Seems the Furry apocalypse mod creates some trouble? how would i fix that?
it would be nice if your mod would be more Verbose in telling what exactly the issue is, instead of just throwing a error.

I found out what the exact prolem was. the "Furry Apocalypse Variety pack" had "/FurryApocalypse" in both "Require" and "LoadModBefore" fields in the Modinfo. the error pointed at the wrong mod :). my optinion. try to catch the error and default to load LoadModBefore as that is then clearly intended by the author.

Thanks Tidurian.
yes, you are right, the error "Dependencyes Cycle Detected for \FurryApocalypse" could occur because the require option implies that the mod specified there (FurryApocalypse) should be loaded before "Furry Apocalypse Variety pack", but the loadModBefore option implies that the mod for which this option is specified should be loaded before those listed in this option (i.e. "Furry Apocalypse Variety pack" should be loaded before "FurryApocalypse"). which is a contradiction.

I will try to add the detection of such contradictions. Thanks again.

by the way, it's interesting to know how the vanilla automatic sorting algorithm handles this error

to my Knowledge i think the Vanilla sorting dosnt applies a sorting to "require"
Vanilla treats it as "it just has to be enabled"

Vanilla modinfo supports "loadModAfter=" and "loadModBefore=" and does not aply sorting to "require="

Ah! since i have your attention for a bit. please update the german translation. The Current :
UI_MLOS_CurrentRules_Tooltip = "Das geltende Recht",
is telling "The applicable law" (goverment laws)
Better would be "Aktuelle Regeln"
"thats more literally "Current Rules" than goverment laws :)

Ok

Mod has worked for me for a while. Today, clicking on "Sort Order" yields an error and does not show the window. My game is essentially hung here.

Clarifying: this only happens when trying to "Sort" from the mod list for an existing save. This previously worked on the same save yesterday. :-/

I think I found it: https://psteamcommunity.yuanyoumao.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3416696068 seems to be absent from the workshop suddenly. This appears to be breaking my save AND breaking the sorter. It may be worth considering a warning message in the sorter as well as handling the disappearance of mods causing the sort mod to put the program into an unrecoverable state.

@eight, Great find!
I was able to reproduce the problem locally too, but this error has nothing to do with my mod. This should be reported to the game developers.

The problem is that when the mod sorting window is initialized, it tries to load information about active mods, but when the list of active mods contains mods that are deleted (whether they do not exist locally, or have been unsubscribed from them), then there is a reference to an object that does not exist, because of which the game crashes

@M1ST0R
Please try to reproduce the same error but with the disabled "Mod Load Order Sorter [b42]"

judging from the error text this is a vanilla bug (see discussion above)

without mod all works fine, but i need this masterpiece. auto load sorter in vanilla are broken
