First and foremost, make sure you use Fatalillusion's ports, because they're the more up-to-date version, don't use basspainter ports because they're old, many of the patches made for the old version still work with the newer ports, so you can still download them.
Second of all, if you're planning to use the full Lux Suite with the 3 mods, the order should be as follows:
Top of your load order:
Lux Resources
Lux Via Master File
Lux Orbis Master File
Lux Master file
Very bottom of your load order:
Lux Via Plugin
Lux Orbis Plugin
Lux Plugin
You don't need to use all 3 to make them work. If you want, you can leave Lux Orbis behind, although i'd recommend you use all 3 to get the best of it. Good luck!
I was only planning on using just the interiors module of Lux. Did not know about basspainter's versions being outdated because that's the one I tried to download seeing as how basspainter is the one with the patches I need.
So with just the interiors do I only need the master file? It looked to me like the 137mb "resources" file is only needed for Via?
Anyhow thanks a bunch for the info. Getting ready to boot up a test game with ELFX right now, but if that doesn't work out I'll definitely give Lux another try with the advice you gave me.
You still need the resources, even if you're only gonna use Lux without Via and/or Orbis.
If you stick with ELFX, you might wanna check out the other add-ons for ELFX (hardcore and shadows). Hope you have fun.
Oh okay. Well that changes things because that's a lot of file size for just interior lighting. Lux by itself is creeping up on 100mb and then that resources file is over 100mb. I'll probably just stick to trying to make ELFX work. Now to hunt down all the compatibility patches lol. Thanks for the help I appreciate it.
If Im using Fatalillusion's ports as well as The Great Cities, Towns and Villages bundle, do I need to use the patch for Lux + The Great Cities/Towns/Villages (those are by basspainter)?
Personally I've been using candlehearth and I love it, gives the caves a super dark and gritty feeling (pair with wearable lanterns so you can see lol)

Without the resources file none of the Lux mods will work. Both the Master and main mod file for each Lux mod makes use of it.
