Hi NAZ2222
I'm not trying to upset you, but the above the order posted should be irrelevent.
Here's why:

Lets say we have a file - We'll use File A as an example - inside is 3 bits of data (a,c,e) - Giving File A(a,c,e)

Example_1 - Before/After installation - We have 3 mods no conflictions.

Mod 1 = file A(a,c,e) - file D(a,c,e) - file G(a,c,e)
Mod 2 = file B(a,c,e) - file E(a,c,e) - file H(a,c,e)
Mod 3 = file C(a,c,e) - file F(a,c,e) - file I(a,c,e)


Doesn't matter what order they are installed - no files are the same - no conflicts.

Example_2 - Before installation - We have 3 mods with conflictions.

Mod 1 = file A(b,c,e) - file D(a,c,e) - file G(a,c,e)
Mod 2 = file A(a,d,e) - file E(a,c,e) - file H(a,c,e)
Mod 3 = file A(a,c,f) - file F(a,c,e) - file I(a,c,e)


The file A is used by all the mods and so a confliction. Which ever mod is last installed will be the file A used. So if we install in same order we really actually get.

Example_2 - After installation.

Mod 1 = file A(a,c,f) - file D(a,c,e) - file G(a,c,e)
Mod 2 = file A(a,c,f) - file E(a,c,e) - file H(a,c,e)
Mod 3 = file A(a,c,f) - file F(a,c,e) - file I(a,c,e)


As Mod 3 was installed last, all the mods use file A(a,c,f) - This is not the same as Example_2 - Before installation as Mod 1 & Mod 2 have altered on installation. You can change the order but it only will change which file A the mods use.
This might not cause problems and you might not see a difference, but as you can see the mods will be changed.

It has to be in this order, because there are 3 mod's that share files,
1-OLC 2.4.3 must be put on top of water stream! it's in the readme
2-azanovic sh4 effects must be the last of it all, and must be put on top lifeboats(with compatibilitie fix that comes in extra)

So yea only 3 of this modes really account for the order, but I thinks it's easier this way! If I dont put those mods in that order my game crashes when loading

Maybe it's just a bug im my configuration
