Mod Check makes everyone on your Skyrim Together server play with the same plugins: it turns away players whose plugins don't match your loadorder.txt, the list of .esp, .esm and .esl files your mod manager loads. Mods without a plugin, such as texture packs, aren't checked. That makes modded playthroughs more stable. You don't need it if you play without other mods, or only with Address Library for SKSE.
Getting Your loadorder.txt
Set up the mods you want everyone to use in your own mod manager, in the order you want, then find its loadorder.txt:
- Mod Organizer 2: in your MO2 folder, open
profilesand the profile you play Skyrim Together with. - Vortex: go to
Mods, clickOpen...and chooseOpen Game Application Data Folder.
