Load Order
If you are using LOOT then generally the mods will be in the right place. If you cannot use LOOT then you should follow this load order. As a general rule, everything should overwrite Kaidan 2.0 and replacers should be at the very end. We have listed outdated patches, these should not be in your load order. There are some mods where the load order is not important as they do not overwrite anything (except Kaidan 2.1.1), these are marked with an asterisk (*).
