@Mercer the mod load order are being saved somewhere else, I believe in you C: drive (documents, appdata, applocal etc forgot where exactly). So when you uninstalled the game the mod order list still exists. When you reinstalled the game, Kenshi.exe just used that load order again. Any old mods will be organized like they where use to, and new mods are placed at the bottom.

I suggest just sticking to a collections, believe me I tried to manage my own 100+ mod list and about 10+ hours in I get consistent crashes from a mod conflict that I have no idea how to even start troubleshooting. Now I have 200+ mods enabled and no crashes and run as smooth as butter.

I used the second highest rated collection, the first one runs like ass on my PC. I also added about 10+ mods that are not present in that collection followed the general rule of mod organization [1 animation & performance, 2 animations, 3 Races, etc etc ] and so far so good.

@Golf thanks, really happy that this mod help people

@mercer I download the Kenshi Mod Manager from github and added this mod to organize everything. Great mod!

maybe i´m wrong, I used to use this mod a lot, but now, I reinstalled kenshi and use this, and for some reason, when I open my mod list, the mods are automatically ordered. did I miss something? or it has been always like this? now i want to repeat it becouse it seems when I use a new mod, it doesn´t order automatically. any ideas?

@Lio this does not sort the mod for you. This mod adds nothing to the game, but it appears during the mod manager so you can sort your mods properly.

For example in the mod manager

[1] Mod Organizer [UI, grfx, performance] = AKA this mod
UI Mod number 1
UI Mod number 2
Graphics Mod
Performance Mod
[2] Mod Organizer [ Animation] = AKA this mod
Ultimate Animation Overhaul
More animation mod
Etc animation mod
[3] Mod org races = AKA this mod
RPG races
Cat girl races
demon girl races
etc. races

And so on.

(AKA this mod)

also, where to put the Kenshi Load Order Organizer mod itself at?

Okay okay, can u put a pin for it in the discription for if ppl also ask about it?

top is 1, bottom is 11

like, should it (Top to bottom) go from 1 to 11 or 11 to 1?

question, do i need the 1st mod on top or the bottom of the list? (I.E what order should these mods be in inside the organizer)

Just came back to say that with Millerscouts old Mod Manager for visual reference on the back ground, these categories really help. Thanks!

Now, to put the effort we all do and the way Slamon helped with this together, in this: https://www.reddit.com/r/Kenshi/comments/1ehtrjb/i_created_an_automatic_mod_organizer and we are golden.

@slay_it, so you did what OP mentioned? You unchecked the mods, load it, load ops mods, then sorted the mods in the categories right?
I have like 300 mods, and im sure some work and some dont and i really need to optimize it

this is scam

nvm, i thought it gives mod a tag so you can sort them, but it makes categories so you can sort them better, after 4 hours of sorting 500 mods its all good now.

@Slay_it no youre not XD

need a video guide, im too dumb for this

@Ray Misuto thank you!
I use the Mod manager and doubted whether it was necessary to download it all ...

@team_on thats an interesting thumbnail lmao XD

nicee, go ahead!

Thanks for so amazing idea with mod sorting!

I expanded it with some more sorting tabs

@Bl4ckD3ad06 it goes underr no.7 - [Armor and Weapons]

where do limbs mods fit? in armor?

@ranger depends, if it change a whole lot of base game, it goes to number 8 afaik

This is not a mod but a separator and cheat sheet.


Its not to sort your mods for you, its to server as a visual bar to brake up the wall of words that the mod list is by default, into category's, and notes in the bars descriptions to tell you what order to put the mods in each category to keep them from rewriting each other in the wrong order.

You have to move them up and down yourself, ether thru the mod.cfg file in your games data folder, or using the mod sorter at the start up window of the game.

Dumb question: where do dialogue mods fit?

i have no idea how i am supposed to use this? i add these mods to my existing mods, thats it? or i have to go into my game files and re arrange files??, it says place mods manually according to guide above, i see no guide. this mod is confusing as hell.

How Do i open it?

@FluffnTough thanks a lot man!

This is pretty sick. Wish we had a proper mod manager/organizer but this definitely helps. 10/10 would correct load order again.

@Alan that yellow means something is missing form your afformention mod that you installed in your game, you need to search for it, or edit yourself on the FCS

If the MOD list displays black fonts and no yellow fonts when opening the MOD list, do I still need to adjust the order of MODs?

@HowHigh your welcome!

Thanks for this, makes things much simpler :)

@Marcus ever heard of reading?

so this mod dont do anything ???

@skull1Death appriciate it man, im grateful that people use my mods :)

Thanks friend this helped me fix my mod load order so the game will stop crashing now :-) many thanks. to y'all confused... install the mod and re-organized your mods based on the numbering of the mod categories :-)

@Damaskox when you subscribe to this mod and start Kenshi, it will come checked in the mod selection, i suggest you subscribe to KLOO One Stop Shop on this mod description

"Activate KLOO before starting your game -"
How do you activate KLOO?

thanks Baka, i appriciate it! ngl ive always want something like automatic mod for so long!

i've tired of waiting so in order to make modding this game a little bit easier i made this mod

Also thanks for the Organizer, Goblin, really helping me out here

(I didn't know these things existed so the last time I had mods, so I manually moved them around back then.)

Then after that, I search the name of a Mod which has had or is currently having issues with compatibility with other mods. Other stuff like Import Requirement and the Lack of Load Order Guidelines aren't really that important since I would be starting a new game and I've also just organized my Mods List.

After that, I would be doing what I just said Below this Comment (supposed to be above but no space) This Section of Text and then keep the New Notepad I used to organize my Mod List, just in case, then pasting it onto the Original Mods.cfg File WITH NOTEPAD and then saving, After that.

That's it, I'm done, I will then play Kenshi for hundreds of hours then get tired, then get curious again then search through the Workshop again, then Organize Again then badabing badaboom the Cycle Continues until Kenshi 2.

Basically

Follow this: C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Kenshi\data

Open the Mods.cfg file WITH Notepad, Copy all of it and Paste onto a new Notepad File so you can Organize it USING the Mod Organizers in this Mod, Aka KLOO

After Editing it all in the correct order, Do: Ctrl + S , to save your files. Do check again just in case.

Follow this guide here to know what stuff you're adding...
---------------------
oh btw

How I would do stuff like this is first I read the description of every single mod I've subscribed to just in case they're saying anything important, Patches in the Comments Sections, New Versions in the Comment Section, Required Mods.

@BUSHIDO are you still strunggling? im adding you, im waiting for your confirmation, i will help.

I already made the modlist with the categoy on it and if anyone is willing to help me correcting the correct the type of mod please please
