Upgrading FIS1 to FIS2 ("Old FallUI - Item Sorter" to "FIS - The NEW FallUI Item Sorter")
The mod The NEW FallUI Item Sorter (FIS2) (where this article is) was made with compatibility as main focus. So the upgrade from FIS1 (Old FallUI - Item Sorter) is pretty simple.
This article describes the best practices for upgrading existing installations and give hints for the process.
The instructions varies based on how you have installed FIS1, so this article is divided into these sections:
- 1) From FIS1 with with pre-made patch ESP(s)
- 2) From FIS1 with Complex Sorter
Select the one matching your install - If you don't know what Complex Sorter is, go to section 1).
1) From FIS1 with with pre-made patch ESP(s)
Because the pre-made patches include record overrides, this could be problematic to remove them from an existing game. So there are two possibilities here:
1a) The safe way - Keep FIS1 ESPs and install FIS2 on top
- Install FIS2 - Choose mode Basic in the installer
- Install FallUI - Icon Library
- Order the FIS-Naming-Weap-Armo.esp after your existing FIS1 esp(s) in your load order
1b) Full upgrade - "I wan't all the good new stuff!"
- Remove FIS1 - Tip: You can also just keep the "old" tag configuration for compatibility with older mods (but: remove ALL ESPs of FIS1)
- Install FIS2 - Choose mode Basic in the installer
- Install FallUI - Icon Library
- Order the FIS-Naming-Weap-Armo.esp late in your load order
2) From FIS1 with Complex Sorter
Upgrading this case is pretty easy. Follow these simple steps:
- Install FIS2 - Choose mode Pro in the installer
- Install FallUI - Icon Library
- (Optional) Remove FIS1 - Tip: You can also just keep the "old" tag configuration for compatibility with older mods
- Generate your patch as usual
