                    <h3>Applying the Load Order</h3>
                    <p>
                        The final step is to apply the load order of installed plugins. The guide comes with a premade load order file, which ensures all mods are being loaded in correct order, with all conflicts accounted for.
                    <ol>
                        <li><strong>Download</strong> the TMR Load Order from <a onclick="downloadFile('https:\/\/raw.githubusercontent.com/ModdingLinked/The-Midnight-Ride/refs/heads/main/files/loadorder.txt')" style="cursor:pointer" title="loadorder.txt">here</a>.</li>
                        <li>In MO2, click the <img class="mo2-icon" src="./img/MO2/Folders.webp" alt="MO2 folders"> button at the top of MO2 and click <strong>Open Profile folder</strong>.</li>
                        <li><strong>Move loadorder.txt</strong> to the MO2 profile folder. You should get a popup message asking if you want to overwrite the existing file - click <strong>Yes</strong>.</li>
                        <li>Press <strong>F5</strong> while you are on MO2 without any menu open.</li>
                        <li>Right-click in the <b>right</b> pane of MO2 and select <strong>Enable all</strong>.</li>
                    </ol>

                    <div class="card-red">
                        <p>
                            Your load order (found under the <b>Plugins</b> tab in the <b>right</b> pane of MO2) should match the <b>loadorder.txt</b> file you just downloaded. You can ignore any plugins from mods that you may have skipped, but the order the remaining plugins are in should match the file.
                            <br>
                            <br>
                            If that isn't the case, make sure to <strong>sort the load order by priority</strong> by clicking the <b>Priority</b> column header at the top.
                            <br>

                    <p>
                        Due to the way Mod Organizer 2 works, running programs through it is a requirement in order to load mods. This is done in the <strong>top-right corner</strong> of the manager, where the program to run is chosen. Here, <strong>select F4SE</strong>.
                        <br>
                        <br>
                        For the sake of convenience you may also <strong>create a shortcut</strong> (right below the <b>Run</b> button) so that you won't have to manually open MO2 each time before playing.
