I'm assuming that based on a comment by NeoNeder on Nexus. :shrug:

BSAs only get loaded with an active esp, not an active esm. That's why the MMM bsa needs to be renamed depending on what overhaul combination you're using, for example.

Vac

That explains something. But Original BSAs are loaded without esp. Does that mean that either of the options (called by .esp or recorded in Oblivion.ini) is valid?

Yes, they should both work, but the formatting of the ini line can be... picky... and it's subject to length restrictions, and generally it's much, much easier to just rename your bsa to match an esp that's definitely going to load, like your Bashed patch.

Vac

It's good, as long as there are options. I'll have to mention that in the ReadMe and description. Thanks Vac.

Always a pleasure to help you, washington.
