Versions:
LOOT (Load Order Optimisation Tool) version 0.28.0, released by the LOOT Team as the twenty-first major iteration since the project began, belongs to the Gaming Utilities / Modding category and exists to solve the persistent problem of plugin load order for Bethesda-engine titles. By scanning a user’s installed mods for Starfield, The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind, IV: Oblivion, Nehrim: At Fate’s Edge, V: Skyrim and its Special-Edition, VR, Anniversary variants, plus Fallout 3, New Vegas, Fallout 4 and Fallout 4 VR, the application applies an always-updated masterlist together with a proprietary metadata system to arrange .esp, .esm and .esl files in the sequence the game engine expects. During the sort it cross-checks every record for conflicts, missing masters, version mismatches and known incompatibilities, then surfaces the findings in a colour-coded report that lists thousands of plugin-specific advisories ranging from minor cleaning hints to critical bug warnings. Users can override the automated order through drag-and-drop rules or by creating custom metadata cards that persist across LOOT updates, while advanced controls allow groups, priorities and bash-tag suggestions to be stored per profile. The resulting load order is written directly to the pertinent game’s AppData folder, after which LOOT continues to monitor the plugin table and re-flag problems whenever new content is added. Because the masterlist is curated by the wider modding community and fetched on every launch, the sort reflects the latest discovered issues without manual list maintenance. LOOT is available for free on get.nero.com, with downloads provided via trusted Windows package sources such as winget, always delivering the latest version and supporting batch installation of multiple applications.
