All I'm asking people to do is take a look at the list of mods I have and give me a couple answers:

- Do you see any obvious conflicts?
- Do you see anything that will really require the use of BOSS to sort the load order?
- Do you see anything that will require Wrye Bash to resolve conflicts with a bashed patch?
- Do you see any mods that you have had serious trouble with, and which I am like to end up tearing my hair out over?

I am definitely NOT asking anybody to go and look up these mods and do any research on the Nexus to answer my questions - I'm only asking people if they see any conflicts based on what they ALREADY know about these mods.

Except for a handful of exceptions, I've largely stuck to mods that have at least gotten further than version 1.0 (a subjective criterion anyway) and paid special attention to some mods that had a large number of endorsemants - not that endorsemants are a sure guide either - and avoided mods which set off my Spidey-Sense and made me afraid something might be glitchy about them.

So in these 47 mods is there anything that any of you can see as presenting a problem offhand? Does it look like using BOSS or Wrye Bash will be a necessity?

Thanks in advance for the help, folks.

I'd recommend BOSS and Wrye Bash already. Looks like you have a few mods that would benefit from a leveled list bash. And BOSS is just useful. If you need to sort stuff differently, let BOSS give you a basic overview and then change a few.

And just make sure ASIS gets run after the load order is set in place, and then loaded last. Doesn't look like anything that'll set off a CTD-fest, though, should all be fine. More Dynamic Shadows can have a hefty FPS hit indoors, though, that might be surprising unless you have a beefy computer.

BOSS will always be a neccessity when running more than one mod that adds the same kind of items to the game, but some people do not use it. You do have multiple mods that make changes to the Vanilla Magic system, and BOSS will help.
I believe that a player should get used used to using BAIN as thier only Installer and the basic parts of Wrye Bash as soon as possible. I used to be a big fan of OBMM in 2009, then I was forcefully converted to a Wrye Bash user, I would never give it up now.

I agree with Plutoman and bradleyh. You're going to need Wrye Bash for that list to work properly.

And if you're not sure what you're doing as far as load order is concerned you should really consider using BOSS too. As far as I'm concerned BOSS has no steep learning curve, as Bash does. It's very easy: just click and run and you're done.

Bash, I think, is a little harder to setup and operate for many folks. But I'm sure any of us would be more than happy to help you get it up and running if you have problems.
