Divinity: Original Sin 2 – Definitive Edition Guide

The Definitive D:OS2 Mod "Load Order" List for Divinity: Original Sin 2

The Definitive D:OS2 Mod “Load Order” List

Overview

A Meticulously Curated ULTIMATE Load Order List for DOS2 – Definitive Edition. //// Thanks & Enjoy!! ////

Introduction

This Guide is for the Definitive Edition Only


This guide’s purpose is to serve as a space to note down a working LOAD ORDER for this entire list. Should any 1 person download and use the majority of the mods available for D:OS2 (DE), it should be clarified on this guide which mods have a priority either higher or lower on the order of enabled mods.

It is NOT required to have ALL of these mods in order to follow this guide. It should be used as a set of guidelines for best practices and organization, as most mods won’t conflict in a dramatic way. As long as type grouping, section priority, and requirements are respected, D:OS2 is pretty forgiving.

Please Submit Corrections & Additions


I am super appreciative of those of you that voice your constructive feedback and help me update the guide.

Legend (*)

  1. “Double Asterik” :

    **

    • IF YOU WANT THE MOD’S FILES TO “REIGN SUPREME” OVER ANY LIKE-MOD:
      Place mod at the “Bottom” of the load order——Overwriting any value set by any mod before it.
    • TO ALLOW THE MOD’S FILES TO “BEND THE KNEE”, TO ALL LIKE-MODS:
      Place mod at the “Top” of the load order——to allow overrides from those/other mods.

  2. [NSE] :

1 — “Critical Assets” (TOP)

  1. These mods are at the TOP of your load order:
  2. Contrary to the guide’s introduction, these are listed here in the recommended exact order you should place them in to ensure minimal conflict.
  3. Mods here are typically function/feature libraries, large shared asset packs, overhauls, or something else that may make large changes and/or are expected to be overridden on a case by case basis.

  1. Character Creation Plus
    ↳ by “Majoras Vox“
  2. More Character Colors
    ↳ by “LadyCassandra“
  3. [NSE] Divinity Unleashed
    ↳ by “Kalavinka“
  4. [NSE] Animations Plus
    ↳ by “LaughingLeader“
  5. [NSE] LeaderLib
    ↳ by “LaughingLeader“
  6. [NSE] UI Components Library
    ↳ by “Hunter-Ghost-27“
  7. [NSE] Combined Icon Atlases – Larian Icons
    ↳ by “LaughingLeader“
  8. [NSE] Feenex Core – Mod Library
    ↳ by “Feenex“
  9. Helaene – Shared Library
    ↳ by “Helaene“
  10. Majoras – Project: Fashion Sins

  13. ** Let There Be Tooltips
    ↳ by “fireundubh“
  14. Crafting Overhaul
    ↳ by “Elvasat“

Known Issues:
  1. Organized Containers has been known to cause issues with some armor sets and other miscellaneous items, both vanilla and mod-added. Larian released their own version in Gift Bag #3 – Improved Organization. However, Larian’s version gives you all bags at once and doesn’t allow you to drop them, whereas Organized Containers allows you to pick and choose. Each has its advantages and disadvantages!
  2. Organized Containers and Let There Be Tooltips conflict on paintings. The order of these two can be swapped depending on the behavior you’re looking for.
    ↳ Organized Containers, then Let There Be Tooltips: paintings won’t be sorted into their respective container automatically.
    ↳ Let There Be Tooltips, then Organized Containers: paintings will no longer have world tooltips.

2.0 — “Major Additions – Intro & Large Packs” (MIDDLE)

  1. These mods are to be placed in the MIDDLE of your load order:
  2. Mods are organized By Sections / Groups, meaning you must have these sections / groups loaded as if they are one Giant mod (You cannot mix mods from different sections or mix mods from different groups — Keep your mods in their respective sections and groups).
  3. You DO NOT need to have every single mod listed in each section / group, only the ones you want.
  4. The mods in each section / group DO NOT need to be in the exact order listed here, just in their respective section / group.

  1. Large Mixed Content Packs :

2.1 — “Major Additions – Classes” (MIDDLE)

  • It is NOT recommended to mix class overhauls for the same class. For instance, if you want to overhaul “Geomancer”, you should only use either Odinblade’s overhaul or Rykui’s overhaul, not both together.

2.2 — “Major Additions – Items” (MIDDLE)

  1. Early Loaders :

    NOTE: These mods make changes that should generally be overridden by other mods.

    Potential Conflicts:
    1. Expanded Random Item Generation :
      • “This mod changes the ItemTypes table, so there will probably be conflicts with other mods touching to that. Specifically it seems to have a conflict with Fumihiko’s rune slot enabling mod – I might do a compatibility patch someday but meanwhile you’ll have to choose between getting boons / curses and having additional rune slots, depending on which one you put last in the mod order. Otherwise, it should be free to go with pretty much anything.”

  2. Items :

2.3 — “Major Additions – Skills & Talents” (MIDDLE)

  1. Skills :

  2. Skill Overrides :

  3. Talents :

Known Issues:
  1. Broodlord by “Airy Lies” has been found to cause issues related to the Lady Vengeance, triggering the “stairs don’t work” bug at (a) certain point(s) in the story. This may or may not be related to interactions with other mods, but regardless, use with caution!

2.4 — “Major Additions – NPCs” (MIDDLE)

3.0 — “Overrides – Intro, System, & Visuals” (BOTTOM)

  • These mods are at the bottom of your load order; 190, 191, 192, 193, etc.

  1. System/UI :

  2. Visuals :

    3.1 — “Overrides – Gameplay” (BOTTOM)

    1. Gameplay – Miscellaneous :

    2. Gameplay – Source :

      3.2 — “Overrides – QoL” (BOTTOM)

      3.3 — “Overrides – Bug Fixes & Attributes” (BOTTOM)
