Make a backup of your load order files, plugins.txt and loadorder.txt, which are found in the %LOCALAPPDATA%\Skyrim folder.These are found in the %USERPROFILE%\Documents\My Games\Skyrim\Saves folder. To avoid disaster, you can backup your load order as follows:

Also, if you're not starting a new game, changing your load order may cause in-game issues. It's worth double-checking the load order LOOT gives you, in case it's gotten something wrong. Is there anything I should bear in mind when switching to LOOT? However, BOSS is no longer maintained for games other than Oblivion, and LOOT generally provides superior functionality. See LOOT's FAQ page for more info: Moving From BOSS You don't need to do either of these if you switch to using LOOT instead. Since the BOSS masterlist is no longer being maintained, submitting the URL is pointless.
#Skyrim mod load order manager update
"Submitting the URL of the mod" is supposed to be for the maintainers of the masterlist, so they can check the mod itself and verify its optimal load order and update the masterlist to include the mod's data. The BOSS message about "positioning manually" is because the mods' load order have to be sorted manually by the user as they are not in the (unmaintained) BOSS masterlist. Using mods for Skyrim, Fallout 3 or Fallout: New Vegas? Use LOOT instead, as BOSS's support for those games is relatively poor and no longer maintained. LOOT does the same thing as BOSS, which is to optimally sort the load order of mods/plugins, and it is still being maintained for Skyrim.Īccording to BOSS' webpage (emphasis mine): BOSS and its masterlist of mods (which specifies how mods are to be optimally sorted) are no longer being maintained for Skyrim.
