    Hey everyone! Back on Skyrim and turns out there's been a lot of mods added since my last load order. I had to change things up to make some room; as much as I loved the last list. Let me know how close you've come to that limit! I'll be leaving more space in the future 😅

    My last skyrim load order had about 306 plugins at about 4.9gbs. It was borderline stable. The mod by tommas666 that diagnoses possible problems said I was within the "safe" range of esp's and esm's.
    Although I could be considered a veteran and had put a huge load order which remained functional for the most part, I had never sit to write it down, and at one point my mods got jumbled up in the load order and I lost my will to live.
    So Im doing just that now, cataloging every mod by file size first, then organizing a load order, and making a checklist of about 40 problematic aspects of the game I need to playtest before I commit to a new playthrough.
    Its probably about a year since I dropped Skyrim and I have no idea how far modding on xbox has progressed since then.

    • @Matt_the_TechRanger

      Always a good idea to keep track. I think that puts a lot of people off but when you have a record. Then it's easy if you need to wipe the Reserved space. Definitely a lot more mods on Xbox than a year ago. When I made this video, I was amazed at how many more there were in 6-7 months. I might still jump on from time to time to see what's new. Eyeing up Kinggath's Bard College expansion too.

      @@Matt_the_TechRanger the big issue with skyrim on consoles has been script bloat, which became more apparent after they lift the cap for downloads. When you add many mods with new mechanics the game starts to act up. In my case every few hours some npcs could stop showing some options for renting inns, bartering or giving radiant quests, and this was usually fixed by exiting the game and loading. On pc these issues are apparently solved with the script extender.
      Now, while Skyrim has probably the most advanced and complex mods of all beth games, its also one of the trickiest to diagnose. I get curious at whats being put out there but I also need to chill at some point and accept a load order as my definitive take on the game lol.

    Really awesome mod list. The only one I deleted was Movement & Behaviors 2.0 because it was causing issues for me at the start of the game and made it basically impossible to actually start. (Carriages kept glitching out, the Imperial soldier lady kept dying, sometimes Lokir wouldn't run and get shot by the arrows as is supposed to happen, and the Stormcloak Soldier would just stand there with no one to execute him.) Then I also downloaded "Alternate Start - Live Another Life" and put it at the very bottom of the load order because, quite honestly, I'd really rather not be stuck with the vanilla start to begin with tbh. I'd rather start in the house in Solitude.

    • @Matt_the_TechRanger
      @Matt_the_TechRanger  2 місяці тому +1

      The first thing to understand is that there isn't a perfect load order. I think categories can be confusing since there are always caveats. Cloaks and Capes is like an armor/clothing mod. I made a couple of load order tip videos, as well as one for how I make Skyrim load orders, that may help.
      There are tons of load order tips on UA-cam from channels like RTD and on the Skyrim Xbox Mods Reddit. But don't get fixated on categories. It's good to know and follow a general structure but there are over 30K mods on Xbox and it's hard to categorize all of them.
      Use your best judgment, and ask yourself what the mod does and whether it will conflict with others. Using both of those things, you'll be good. It's not as complicated as it seems.

      Yeah, the cap is hardcoded in these old games.
      Besides, this could work for graphic mods, but skyrim on consoles has a "soft cap" for scripts building up simultaneously. Once youre past a certain threshold the game starts to fall apart as time goes by.
