BOSS utilizes a Masterlist text file to sort plugins into the correct order. Although
it recognizes tens of thousands of plugins, new mods are constantly being created
and released every day. This means the Masterlist requires frequent updates. We
depend on mod user submissions in order to keep pace with the mod community.
Details
This page is simply a portal from which to download the Masterlist text file, in
the event you are unable to do so via the BOSS GUI. If your GUI is functioning,
and updating properly through an internet connection, you already have the
most up to date Masterlist.
Program Requirements
In order for the Masterlist to be of any use, you will need to have the latest version
of BOSS which can be found here. Older versions of BOSS still function, but won't
be able to update via the GUI. Versions prior to 2.3.0 may not properly read the
Masterlist due to formatting changes.
Downloading the Masterlist
Find the most recent Masterlist in the files section. Once you've downloaded and

unzipped the file, you just need to install the Masterlist into the Oblivion folder
located inside BOSS on your PC.
Example: C:/Users/*yourusername*/Desktop/Boss2.3.2/Bin/Release-64/Oblivion
Copy/Paste the Masterlist into the Oblivion folder. Make sure the 'Sort Plugins' box
is checked on the GUI and run BOSS.
Submitting Unrecognized Plugins
If you wish to submit an unrecognized mod plugin, please do so either through
your BOSS GUI, or by posting on the main BOSS page over at Oblivion Nexus.
Apologies, It's just more convenient for me to only have to track two sites.

other than typing a bunch of mod names into a list that was already very well developed.

Please Read and Follow to at least Step 3. Not providing adequate info
may result in your post being ignored.

Your plugin(s) will then be added to the Masterlist with the very next update.
Alternately, you can submit plugins using the BOSS GUI, which sends the info to
my Github account.
2.Include the full .esm/.esp file name. Proper spelling, spacing, punctuation do
matter. If you misspell, the plugin will not be recognized.
3. Include a link to the mod page. If I need more info and can't find the mod, sorry
but I won't be able to get it added for you.
4. Include a brief description of what the plugin does. Knowing this can make a big
difference in determining where to place it.
5. Include load order suggestions. If you already use the mod, and know where it
works in your load order, that just might work for everyone else as well.
6. Include BASH Tag suggestions.
7. Include dirty records.
