That one in particular comes up often when modding Skyrim SE as some Original Edition mods are compatible with Special Edition or can become compatible through minor tweaks so you may want to use them in your game.

A green chess piece with a question mark which denotes that a certain mod has come from a Nexus page different from game you are modding. Additionally, you can also hide any file from the conflicts tab by right clicking it and selecting hide, this will prevent it from being loaded in game and cause the preceding mod’s file to show up instead if there are no other overwrites.īack to modlist flags though, a few other noteworthy ones include a white lightning bolt which means that all files in a given mod are being overwritten effectively rendering it useless in your mod order.

You can also search for specific files or apply filters to the list. If you click on the advanced tab you can see a complete list of files included in the mod in one list and their conflicts or lack thereof. If you hit the bottom most drop down arrow you can also see any assets that don’t conflict with other mods.Ĭounters for these files are also provided so you can quickly see how many there are in each category. The upper list shows any files that are being overwritten by the mod you are looking at and the middle list shows any files from this mod that are being overwritten. If you double click on the mod in question and go to conflicts, in the general tab you can see a much more detailed list of asset conflicts. These can also quickly be seen in the mod list pane scrollbar. MO2 will highlight mods with overwritten files in green and mods with overwriting files in red. You can see which specific mods are doing the overwriting and are being overwritten simply by clicking on the mod in question.

Obviously both plus and minus mean that it contains both overwriting files and contains files that are also being overwritten. A yellow lightning bolt with a minus sign means that it has files that are being overwritten by a different mod. If you see a yellow lightning bolt with a plus beside it that means that the current mod has files that are overwriting another mod. To quickly see if a mod has any conflicting files simply look at it’s flags. Again, this allows assets like textures, meshes and scripts to overwrite each other with the assets contained in the lowest mod being dominant. You can also drag and drop mods around to change your installation order any time you wish. Obviously the first thing you can do is enable or disable mods from loading into your game by checking the white square located on the left side. So let’s talk about some of the very powerful features that the modlist has. Just surface level file name conflicts between assets like scripts, meshes, textures etc. Also keep in mind that just like we talked about in the LOOT video, the modlist does not effect plugin load order or which plugin records overwrite each other. This is unlike other mod managers that delete overwritten files from the data directory and revert them back if mods are uninstalled. The only difference is, because of the virtual file system used by MO2 (which essentially compiles your data folder at launch) redundant files are always kept in their separate mod data folders. The modlist is no different in that regard, the assets of mods towards the bottom of the list will overwrite any that are above them. What do I mean by this? Basically if you were installing mods to your Skyrim data folder manually or through the use of older mod managers like Nexus Mod Manager, you would be overwriting asset files from conflicting mods in your data directory with mods installed last overwriting those installed first. What you need to know is that not only is it a list of all the mods you’ve installed through Mod Organizer or any other means but it is also a dynamic installation order.

Ok, the mod list, this is the left pane of your MO2 window and I have referred to it by many names throughout the course of my guides but the final name I will be settling on is mod list.
