The easiest way to manipulate load order of your mods is by taking advantage of the way the game loads mods in alphabetical order.
Say I open packages\core\override and create a number of subfolders within and name them as follows, prefacing each with a letter label:
- A. Lower priority mods
- B. Twinception
- C. Higher priority mods
- D. Compatibility patches
It doesn't matter exactly how the folders are named so long as they will load in a particular order, which I believe is ASCII order, so 0-9 A-Z a-z. Personally, I number mine 1., 2.1., 2.2., 3. etc.
By installing particular mods in particular folders, you can easily control which mod will take precedence in the game. If a mod in folder A and a mod in folder B contain the same file, the version of the file in folder B will "overwrite" the file in folder A, and that will be the version that takes effect in game. A third version of the same file in folder D will take precedence over both mods.
