The importance of a mod load order cannot be overstated. Here are a few reasons why it matters:

: "The Gathering: Core Object" and other foundational scripts should generally be near the top.

For , mod load order follows a priority system where mods at the bottom of the list typically overwrite those at the top if they alter the same game files . While the official launcher usually handles this alphabetically, complex setups involving overhauls like TROM or TUP require specific manual ordering to function correctly. General Priority Guidelines

While many modders name their files alphabetically to ensure they load correctly by default, complex overhauls require manual adjustment. Use the following general structure to minimize crashes and conflicts:

: In the standard launcher, mods at the bottom of the list generally load last, meaning they overwrite any conflicting data from mods higher up.

Large-scale changes like TROM (The Rule of Might) or Radious should be placed here. They rewrite many game systems, so they need to load before more specific "tweaks".

Sometimes, deleted mods leave "ghost" .pack files in your SteamApps\common\Total War THREE KINGDOMS\data folder. Delete anything there that isn't a vanilla game file. 💡 Pro-Tip for Overhaul Users
