What does LOOT do?
Sometimes it’s hard to figure out, which load order is the best to keep the game stable. Especially if you have a good amount of active mods.
LOOT helps you with that. It will automatically sort your load order, so you don’t have to do this on your own. The program checks incompatibilities and missing requirements and gives you plugin-specific messages, like usage notes and bug warnings.
The program is designed for:
- TES III: Morrowind
- TES IV: Oblivion
- Nehrim: At Fate’s Edge
- TES V: Skyrim
- TES V: Skyrim Special Edition
- TES V: Skyrim VR
- Fallout 3
