Load Order
« on: November 06, 2009, 01:13:36 PM »
I know the game loads everything in alphabetical order, but what happens if the files are in different subfolders? Will they still load in the correct order or should I put them together?

If I have to put them in the same folder, can InTeen be in a subfolder or should it be left in the main downloads folder where I have it?

it loads like this:

folder a\file a
folder a\file d
folder a\file f
folder b\file c
folder c\file b
folder c\file e

Not 100% sure if files in the Downloads folder itself load first or last.

So I should, just to be 100% sure they load in the correct order, put the files in the same folder.

Subfolder your CC.  It will save you time and grief when you decide to change things up.  Putting all your mods in the same folder will not necessarily ensure they load in the correct order.  Some mods that are alphabetically ahead of another must actually load after. 

I think most people here subfolder mods by the creator.  In most cases that will solve any load order problems.  With Inteen, I've had it in the Downloads folder, and in a subfolder named zInteen.  The files in the Downloads folder will load last in any case, and with mods I use, I want Inteen loading last.  Flavor Packs should be in the same folder with the main Inteen files.

Everything in my Downloads folder is subfoldered with the exception of new CC, InTeen and another mod that didn't work when I subfoldered it. I can't remember what it is off the top of my head. New CC gets subfoldered when I know it hasn't caused me any problems in game.

I'm trying to get Squinge's Pregnant Sims Wear Any Outfit mod to load after InTeen because I found a thread on here that said it has to load after in order to work.

So I guess my question really is, if I want the Squinge mod to load after InTeen, should I have InTeen and the Squinge mod in the same folder? Or will having InTeen in a folder named 'InTeen' and the Squinge mod in my 'Mods and Hacks' folder mean that InTeen will load first?

Everything in "Inteen" will load before anything in "Mods and Hacks."
