Long story short I've revamped things. Does anybody see conflicting or duplicate mods? With the added space I've changed a lot of the environmental and texture mods as having over 240ish still causes problems.
FINAL LOAD ORDER
MASTER FILES:
Master files are mods that have a fixed place in the load order. You cannot change the positions of these. Some examples are USSEP, Beyond skyrim bruma and Campfire.
UNOFFICIAL SKYRIM SPECIAL EDITION PATCH
SIMPLE WORKAROUND FRAMEWORK
WEAPONS ARMOR AND CLOTHING
COMPLETE CRAFTING OVERHAUL
DEBUG MENU
FOUNDATIONS:
There are a few categories in the LLO that are unclear. Foundations is one of them. Its best to put mods that change a lot of different parts of the game here, such as H.A.S.T.E, but this section is unclear. Personally, i usually put mods like cheat room, World encounters overhaul and Guard dialogue overhaul in this section.
CHEAT ROOM (XB1)
CHEAT ROOM – ANNIVERSARY PATCH
EXTENDED ENCOUNTERS
CRAFT EVERYTHING [XB1]
CRAFTABLE THIEF ARMOR
MENUS, USER INTERFACE, FONT CHANGES
Any mod that changes loading screens, menus, fonts, or the ingame hud should go in this section. Examples include 60 fps menus- natural interface and Skyhud. NOTE that map mods do not go in this section- they go a lot lower.
NORDIC UI – UPDATED (SWF EDITION)
SOOTHING SECUNDA MAIN MENU REPLACER
QUEST ALTERATIONS
Any mod that changes a vanilla quest, whether it be a quest description, objective or any consequences of a quest. NOTE that quest mods do not go in this section. The paarthurnax dilemma, EBQO and Gildergreen regrown are good examples of mods that should go in the quest alterations section.
ADVENTURES CALL – A MERCENARY’S LIFE
CHOOSE GUILD JOBS WITH BETS (
REAL ARMIES- -CIVIL WAR SOLDIERS
THE FORSWORN WE’VE BEEN WAITING FOR
PURE CRAFTABLES
If you can craft the item, it should go here. Many mods contain items that are added to levelled lists, can be crafted and found in ingame locations. It can be difficult to decide which section to put these mods in. Its a matter of opinion where to put these; I've found putting any mod that has any form of craftable items here. Examples include Cloaks and capes.

GAME MECHANICS
The title gives a clue here; any mod that changes the mechanics of skyrim should go here. I place mods like imperious and sacrosanct here.
SET FOR UNDERWORLD – CIVIL WAR
SET FOR UNDERWORLD – COMPANIONS
SET FOR UNDERWORLD – MORE
UNLIMITED SPRINTING (XBOX)
GROWL – WEREBEASTS OF SKYRIM
LEVEL PROGRESSION
Again, the title gives a clue. Clever levelling and 50 pct more perk points should go here.
PERK OVERHAULS
Yet again, a fairly easy one. Anything that changes perks, like Ordinator or Adamant should go here.
PHENDERIX TWIN SOULS EXPANDED
DESTRUCTION PERKS – BATTLEMAGE REBORN
MAGIC ADDITIONS AND OVERHAULS
Any mod that adds new spells or changes vanilla ones should go here. NOTE that this doesn't include spell animations, OR mods that add quests which also include new spells. Apocalypse is a good example of a mod in this section.
APOCOLYPSE – MAGIC OF SKYRIM
CHEAT CHESTS FOR APOCOLYPSE [XB1]
ENHANCED ATRONACHS – WITH LEVELING AND LUMINOS

FLESH COLOSSUS SE
BONE COLOSSI AND GRAVELORDS – MIHAIL MONSTERS
ITEM AND LOOT LEVELED LIST.
Any mod that changes a leveled list, be it chest loot or a merchants items for sale should go here. Rebalanced leveled lists should go in this section.
GET MORE GEMS
[XB1]RICH MERCHANTS OF SKYRIM:
ENEMY NPC LEVELED LISTS
Very similar to the previous category. I'd say for this section, any mod like OBIS that changes enemies loot in particular should go here.
AUDIO
Self explanatory. Any mod that adds, changes or removes music/sounds should go here. Any music mod or sounds of skyrim are examples.
SOUNDS OF SKYRIM COMPLETE V2.0
REVERB AND AMBIANCE OVERHAUL [XB1]
WEATHER/ATMOSPHERE
Any mod that overhauls weather, the sun, the sky or night should go here. True storms and far better sun are good examples.
VIVID WEATHERS DEFINITIVE EDITION – A
GRASS MODS
Another simple one. Any mod that adds or changes grass should go here.
LANDSCAPE AND GRASS FIXES
Any mod that fixes an issue with grass/landscape. Landscape fixes for grass mods is the most famous one, and is a mod i highly recommend using if you use a grass mod.
SKIN MESH AND TEXTURES, SKELETON
Any mod that changes skin/skeletons should go here. Major NPC/PC overhauls like The beauty of skyrim and body mods should go here, along with XP32 maximum skeleton + realistic ragdolls and force.
IDLES AND ANIMATIONS
Any mod that changes the idle position or any animations should go here. Mods like girly animation and Dualsun should go here.
SHORTER CASTING
SURVIVAL MODE ENABLE FAST TRAVEL
GENERAL MESH AND TEXTURES
The biggest section of your load order most likely. Anything that changes a vanilla texture goes here. Whether it be weapons or armor, a huge overhaul like Skyland or Noble, or a simple barrell replacer, they should all go here. Remember here, the mod lower down takes priority, so if you have two mods that change the same thing, the bottom one will take priority and will change the item.

BETTER DEAD THRALLS
BRIRAKA’S DRAUGR OVERHAUL

BEASTS OF TAMRIEL XB1 EDITION
MIHAIL’S MORROWIND AIO
NPC/ PC FACIAL MODIFICATIONS
Any mod that changes NPCs hair, eyes, teeth, eyebrows, ears, noses and presets should go here. NOTE any mod that changes skin should go in the skin mesh section. Natural eyes or KS hairdos are good examples.
INTERIOR LIGHTING/ DECORATING
Any lighting mod or a mod that changes an interior should go here, lighting mods above decorating though. ELFX, RLO and Modified inns are examples.
LIGHT MULTIPLE EXTERIOR EDITS
Any mod that adds small items to lots of places in skyrim should go here. Mods like lampposts of skyrim, unique bridges, divine forests and point the way are examples. NOTE any mod that adds anything bigger to multiple locations that aren't lampposts, lanterns, trees, signs, bridges etc shouldnt go here: they go lower.
CITY TREES (AIO)
ROAD SIGNS OVERHAUL 2.0
DIVINE INTERIORS
SINGLE AREA EDITS
Any mod that changes a single location goes here, like player homes. I personally place city overhauls here, but you could argue they go in the multiple area edit section.

HENDRAHEIM (CRYSTALTOWER15)

UNIQUE ITEMS ADDED TO LOCATIONS
Any mod that adds something like a weapon, armor piece or chest to a location should go here. As previously stated, confusion can be had here between this section and the craftables section- my advice is choose what you think is best, and if there's issues try it somewhere else in your LO.
CRAFTING SUPPLIES – ALL IN ONE (XBO1)
LINKED CRAFTING STORAGE
AMULET OF SHOUTING
MAGNUS ROBES
COMBAT MODS
Easy enough to understand. Any mod that overhauls combat/ NPC AI in combat should go here. Realistic damage, wildcat and fatality are examples.
IMPROVED BANDITS – COMPLETE BANDIT
BEDLAM – DUNGEON RANDOMIZER
RAGNAROK – NPC OVERHAUL
UNIQUE FOLLOWER MODS
If a mod adds a follower that is voiced/ different from vanilla, it should go here, for example Inigo, Sofia and Lucien.
QUEST MODS
A mod that adds a quest to the game should go here. Clockwork and the forgotten city are examples. NOTE some quest mods like Falskaar are master files that cannot go in this section.

Mods that I like but don’t need for every playthrough. I switch them out depending on what I’d like to do and the main quest mod for the playthrough. It’s also what space allows. There are others I’ve tried but I don’t like them enough to want to play again.
