Is there anyway I can reliably integrate Skyre into this game as well?
Are there any problems with this load order?
I notice that with predator vision and Better Vampires I have two different vampire class skills for night vision...

I really think it would be nice for Skyre to integrate all this stuff and 1K textures into a full overhaul...

Yep, use BOSS to automatically sort your mods into the correct load order.

I'll be lazy, and quote myself from an earlier post:

The nexus page is at http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/6 but it's hosted at http://code.google.com/p/better-oblivion-sorting-software/downloads/list. The name stands for "Better Oblivion Sorting Software" but it's been updated to work perfectly with Skyrim (and some other Beth games) too.

It's a great and simple-to-use utility - download the 2.1.1 installer, run it, select the option of Skyrim as the game you want it to check - and it'll automatically check and arrange your load order.

There are a few mods it doesn't yet recognise so you'd need to arrange those yourself until those mods get added to the BOSS masterlist, but it comes with an option to report those mods so the gurus maintaining BOSS can check where they best fit in a typical load order and update it. Officially, it's supported as a tool to help you arrange your load order rather than a complete solution - but unofficially in most situations you can rely on it to get the load order completely correct.

I've had quite a few people report CTDs and "bugs" with my mods, but when I've suggested downloading and using BOSS to arrange their load orders, magically these CTDs and bugs seem to disappear for them...
