Could someone tell me which mods I can merge together safely : IV

» Thu Jan 20, 2011 9:08 am

Hey all,

Just wanted some advice on which mods I can safely merge together. I've already merged all my armor/clothing/weapon mods into one mod (Menno's Merged Plugin). But I was wondering what other mods I can merge together. Perhaps all the UL mods and their patches? or all the DLC mods with their official and unofficial patches? or the impeREAL mods? What about all the MMM addons? Just wanted to pick your brains. thanks.

I know it's a monster LO, but it works pretty well. I realized I have 339 items in my data folder though, so I want to trim it down to under 300. I've heard on here that over 300 files in your data folder can wreak some havoc. I'm having an issue with CTDs after entering random locations, so I thought I'd try this.

THANKS EVERYBODY FOR ANY HELP!!! :wavey:

17 Oblivion Citadel Door Fix.esp

- not required

18 DLCShiveringIsles.esp

- dummy ESP to load BSA, rename the BSA http://tesivpositive.animolious.com/index.php?page=bsas_and_archive_invalidation

1D MOBS SI Optional Combat Settings.esp [Version 1.2.2a]

- not recommended with FCOM (I think)

25 MIS.esp
26 MIS New Sounds Optional Part.esp

- I have these merged

2A AliveWaters.esp
2B AliveWaters - Koi Addon.esp
2C AliveWaters - Slaughterfish Addon.esp

- I have these merged

Also all Unofficial Mod Patches can be merged to master. http://tesivpositive.animolious.com/index.php?page=plugin_merging

http://www.tesnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=11474 comes with a single merged esp covering all DLC

Unique Landscapes and their patches are not recommended to merge.

I'm sure there's more, but it's a start... :wink_smile:

Turn on Bash's Auto-ghosting (right-click on the File tab.) Your active plugin list has quite a bit of room left, so you do not need to merge anything yet.

Yes, definitely http://www.gamesas.com/index.php?/topic/1100466-the-unique-landscapes-project/page__view__findpost__p__16171032 is not a candidate to be patched yet.

The Oblivion Citadel Door Fix.esp is not needed for Vilja, but if your playing Viconia or Red Sonia you might need it though.

This includes the new viconia? How does this affect the citadel door patch? thanks fer all your advice everybody!!!

Kind of stumped on how a door sound patch could affect a companion mod.
