Starfield Load Order How To And FAQS 

The first rule of modding: always read the mod description. The second rule of modding: Always read the mod description. It sounds obvious but you would be surprised how many people will see something cool looking instantly click download without thinking.

Coffee time! Blowing my mind first thing in the morning. Great video, thanks for sharing.

Nahw, every time i follow a youtubers instruction on load orders i have to reinstall my games. Had this happen with starfield too. I use my own random load order (except for the mods that clearly point out in the discription where to place them) and have about 3 a day. I use a "good" load order from youtube and i either crash after a second loading screen or just crash right away. Like a youtuber said i had to use the star wars aliens mod around 35% down the load order. Just completely removed the aliens wich said mod should have brought with. I place it exactly where the tuber tells me not to put it and it works like a charm.

Nice video. Iv been modding for a while and I got close to 150 mods between vortex and creations, but I could have used this video when I first started with creations Remember to always put updates on your calendar for whatever game you are modding. The day before an update comes out turn off all mods. Once the update comes out, start the game save and then try turning on mods a few at a time. This should save you some time on having to redownload everything for Starfield. However some mods will always have to be kept off until the author updates it to work with the new game version.

Timely and much appreciated CFB and thanks for the link. My current issue is the partially invisible NPCs and the odd looking structures (weird lighting from a distance) until you get right up to them. Are these mod load issues? And look , a lot of us who aren't computer experts just want a smooth playing game. So what you share does help. And if anyone has a thought about what I can do to fix the two issues above then that would be appreciated! Now..onto that Reddit Link!

And does anyone know how to fix the partially invisible NPC's walking around? I suspect it's maybe a clothing mod but not certain. If anyone had this problem and found a fix then I'd appreciate your reply. Thx! Addendum. The Star Wars Outfits for the main characters was the cause. I do have a couple of other clothing mods so it may have been some conflict with them or it could have been the mod itself. That load order list you posted is really helpful.

I personally feel when it comes particularly to Starfield and anyone talking about mods that they really should try and properly explain to their viewers about the load order and how to properly setup their load order. So many players I’ve read in other comments on load order have problems on PC and Xbox with mods, crashes and not understanding how to organize the mods. I myself spend so much time scouring RU-vid to find really proper detail video that explained how to properly understand and setup load your load order first mods. It then took me many hours to completely rearrange the entire mod list of around a 100 mods to get it setup right and still then fiddled with it a few more hours loading the game then back to fiddle with load order. At best, man you’d think Starfield would make this kinda thing automatically organized. Because you also do have to be mindful as you add mods later on to put it in its right place in load order so it don’t become a headache to reorganize. Understanding the “category” in the game of where a mod falls into was really important to understand and then where that category falls on the load list order. Category as in is this mod a UI mod, it is a Patches mod which goes to the top or loads first in order. Is this mod Gameplay related mod, is this mod Environmental which are close to the top, but well below Patches and anything UI related, but loads before Gear and Gameplay mods. That is what I’m trying to say in understanding which then he,ps you later if you add a new mod understanding where that goes in your entire list category of mods.

Hello Crimson, Creator of Xeno Master here. it doesn't actually matter where you put Xeno Master in your load order. It shouldn't cause any problems since my mod makes absolutely no changes to the base game content at all. If Xeno Master needed to be legit somewhere, you can probably put it next to where other companions mods are usually installed. I mention under compatibility in the mod description where it should be fine with just about everything. If somehow people have issues, I would tell them to check their mod (index) count (see if they are getting close to the 110/90 mod limit). I also noticed the page for Xeno Master is outdated, but obviously that is a Creations/Bethnet related issue. With some of the people mention here in the comments, I cannot stress enough. Always read the mod description. I had people ask me questions (about Xeno Master) already answered in FAQs or in the literal mod description itself! Regardless great video, thanks for sharing with us.

They need to fix this whole "invisible" cap they have on how many mods we can have. Why give us 99 gbs of space and we can only have 100 mods!? 😪😭🤣

The Community Patch is careful to not include unwanted changes. The Unofficial Patch is the one with the history Crimson mentions. Also be aware that the LOOT database doesn't have enough information in its database yet to be particularly useful. Be aware also that the BGS manager you have to use on console is not very reliable. It doesn't update mods correctly; you have to delete and redownload. It also has an issue of not remembering your load order. I have also seen it re-enable mods that you have disabled. Remember not to delete mods unless you are very confident that it is safe to do so. It can easily corrupt your save file.

I've used Fallout 4 and Skyrims load orders as a guide at the same time for Starfield, and the experience has been mostly smooth. Where either is different, I guess my best.

I play on xbox, when I want to put a new mod, or whatever, I enter the game, save the game, exit the game, delete Reserved Space, reset the console and reload the last save. Then the game asks me if I want to install all mods that were active. Then the game installs everything in its own order and arranges the mods, in 90% of cases everything works perfectly for me, every mod is active and I don't have any game crashes. So, if it could help someone, I would be glad, best regards 👍.

Does anyone know why my game crashes when I update the mods? (PC)

Woah you got like a little over 20 mods and you already used up, up to 100gb space?? I got 80 mods in my load order and all of them put together adds up to only around 5gb. And pretty much 40% of the mods in my load order are full masters.

I just want to know where my UC outfits replacers go in the load order this video is really rambling

Can you show your full load order

I appreciate the work this video took to make😅...thank you crimson 👍🙌

yes u do need the unoffical patch

Why doesn’t Bethesda or a modder release a patch or mod (i.e. the Ship Vendor Framework mod) that when downloaded automatically places any mods downloaded into the proper load order?

The Rug landing pad is one of my fav, so immersive

Correct me if i sm wrong. I am a newbie but from what i understand you wanna put game changing mods at the top, followed by either outpost or ship then companions & last things like skins or guns etc.

A great vid for organization, thanks to Reddit for trying to setup a good load order. Thanks to the modders who make good instructions. And finally, thank you Crimson for bringing this to our attention.

I’ve posted on Reddit about this a few times now 😭 I really wish I could just give someone a list and pay them real fucking adult money to organize it for me lmaoo like for real there’s so many things I want to add but just like my dumb ass used to do with Skyrim I’ll end up getting 10-15 hours in and everything starts going to shit

How about all of the shipyard mods? Where do they go? Thats the problem with utilizing Skyrim LOs for the xbox users. Lot of us don't havebthe ability to load up on PC ro run a mod organizer. Does anyone have a stable load order guide that specifically addresses where we place ship mods and armor mods.

Love your videos. Thank you for the great work! Can you please maybe do a review of the Dynamic Universe Mod by youngneil1 (300 Credits) and Archivist of Altair by InvokerGray (100 Credits)? Would be awesome.

My only problem is that im around 120. And some mods in between the catalogs like Crafting or armor. the load orders don't show up in game. Even if i move stuff around. It either cause my first mod of crafting thats not working. Working. Then causes one of the other crafting mods to not show up anymore. I just wish we could have more then 120 working perfectly. And if only Bethesda has a way of making Catalogs list for us to put our stuff in. Or make an Auto generated load order to help us out

I've given up on mods, vanilla game works best now😅
