Mod load order (Euro Truck Simulator 2)
Help me to understand. As far as I understand, before, when there were no mod managers, loading was carried out in alphabetical order from the mod folder. The files that were marked with "zzzzz" were loaded last. With update 1.19, a mod manager has appeared in which it is possible to set the priority. It turns out that the file with the highest priority (above) is loaded first, and with the lowest, the last one? Did I understand everything correctly?There is no file that is at the top, that is, it is loaded last with priority, and the one below is loaded first
That is, the priority goes to the operability of the mod, you are to download it last.
Not always. For example, if I put the no damege mod lower in priority, then it does not rob. And at the very top it robs.
Oleg Ivanovich, you are wrong! In the mod manager, implemented in versions 1.19.xx, it turns out, as it were, the other way around. In 1.18 and below, in the mod folder, the name of the mods was important. The letters "zzzz" and the like "u" or "me" denoted the priority of the mod. Which was aligned with the alphabetical order of the "mod" folder.
In versions 1.19.x, the situation has changed dramatically. Now you do not need to rename the mod, you just need to understand its priority.
In the mod manager, you have two main positions. One consists of a general list of mods located in your mod folder. The second (large squares on the left) - in general, all the mods that are in this folder.
The main thing is that in the mod manager on the right side of the screen there is a list of currently connected mods in the form of a column.
The mod with the highest priority is the highest in this column. And vice versa.
In short, in the column of selected and connected mods (in the general list, connected mods glow in the lower left corner of the mod's square with a green light), the mod at the top of the list has the highest priority.
If it's not clear, I'll give you a screen with a more detailed explanation.

I'll tell you easier, the mod manager reads mods in reverse order;)
In general, what is at the top is to be loaded last, what is below is the first. We started with this manager .. Thank you all for the answers!
That is, if I put the mod at the very top, then it is loaded last? My life will never be the same.

agree - in principle, it was possible to do without a manager, but it is not at all difficult to understand this innovation, it is mirror-like))) all the priorities set in the mod folder (earlier), in the manager are set the other way around and all business.
MrX3Mik and Karen Grigoryan are right, but not quite. This cannot be said about the reverse order. How to expose, so it will be.
mr.dalnoboy asked for a screen. I will give the simplest example on it.
Spoiler Do you 
see a column on the screen on the right? These are your mods connected in this profile. In the left pile (if you click on a mod in the column), this connected mod will immediately appear. The green "Connected" light is on.
So that's it. On the screen, the topmost mod in the right column is my Game Economic unit. The bottom one is Air System. There are a few more mods in between. The Game Economic unit has the highest priority in this case, the Air System has the lowest. Those. in the manager, the priority of mods is listed in ascending order from top to bottom. The higher a mod is on the list, the higher its priority.
Is the principle clear?

Sorry, I try to disagree with you, I connected my mods in the order you advised, it turns out a complete garbage, just a crash, I connected in the reverse order (i.e. from bottom to top) everything is fine, everything works
gans194, i.e. the card is at the very bottom, and the rest go up in order in the list?

You are talking about it! The priority goes from top to bottom, and this is logical! It is according to this principle that I arranged my mods and there are no problems.
The question is still in another, what is primary after all from the whole variety of modifications? Let's say on one of the profiles I have the following picture (TOP -> DOWN):
winter mod -> MapZoom -> RusMap -> MHAPro -> traffic density -> packs from Jazzycat -> nodamage -> gearboxes, engines -> skinpacks. And the question is, is all this located according to Feng Shui ... and the answer is - hell would know him
gans194, and rightly so! From top to bottom when you go, the priority is less and less.
Dva2Vo7, yes, I somehow got to this feng shui .... I don’t even look at the log, whether it’s red or yellow. Works well. If it will be buggy, we'll figure it out.))
By the way, I have cards at the very bottom (I ride one card on each profile, I don't like heaps), then loads go higher, then traffic is at the very top, it turns out with the highest priority, game with the economy. Everything works and no questions asked.
