# Before you start

***THIS COLLECTION WILL HAVE A DEFAULT WORKING LOAD ORDER IN THE FUTURE BUT FOR NOW YOU MUST MANUALLY ENABLE THE MODS WITH THE INCLUDE LOMV2 MANAGER AND SET YOUR OWN ORDER***

**MAKE SURE THESE RULES ARE FOLLOWED WITH LAST MOD BEING AT HIGHEST COMPARED TO OTHERS IN BULLET POINT:**
**For example XenoAI should load after TTRulez which loads after Coyotes.**

- Coyotes > TTRulez_AI > Xenoai
- Coyotes > Increased Warzone Rewards
- Advanced Career Start > Repmod Negotiatied Gain > 330s Pilot Overhaul 
- YAML > VonBiomes > RepMod Negotiated Gain
VonBiomes > LessBloom
- YAML > Below Scary tanks,  YAML Mechs, Lore-Based Mech Variants
- Xenopax Art > Below all overrides 
- YA Clan Mech and YA Weapon > Below Better Mission Choices
- Volatile > Enhanced Critical > High Damage Critical

Defaults should work fine for the rest including the other collections. It is not recommended to change load order of mods unless explicitly stated here.

MW5 LOMV2 is included to manage load order. It will need to be ran once to enable all mods and apply correct load order.
LOMV2 will be in `<MW5 Folder>/MW5Mercs/Mods/LOMV2.exe.` After first run mods can be enabled and disabled with Vortex. The enable flag read by the game and LOMv2 is stored in vortex's MW5 specific Mod Staging folder. If a new archive is downloaded and installed to Mod Staging, LOMv2 must be ran again to enable it and if neccessary, change the load order.

These mods from the compatible collections are incompatible with each other and only one should be activated:

- Expanded HUD or ProHUD
- ArtilleryTweak or Orbital Drop
- NoArtillery or BiggerExplosions
- Nostalgic Sounds Redux or Sounds of Succession Wars

Make sure to also install my graphics, sound, and UI collection for visual improvements.
All mods in the below collections are optional.
