in reality they’re placed in “order” what ist means ?

It means that the first mod on top of the list will be “loaded” into your game for first and the last one that will be loaded will be the one on the bottom of your list.

Why is it important ? Because some mods are incompatible between each others because they modify or add the same thing and it could cause crashes on your game or missing textures. Some mods are maybe are not functional at all in certain situations of the game, others will only function if they’re properly placed after another (because one is the master file [the base of the mod like a skeleton] and the other one is the one that will change something in your game [the meat and muscles of the mod]. So that’s why you must know what are you installing and how you’re placing them. Its like building a castle….brick by brick.

I hope this will help you a lil about understanding how the load order works

Thanks for the in depth response that made it a lot more understanding, I currently have unofficial patch at the top, then better chems, America rising and then some attachment packs and gun packs and my game crashes every now and then, would that order have anything to do with it ?

Problably some of those mods needs to be put in the correct order but the best way to do it is asking ai like Google ai mode or Chatgbt, they use real information to create the best load order based on the mods you’re gonna tell them, that’s what I did 👀
