    LOOT can't sort plugins anymore. It shows 'Error: Operation canceled' every time I click 'Sort Plugins'. It never happened before.

      The latest (0.26.0) LOOT versions from GitHub (.EXE and .7z) and from this mod on NexusMods, were all uploaded and checked in VirusTotal by me, and only URLHaus (which I have never  heard of before) reported it malicious, whereas remaining 96 antimalware services reporting it as clean. I've further scanned these LOOT files on my PC in reputed antimalware tools BitDefender, MBAM and Windows Defender, and they reported them as clean.
      So it's a false positive by URLHaus, do not worry.

      TLDR: We can safely use this new LOOT version 0.26.0 from here or GitHub.

    Someone save me from my stupid. i did the curious cellular technician thing and tampered with the path file and intall path in LOOT settings and now when i set it back to the install path of ESObliv and the oblivesm Loot just tells me that there was an error and to check the log that my blind ass cant find. i tried uninstalling LOOT in hopes a clean install would undo my stupid but it didnt. can someone educate a mod novice?

    Update: you can go to 
    C:\Users\(you)\AppData\Local\LOOT
    to see you log txt file. it'll tell you your errors if anyone does something silly like me. also you can go to "file" in loot and hit "open loot data folder" to get to the txt file. the file still doesn't make much since to me though so im gonna look at it a while to learn from my BS and post lol

      Here's a copy of the error log. maybe a more experience person can make sense of this but to me it doesm't make sense since it's a clean install now. :\

      Update: DO NOT DO THIS UNLESS YOURE MORE EXPERIENCED THAN ME. but for documentation purposes this is what fixed it for me tentatively. instead of uninstalling the entire mod from Program files and deleted EVERYTHING, i just went to file in loot open the data folder, and went to the loot root folder and deleted it( not the one in program files!). when i opened loot again it automaticaly loaded the setting back to when i first installed it. now it sorts and updates like normal. 

      Moral guys: dont be me and mess with s#*! lol

    Is this safe to download? I keep getting a message that it doesn't have many loads and be sure it is safe before I open it. Probably something with software. I'm a noob at the PC stuff so just wanted to be sure. Was wanting to use the standalone version for Oblivion Remastered.

    Hey, i testet it with Oblivion Remaster and there is a problem with Vortex. They make different loadorders. When i sort it with LOOT i get on Vortex a Yellow messege that he will repair the Loadorder.

      Vortex needs to be updated to use libloot 0.26.1. Until then I would suggest to use standalone LOOT to sort your Oblivion Remastered load order.

      We pushed a few updates to the masterlist, so you shouldn't see that issue anymore.

      Does this mean that I don't need LOOT and can just use Vortex's suggested load order?

    I was wondering if Oblivion Remaster will be supported by Loot - Load Order Optimisation Tool some point in the future, as it is essential to me as a Skyrim player.
