Managing Mod Load Order

SutandoTsukai181 edited this page Jun 13, 2022 · 4 revisions

This article explains how to manager the mod load order for your installed mods.

Method A: Vortex

Follow this method if you installed your mods using Vortex.

Load order

Vortex does not have a defined mod load order. Instead, it has a Conflicts menu where you can define rules to resolve conflicts. This way, it's much easier to install mods because you don't have to care about load order if the mods are compatible with each other (i.e. if they don't have any conflicts).

Resolving conflicts

In the case there is a conflict, Vortex will notify you about it, and you will have to open the Conflicts menu and choose the priority of the conflicting mods. Simply set one mod to be "before" or "after" the other one, and the conflict will be resolved. Keep in mind that when conflicts happen, there's a big chance that the mods will not fully work as intended.


Method B: Mod Organizer

Follow this method if you installed your mods using Mod Organizer.

Load order

Unlike Vortex, Mod Organizer uses a mod list system, with each mod having a priority index in a list. Mods at the bottom of the list overwrite mods that are above them. You can disable/enable mods by ticking the checkbox next to each mod's name.

Resolving conflicts

Mod Organizer will show an "lightning" icon next to a mod's name (in the Conflicts tab) if the mod is conflicting with another mod. Selecting the mod will highlight all mods that overwrite it in red, and all mods that get overwritten by it in green.

You can also see all loaded files from your installed mods in the Data tab at the right side of Mod Organizer window.

Method C: Manual Installation

Follow this method if you installed your mods manually.

General load order

You can run RyuModManager.exe to manage your load order. As explained here, the last mod in the mod list has the highest priority, and will override files from other mods whenever there are conflicts.

Remember to click Save after you're done with modifying the load order, or your changes won't be saved.


Disabling a mod

Run RyuModManager.exe and untick the checkbox next to the mod that you went to disable. Click Save to save your changes. This will disable the mod, although it will not remove it from your \mods\ folder.
