I'm finally going to sit down and give this a try.
I'd been attempting until now to salvage the existing CS system, but I've come to the conclusion there's just no way with current tools to tweak vanilla values to give it the depth and complexity necessary to make it fun. In particular the quest system needs an overhaul with more quests and a tiered structure of quest priorities, and it's not something we can easily do right now.
I look forward to my next game with this mod now active!
From the research I did on the subject I think load order is determined by the order mods are installed, and stored somewhere in the game's data files (it does not read from creation dates of the mod files). The only way I've found to reliably change load order is to remove mods and re-install them using the ingame install button.
I'm not certain about that, but I do know all mod database changes are made at once when the "single player" menu option is selected on the Mods submenu. This is why that button lags so much.
On the topic of language translations, I'd highly recommend
translate.google.com. It's a bit tedious because it doesn't recognize some code elements well (especially stuff in { } curly braces), but overall is a great service.
