I was wondering whats the consensus or at least reccomended Mod Organizers and Load Order Tools for Oblivion,Fallout 3,Fallout NV,Skyrim Regular and SE and Fallout 4 ?
I know for Morrowind its Wrye Mash with Mlox and some other utilities.
But what is it for those games ?

For Fallout 3, Oblivion, and Skyrim I used the Skyrim Mod Organizer (
Link). I loved it, and it was just a beauty to use. I struggled with the Nexus mod manager for a while, and I tried FOMM, but seriously, Skyrim Mod Organizer.
For load order, I've always done mine manually (I never have more than 10 mods at a time), but I hear good things about
LOOT.

I can use Mod Organzier for Oblivion,Fallout 3,Fallout NV and Skyrim.
Does that mean I don't need Wrye Bash or OMM for Oblivion ? Also Wrye Flash or FOMM for FO3,or FO:NV? Or Wrye Bash or any other mod manager for Skyrim ? Does it work with FO4 or Skyrim Special Edition ?
regards to LOOT does that mean that BOSS is no longer needed?
Last question any other reccomended programs or utilties for modding in regards to MW,OB,FO3,FO:NV,Skyrim,FO4,Skyrim SE ?

I can only get Oblivion to work using OBMM and loading the game from physical media.
I can't remember if I used FOMM for FO3 and FNV or NMM.
I've uninstalled/reinstalled both several times and I'm not sure if the last time for FO3 was FOMM or not.
Pretty sure FNV was installed using NMM.
I used MO for Oldrim but it seems like MO's talent works for Nexus now.
I'm using NMM for FO4 and Skyrim SE.
I use BOSS for Oblivion and LOOT for FO4 and bothrims.
I relied heavily on Gopher's videos and mod instructions to refine BOSS's LO for FO3 & FNV .

Not sure about Load Order tools
Skyrim Special Edition

How is this setup ? I scoured the web and had such a hard time finding a straight answer.
Now I just gotta get my utilities then I can starting mod.
Any utilities you would recommend for all these games that I shouldn't go without ?

TES4Edit
TES5Edit
Skyrim Performance Monitor
ENB FXAA SweetFX Manager and Remover
SSEEdit
Skyrim Performance Monitor 64
ENB and ReShade Manager
If you use ENBs and/or reshaders, the two I listed worked well for me. Both from the same mod author.
I used the performance monitor for oldrim and it did what I wanted.
I haven't used the one for SSE. Again both are from the same mod author.
