Competitor Comparisons
A modding utility for Starfield and some Elder Scrolls and Fallout games.
Pros of LOOT
- Lightweight and focused solely on load order optimization
- Supports a wider range of games beyond just Bethesda titles
- Community-driven masterlist updates for accurate sorting
Cons of LOOT
- Lacks comprehensive mod management features
- Requires manual intervention for complex mod setups
- Limited plugin conflict detection compared to Nexus Mod Manager
Code Comparison
LOOT (C++):
void Game::LoadOrderMethod(const std::filesystem::path& gamePath) {
if (Id() == GameId::tes5)
return LoadOrderMethod::timestamp;
else
return LoadOrderMethod::textfile;
}
Nexus Mod Manager (C#):
public override void SetModLoadOrder(IList<string> p_lstModLoadOrder) {
string[] strPlugins = p_lstModLoadOrder.ToArray();
File.WriteAllLines(PluginsFilePath, strPlugins);
OnLoadOrderChanged();
}
The code snippets show different approaches to handling load order. LOOT determines the method based on the game, while Nexus Mod Manager directly writes the load order to a file.
