Gamer & Modder
I am a passionate gamer who has been playing video games for over three decades. I've been an active member of the Bethesda gaming and modding community since Fallout 4 mods became available to Xbox, and I've been helping Xbox and PlayStation players with load orders since then. I've been a quiet member of the Nexus modding community since 2010, modding Skyrim privately since 2014. Prior to that I made private village modules for Neverwinter Nights for story visuals for stories I wrote. Now that Starfield is out, I'm elbows deep in modding the genre I love.
Load Order Assistance
It wasn't until Fallout 4 mods became a thing on Xbox that my passion for gaming turned into a passion to help others also Survive Load Order Disorder and to help them and other modders understand that there are limitations to modding Xbox One.
I am a part of the Xbox and PC modding community through Discord. You can catch me on the official Bethesda Community Discord as @oddlittleturtle. I also provide load order and modding support to Collective Modding and other discords as needed.

Fallout 4 Load Order Survival Guide
The Survival Guide has humble roots that began in February of 2017 when it was just a list of Xbox One mods that worked together using Wahker’s original load order list that had descended from other Bethesda Fallout games. Over the last eight years, as Turtle began making their own mods for Fallout 4, that original list has expanded into a full FAQ and Framework Guide to help users learn with example mods for placement.
Former Parent Thread
The original Parent Thread was created by VagorDacil and used Wahker's original load order list. As mods were made and more information became available about how the FO4 Creation Engine is different from Skyrim's, Turtle made a new list for TheJeepDriver's new thread. Jeep did the design work for the Google sheet using Turtle's list and maintained the Fallout 4 Load Order FAQ and Assistance Thread on Bethesda.net. The thread and framework would not be what it is today without Jeep's passion for organization and enthusiasm to start a new thread when the original was languishing with old data.
Parent Server
The server is dedicated to Fallout 4, Skyrim, and Starfield console mods so specify which game you wish to receive help for. If you see a mod author assisting in the load order channels, pay attention. They know their mods better than anyone else. The server would not be what it is today without the assistance of CrayonKit, Arthmoor, OldMansBeard, and other mod authors who have stopped by over the years, as well as our helpful and knowledgable moderation team. Download a template, fill it out, and ask your questions. Stick around for the fun and chats!
Starfield Load Orders
I've not put together a full modding guide for Starfield as I have for Fallout 4. There's plenty of information within the FO4 guide that carries over to Starfield, such as do not uninstall mods in the middle of your game and mods at the bottom of the list that aren't ESL files will have priority over the top of the list.
