Organization
Tags, separators, search, load order, and the list minimap.
Arsenal gives you tags for filtering, separators for visual grouping, live search, and drag-and-drop load order. Separators also tint the rows beneath them and appear on the list minimap.
Tags
Tags are stored on the Library entry, so they are the same in every profile. They exist so you can filter a long list.
Adding Tags to a Mod
- Click the three-dot menu on any mod
- Select Edit Tags
- Check the tags you want to apply
- Click Confirm Tags
Bulk tagging
- Select several mods
- Click the tags button on the multi-selection bar
- Choose tags and confirm
The chosen set replaces existing tags on every selected mod (separators are skipped).
Filter by tags
- Click the funnel button in the toolbar
- Select one or more tags
- Click Apply Filter
The funnel fills in when a filter is active. Reset Filter (or clearing every tag) restores the full list.
While a tag filter is on, row selection checkboxes are hidden, because the list is no longer the complete order.
Separators
Separators are labeled color bars you can place between mods. Each view has its own separators: Library separators do not appear in profiles, and profile separators stay in that profile.
Create a separator
- Click Add Separator (expand-arrows icon)
- Enter a label (required, maximum 50 characters)
- Set background and text colors
- Watch the live preview
- Click Add
Default colors are #fee800 background and #000000 text.
Color picker
Color fields accept:
| Input | Notes |
|---|---|
| Hex code | For example #fee800. A leading # is added if you omit it. |
| Color picker | Click the colored button next to the field. |
| Paste | Paste a hex value from the clipboard. |
Edit or delete
On the separator row:
- Gear opens the same dialog in edit mode
- Trash asks for confirmation, then removes only that separator
You can also right-click a separator for Edit, Delete, and the same move commands used for mods.
Reorder
Drag a separator like any other row, or use the context menu (Move to Top, Move to Bottom, Move to Specific Position).
Rows under a separator pick up that separator's background as a section accent, which also shows on the minimap.
Import and export
Share separator styles (not their positions relative to specific mods):
- Open Add Separator
- Export writes a JSON file with label plus both colors
- Import appends those separators to the current list (Library or the open profile)
Empty lists cannot be exported. Import creates new UUIDs, so you can import the same file more than once.
Search
The search field filters as you type (short debounce). It matches:
| Field | Example |
|---|---|
| Label | The mod name |
| Description | Text under the label |
| Mod UUID | Fingerprint icon appears on the label when this matches |
| Installed Nexus Mods version | Version string on the row |
Matches in the label, description, and version are highlighted.
| Shortcut | Action |
|---|---|
Ctrl + F | Focus search and select the current query |
Escape | Clear search and unfocus (when the field is focused) |
Search and tag filters can both be active. Clearing search does not reset tags.
Load order
In a profile, list position is load order. When two enabled mods write the same game file, the later write wins. Settings control which end of the list is written last:
| Setting | Who wins |
|---|---|
| Set first mod to highest priority | Position 1 is deployed last, so it overrides everything below it |
| Set last mod to highest priority (default) | The bottom enabled mod is deployed last and overrides earlier rows |
The Library order is only for browsing. It does not change how files are deployed.
Reorder mods
Drag and drop
- Grab any row (mod or separator)
- Drop it at the new index
- Numbers update immediately
Context menu (right-click)
- Move to Top: index 1
- Move to Bottom: last index
- Move to Specific Position: type a 1-based index
You can also copy the mod UUID from that menu.
Minimap
A compact map on the side of a long list mirrors separators and section colors. Drag the viewport on the map to scroll, or click a region to jump there.
Rename
Click the pencil beside a mod label. The name is saved on the Library entry, so every profile shows the new label. Empty names are rejected.
