About this mod Simple Sorter is a FO4Edit script that will automatically add the text needed for icon replacements for all valid items in your entire load order. It automatically scans your mod list, loads all valid items to a new ESP, then detects what sort of item it is so that the correct icons are used. Load orders for SK/AWKCR/Valdacils Item Sorting - posted in Fallout 4 Mod Talk: Hello, I know it is important to pay attention to load orders and that using the utilities like Settlement Keywords, Armor & Weapons Keywords Community Resource and Valdacils Item Sorting help to minimize the inevitable conflicts that arise when using multiple mods. Better Item Sorting. Stuff this mod sorts: Materials (“Raw” material like Steel and other items that can be used for crafting aswell. Item Sorting Mods: Patches and Customization - posted in Fallout 4 Creation Kit and Modders: I tried out one of the popular item sorting mods. Unfortunately, I have gone overboard with mods (240), so I had a lot of inventory items, from a variety of places, which hadnt been included in the original item sorting mod (and who could keep up with them all, honestly?).
This mod renames items with tag prefixes so that they will sort better in the inventory. The vision behind the sorting method is to:
1) Group like items together (notes, holotapes, keys, food, chems, etc)
2) Sort the most commonly used items near the top for easy accessibility
3) Modularize the options to give you the ability to customize which items to sort
