SLOK is a lightweight Windows tool that keeps your Starfield
Plugins.txt stable and prevents accidental load‑order changes
that can break saves.
Starfield depends on the exact order of mods listed in Plugins.txt.
If that order changes after you start a save, items, quests, or entire characters can break.
Unfortunately, Starfield, Mod managers and tools like LOOT can cause the file to be reordered.
SLOK helps you to stop that from happening.
- Saves a reference copy of a known‑good
Plugins.txt - Detects when the file changes
- Restores the correct order with one click
- Appends new mods safely at the end
- Supports multiple profiles (different load orders for different characters)
- Shows an intelligent diff of what changed
- Maintains a version history with rollback support
- Can launch the game (uses SFSE if present)
The tool has a dedicated page on Nexusmods, which includes Screenshots, discussions and more:

Profiles let you keep separate load orders for different playthroughs.
Switching profiles automatically swaps the correct Plugins.txt content into place
and saves your current state.
SLOK keeps a history of all the changes you made, so you can roll back to a previous version anytime (up to 16 versions).
- You set up your load order in Starfield or your mod manager.
- When you're happy with it, you tell the app to create a reference.
- The app monitors
Plugins.txtfor changes. - If something modifies it, you can:
- Accept the new order
- Restore your reference order
- Or revert everything to the reference file
On first launch, the app asks for:
- Starfield AppData folder (where
Plugins.txtlives) - Starfield installation folder (where the
Datafolder is)
It auto-detects common locations, but you can browse manually.
I created this for my own use, and decided to share it with the community.
It was entirely developed using AI-assisted coding techniques with GPT-5.1-Codex and Claude Sonnet 4. If you are interested in the development process, the folder Docs/Agents/Development History contains the individual agent plans used to incrementally build the application.
