Start Mod Organizer 2.
 
Select LOOT in the executable selection box and click [Run].
 
Find the icon that looks like a horizontal bar graph (mouse over text should state "Sort Plugins") and click it.
 
After some processing, the calculated load order is displayed in the right pane of LOOT. Click the [Apply] button.
 
Click the [X] on the title bar to close LOOT.
 
 
 
All mods currently installed will now be ordered based upon the master list downloaded by the tool and the user metadata that was created while installing mods in this guide. However, they may not be in the order the plugins themselves are expecting. To fix this perform the following:
 
 
 
Open SSEEdit in Mod Organizer 2 and click [OK].
 
Select all ESMs/ESPs and select "Sort Masters".
 
Click the [X] in the upper right-hand corner, uncheck "Backup plugins", and click [OK].

==Fores New Idles in Skyrim - FNIS==
 
 
 
Fores New Idles in Skyrim, hereafter referenced as FNIS is designed to allow new skeleton and animation designs not possible with the default Skyrim engine such as new animations, gender-specific animations, poses, etc. This involves the use of an external patcher GenerateFNIS_for_Users.exe which will create specialized .hkx files to match the current skeleton and animation configuration. Perform the following (and again every time animation mods are changed):
 
 
 
# Start Mod Organizer 2 and check that your overwrite folder is empty.
 
# Select FNIS in the executable selection box and click [Run]. The FNIS main interface should appear, if it does not, review the installation section for FNIS.
 
# In the Available Patches at the bottom of the window, check the box adjacent to '''GENDER Specific Animations''', '''SKELETON Arm Fix''', '''tktk1's TK Dodge/Ultimate Combat'''.
 
# Click the [Update FNIS Behavior] button and wait for a message to appear in the window stating "X animations for Y mods successfully included.".
 
# Click [Exit]
 
# Mod Organizer 2 has automatically placed the generated files into the overwrite folder in Mod Organizer.
 
# Now Create a mod called <span style="color:Gold">FNIS Output</span> from these files.
 
# Activate the mod.
 
 
 
For reference, the FNIS Output folder should contain the following:
 
meshes folder containing new hkx behaviour files.
 
scripts folder containing 3 compiled scripts for version tracking.
 
tools folder containing logs.
 
 
 
==Time for a Quick Test==
 
Now would be a good spot to test your installation by:
 
# Starting the game.
 
# from the main menu open the console.
 
# Type coc then the appropriate command.

<span style="color:Orange">Idiot check: Make sure the following Bash Tags have been set before creating the Bash Patch<span>

Wrye Bash is a tool that can be used to install/manage mods but more importantly it has tools to merge levelled lists and can even merge entire mods together into a "Bashed Patch". Perform the following (and again every time mods change with an esp):
 
 
 
Start Mod Organizer 2 and check that your overwrite folder is empty.
 
Select Wrye Bash in the executable selection box and click [Run]. The Wrye Bash main interface should appear.
 
Scroll down the mod list and right-click Bashed Patch, 0.esp and select "Rebuild Patch".
 
A popup asking to deactivate mods prior to patching may appear. If a mod is marked "NoMerge", simply uncheck the box next to it then click [Ok]. This will deactivate the mod files not marked "NoMerge" and they will be merged into the bashed patch.
 
Check only "Merge Patches", "Import Inventory", "Tweak Settings", and "Leveled Lists" in the left pane.
 
Click on "Tweak Settings" in the left pane.
 
Right-click "AI: Max Actors" and select "50".
 
Right-click "Arrow: Speed" and select "1.4".
 
Right-click "Combat: Max Actors" and select "30".
 
Right-click "Crime: Alarm Distance" and select "1200".
 
Right-click "Timescale" and select "15".
 
Check the box next to "AI: Max Actors", "Arrow: Speed", "Combat: Max Actors", "Crime: Alarm Distance" and "Timescale" to apply them.
 
Click [Build Patch] at the bottom of the window. A dialogue asking to activate it may appear, click [Yes].
 
Exit Wrye Bash by clicking the [X] in the top right corner.
 
 
The Bashed Patch, 0.esp is automatically moved to the Mod Organizer/Overwrite directory. You can make it into it's own mod like shown for the smashed patch or you can leave it in your overwrite.

It is not required by the game from this point onwards, unless re-generating xLODGen</div>
 
 
 
{{Notice|Ultra Trees will significantly increase your VRAM usage.  If you have a 4GB or less graphics card consider generating traditional LOD.
 
To set traditional lod, first leave TreeLOD as "1" in DynDOLOD_SEE.ini. Second make sure "Generate Tree Lods" is checked within DynDOLOD.}}
 
<span style="color:Orange">Idiot check makes sure SSE-Terrain-Tamriel.esm is deactivated before running TexGEN or DynDOLOD</span>
 
 
 
For the purpose of this guide will be generating Ultra Trees using DynDOLOD.
 
 
 
# Make sure DynDOLOD Standalone is installed.
 
# Navigate to <DynDOLOD 2.63 Path>\Edit Scripts\DynDOLOD\cache
 
# Delete all files except becauseofreasons.txt.
 
# Navigate to <DynDOLOD 2.63 Path>\Edit Scripts\DynDOLOD\
 
# Open up the DynDOLOD_SSE.ini
 
# Change the line TreeLOD= to "0"
 
 
 
Now We can Begin the process of generating DynDOLOD.
 
 
 
==TexGen64==
 
Make sure TexGen64.exe has been added as an executable in Mod Organizer 2.
 
Run TexGen64 using Mod Organizer 2.
 
In the popup window Select where you want the TexGen Output to go (For the purpose of the guide I recommend selecting the Mod Organizer 2 Mods Folder).
 
In the popup window change LOD Texture Size to [512].
