Oblivion Mod:Complete Installation Guide for Oblivion/Part 3/Check Your Load Order

Check Your Load Order

...in the Bash 'Mods' tab.

If you are wondering what the various discolorations mean that you may be seeing in the Mods tab now, keep Wrye Bash's Plugin Status Indicators open while you correct your load order.

Run BOSS via the shortcut along the bottom of Bash's window. When it finishes, the BOSS log will pop up showing the resultant load order and notes pertaining to each plugin. BOSS is more current than many popular mods and, thus, also more current than many mods' documentation. Therefore, to be safe, read the notes in the log whenever you add a new plugin. The log contains information ranging from known conflicts, to installation errors to Bash tag information.

Note: If you run BOSS from outside of Bash (i.e., through the BAT file in the Data folder) you would have to temporarily turn off lock times first.

A Corrected Load Order

This is the load order for all of the mods downloaded earlier in this guide ignoring the Bashed Patch's functionality. Adding the Bashed Patch also means changing the activation status of many of these plugins, but the order of the plugins will not change.
