Make a backup of your load order files, plugins.txt and loadorder.txt, which are found in the %LOCALAPPDATA%\Skyrim folder.These are found in the %USERPROFILE%\Documents\My Games\Skyrim\Saves folder. To avoid disaster, you can backup your load order as follows: Also, if you're not starting a new game, changing your load order may cause in-game issues. It's worth double-checking the load order LOOT gives you, in case it's gotten something wrong. Is there anything I should bear in mind when switching to LOOT? However, BOSS is no longer maintained for games other than Oblivion, and LOOT generally provides superior functionality. Do I have to switch from BOSS to LOOT? No. Moving From BOSS What happened to BOSS v3? LOOT started development as BOSS v3, but it became a separate utility to avoid confusion once it became clear how little in common it had with BOSS v2. I'm on Windows 7 and get an error whenever I try to update the masterlist.How do I configure LOOT's masterlist updater to use it? I'm using a proxy to connect to the Internet.When LOOT updates the load order, it removes line breaks from plugins.txt and loadorder.txt.A game is installed, but LOOT cannot detect it.LOOT shows the wrong or no version number for some plugins.When I run LOOT it opens a blank white window.I'm getting Git errors when LOOT tries to update its masterlist.I'm running LOOT through Mod Organiser and it's not working.LOOT has warnings starting "Blocking load of resource at " in its LOOTDebugLog.txt.I get a "Sorting made no changes to the load order." message when trying to sort my load order.I've run LOOT with obsolete versions of some plugins and LOOT didn't tell me to update them! How come?.OK, but I still have specific reasons to have in my game a different load order than the one LOOT proposes.I'm suspicious that LOOT is ordering plugin X after plugin Y.How can the load order LOOT gives be right if BOSS gives a very different load order?.Does LOOT sort based only on plugin content?.How can LOOT not have unrecognised plugins?.I have a SkyProc patcher that runs BOSS.Is there anything I should bear in mind when switching to LOOT?.
