Load Order

Use LOOT as a check, then make DML match the known TTW base order.

Use LOOT as a check

LOOT can help identify missing masters, warnings, dirty plugins, and order suggestions. Do not treat it as a magic button, especially once Android-specific choices and DML handoff steps are involved.

  1. Run LOOT on PC or in a Windows environment that can see the same plugins.
  2. Read warnings before sorting.
  3. Compare the result against the TTW base shape below.
  4. Use DML to match the order on Android.
  5. Write plugin files again after changing the order.

Plugin order and mod priority are not the same thing

Plugin order controls ESM and ESP loading. Mod priority controls loose file conflicts. DML has to handle both, but they are different lists.

Sorting plugins in Droid Mod Loader

  1. Open DML.
  2. Select the Pocket Wastelands profile.
  3. Deploy mods.
  4. Run plugin discovery.
  5. Enable the guide plugins you installed.
  6. Put official New Vegas files first, Fallout 3 files next, preorder packs after the DLC masters, then TaleOfTwoWastelands.esm, then YUPTTW.esm.
  7. Export or write plugin outputs.
  8. Copy the generated files into the GameNative FalloutNV AppData path.

Starter loadorder.txt

This is the starter order for the base TTW install plus YUPTTW. Most essential utilities are NVSE DLL plugins and do not add ESP or ESM entries.

FalloutNV.esm
DeadMoney.esm
HonestHearts.esm
OldWorldBlues.esm
LonesomeRoad.esm
GunRunnersArsenal.esm
Fallout3.esm
Anchorage.esm
ThePitt.esm
BrokenSteel.esm
PointLookout.esm
Zeta.esm
CaravanPack.esm
ClassicPack.esm
MercenaryPack.esm
TribalPack.esm
TaleOfTwoWastelands.esm
YUPTTW.esm

Starter plugins.txt

The * means enabled. Use this as a template, then let DML discovery confirm the exact plugin names in your install.

*FalloutNV.esm
*DeadMoney.esm
*HonestHearts.esm
*OldWorldBlues.esm
*LonesomeRoad.esm
*GunRunnersArsenal.esm
*Fallout3.esm
*Anchorage.esm
*ThePitt.esm
*BrokenSteel.esm
*PointLookout.esm
*Zeta.esm
*CaravanPack.esm
*ClassicPack.esm
*MercenaryPack.esm
*TribalPack.esm
*TaleOfTwoWastelands.esm
*YUPTTW.esm

Where the files go

The usual Windows paths are:

%LOCALAPPDATA%/FalloutNV/plugins.txt
%LOCALAPPDATA%/FalloutNV/loadorder.txt

Inside the normal GameNative setup used by this guide, that usually means:

C:/users/xuser/AppData/Local/FalloutNV/

If the game launches as vanilla New Vegas, or if plugins are ignored, check this folder first.
