Question about merging plugins : IV

» Mon Jul 16, 2012 9:05 pm

I am trying my hand at using TES4Gecko to merge plugins, but I want to make sure I'm not messing up.

Here are the plugins I've merged so far:
3 Lost Spires UL patches
8 SM Plugin Refurbish plugins (I'm not using Vile Lair so I can't use the provided merged patch)

I'm thinking about merging:
2 Blood&Mud UL patches
3 OOO UL patches
4 Better Cities UL patches
5 Roads of Cyrodiil patches

Are these all the kinds of plugins that are safe to merge?

Merging patches can be very hit and miss. Patches often have to go after and before various other mods in the load order, and thus merging patches can create problems with extensive load orders.

Ah, that makes sense. Thank you.

I would welcome any suggestions on which plugins I can merge. Here's my load order:
