Starfield
's load order is typically set by default to organize plugins by date modified rather than a set priority. This Starfield.ccc file allows you to manually set your load order without relying on additional programs or plugins.Both Skyrim and Fallout 4 have similar files for managing load orders, and this approach leverages a similar mechanism for Starfield. A basic Starfield.ccc file is included in the download tab for your convenience.Benefits of Using Starfield.ccc
  • Manual Control: Provides manual control over load order, ensuring compatibility and stability.
  • Easy to Edit: Easily add or remove plugins by editing a simple text file.
  • No Additional Software Needed: Eliminates the need for third-party load order management tools.
