The time you think you will save will be more than made up by the time you spend in troubleshooting.

Such as patches to a mod.īatch loading a bunch of mods without testing is asking for trouble.

Be sure you have the proper tools to change the load order, usually OBMM and BOSSĪny mod that changes something in another mod MUST be loaded after the mod it makes changes to.
