I just want everyone to know that as of May of this year (2023) LOOT is no longer available to be downloaded under Skyrim SE, you have to go into modding tools to find it.

Great tutorial, short sweet and to the point, didnt even know loot was a thing until now

I just found you, I’m mad I didn’t sooner cause the combo of your voice and actual clear images to the guide help a lot. I’ve already set up mo2 about a month ago but man I had many 3 hour sleep night trying to figure out a lot on my own, but I got obsessed and now the game won’t stop giving my infinite T pose so if I got to figure out what to do, may I recommend to make a vid (or personally help) On what to do in case someone (like my thick headed ass) would need to reinstall everything making sure the mod files go too or recommendations for such events like maybe using that ssedit executable thing to clean files, I’d that would be the right course lol. Anyhow good job man.

I did everything but it won't show my load order in LOOT, it's showing the default Fallout NV load order (not even the mods I have for FNV)

Loot has been giving me error prelude update response errored. I didn't even install a single mod yet.

So I’ve run into a problem. When I link the executable into the drop-down bar on MO2 and try and run it nothing appears but when I open the executable through files it opens. Everything is on the same drive and LOOT detects Skyrim. I’m just lost on why the it doesn’t run through the MO2

[chrisconley-kdvv]

how badly does one need loot? because there is no on screen prompts for me when i try to open it.

Isn't LOOT already available in MO2 by default, in Plugins tab through Sort function?

[misfit]

for some reason LOOT is hidden for me it says the author is updating the page

[saifkhaled]

If mod author didn't tell us where to put the plugin in what order, so i can put it in any order or let Loot Order handle it ??

I installed my skyrim on a different drive, & have tried to install loot where I thought it should go, didn't work. Tried again just with default file location install & it didn't work either, it doesn't pick up the game. Any idea's?

[autumnwade]

does LOOT solve conflicts and do anything with the overwrite in MO2?

[Beta_Mixes]

This doesn't actually help people that uses +100 mods, this should be tagged as a beginners tip or sorts, good video tho

[ridaneo]

No disrespect I love your tutorials but slow down a bit im trying to look at what you are doing and what the file looks like because just searching "LOOT" doesnt bring this up. So slow down just a bit I would appreciate it.
