Important Information
Load Order and Compatibility
Shotties and More is a scripted light master. It has no dependencies on anything but Starfield.esm, does not touch or overwrite base records, and should not conflict with any other creation.
Other Creation Communication
Shotties and More assumes the Object Mod Templates will be vanilla. If using a creation that affects the same templates, there will be value adjustments not accounted for.
Are you new to modding Bethesda games?
Designing a Load Order is used for conflict resolution. Bethesda games read mods (creations) from top to bottom and whatever is at the bottom will override the top. They generally follow a "Rule of One" so the best practice until you understand how a modded game works is to only choose one of any kind of creation that overrides vanilla records to ensure compatibility.
A Load Order may not be required if you have no overwrites to vanilla records. However, a good modding practice is to keep like with like and download in the order you want the game to read the records. The same safe modding practices from Fallout 4 apply. Writing them down before downloading is also a good practice, especially in the event of internet connection failure.

Technical Information
For Modders
dn_CommonGun instance naming rules are updated at runtime and will not show up as merged in xEdit. Fully documented source scripts are included with the download.
For Players
Plan your game before downloading.
Scripted instance naming rules injection. Please do not remove a creation in the middle of your game and continue on the same save. Bethesda did not include scripts to remove merged instance naming rules; there is no way to do so safely – especially on Xbox where script extension is not available.
