Issue: Launching Skyrim via STEAM yields, 'ckm error, packed file larger than mod, might be corrupted'. The launcher quits examining / loading files on the load list after the error and sometimes crashes.
Observation: This isn't true.
I play Skyrim vanilla and mostly have no other data file load order program installed like Wrye Bash. NMM is installed but since lousy Vortex took over I haven't messed with NMM.
I am not uninstalling 5 mods it decides it doesn't like, I want to find the correct loadlist for observation/troubleshooting.
It doesn't matter what mods it complains are corrupted, in my case 5 mods. I can play them just fine.
With help from TESA folks, I found the %appdata%\..\local\skyrim files that look like they control loading order.
Plugins.txt
SteamModList.txt
DLCList.txt
*loadorder.txt* is NOT in this folder as https://forums.nexusmods.com/index.php?/topic/583662-important-load-order-and-you/ would have you believe.
I renamed the SKYRIM folder to SKYRIM.org and launched the STEAM Skyrim game and it is STILL loading 49 items.
I don't have Wrye bash or other load programs so where is the Skyrim launcher getting the load list from?
