I wasn't sure if this should go here or the official 7th Heaven forum, but since this one has load order suggestions, I decided on here.
First of all, I would just like to say that this mod has changed everything for me. Last year I attempted to mod the game using Bootleg, and after nearly a week of aggravating troubleshooting, I abandoned that attempt. I would get the game working fine, only to find the next day something was broken. This mod couldn't have been any easier, and am eagerly awaiting additions to the mods catalog!
I'm writing to note differences I encountered with my working mod order compared to the one given in the tutorial. Step 5 states:
IMPORTANT: Use the up/down arrow keys to arrange the mods in the following load order:
Miscellaneous - Red Werewolf
Miscellaneous - CHaOS (Character Overhaul Seven)
Gameplay - Difficulty and Story
Battle Models - Weapons
Any order thereafter (I go alphabetically)
I found that in my game, CHaOS was overwriting any settings in the "Field Models - Characters, Enemies, Objects" and "Battle Models - Characters" catalogs. What I had to do to prevent conflict was put CHaOS below these 2, and then turn off Field Models from the former catalog. My order then looked like this and is running fine:
Battle Models - Enemies
Field Models - Characters, Enemies, and Objects (field models turned off)
Gameplay - Difficulty and Story
Battle Models - Weapons
Animations
Spell Textures
Battle Models - Characters
CHaOS
etc, etc, etc.
