Explaining bEnableModCheck

What does bEnableModCheck do?

The bEnableModCheck parameter allows you to enable or disable the option of enforcing a mod policy.

If you enable bEnableModCheck, everyone who connects to your server will go through the following process:

1. Player A connects to your server, which has modcheck enabled.

2. Your server will examine Player A's loadorder.txt file.

3. If the loadorder.txt file on the server matches, Player A will now join your server.

4. If the loadorder.txt file does not match the one on the server, Player A will be denied access to the server.

If you disablebEnableModCheck, everyone who connects to your server will go through the following process:

1. Player A connects to your server, which has modcheck disabled.

2. Your server will not examine Player A's loadorder.txt file.

3. Even if you use different mods, the player will be allowed to join.

The reason for enabling this is to increase the chances of having a more stable gaming session and/or playthrough.

It is not necessary to use if you and your friends are not using mods (or if you are only using Address Library for SKSE).

Oh, I want that! I want my server to kick players that don't use the mods that I chose.

Alright! To do so, we must obtain your loadorder.txt from MO2 or VMM and place it in the correct location.

Option1: Using MO2 | Option2: Using VMM

Using ModOrganizer2

1. Open MO2

2. Enable the mods you want to enforce.

3. Make sure they're in the load order that you want to enforce.

4. In my case, I only have 3 mods, so it'll look like this:

5. Go to the folder, where the loadorder.txt is located: C:\Modding\MO2\profiles\Skyrim Together Reborn

6. Find the file named loadorder.txt

7. Right click it, and select Copy

8. Go back to the Skyrim Together Reborn folder: C:\Modding\MO2\mods\Skyrim Together Reborn\SkyrimTogetherReborn

9. Create a folder named Data (important with uppercase D)

10. Inside the Data folder, paste the loadorder.txt that we copied before.

11. Go back to the config folder, where STServer.ini is located.

12. Open the STServer.ini and change bEnableModCheck from false to true

13. Save the file

14. Run SkyrimTogetherServer.exe again

15. It should now say ModPolicy is active and your mod policy will now be enforced.

Here's the whole process of how to do it

Using Vortex Mod Manager

1. Open Vortex/VMM

2. Go to the Mods menu

3. Select the folder icon that says Open...

4. Select Open Game Application Data Folder

5. Find the file named loadorder.txt

6. Right click it, and select Copy

7. Go back to the Skyrim Together Reborn folder: C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Skyrim Special Edition\Data\SkyrimTogetherReborn

8. Create a folder named Data (important with uppercase D)

9. Inside the Data folder, paste the loadorder.txt that we copied before.

10. Go back to the config folder, where STServer.ini is located.

11. Open the STServer.ini and change bEnableModCheck from false to true

12. Save the file

13. Run SkyrimTogetherServer.exe again

14. It should now say ModPolicy is active and your mod policy will now be enforced.

Onwards to the next step!
