I started by installing MGSOv3.0 and Wrye Mash, did a quick start up and ran around Seyda Neen and boy did it look beautiful! Flushed with that success I preceded to install the rest of the mods I wanted using BAIN from Wrye Bash, being very familiar with it from Oblivion and Skyrim, although it does sort of resemble a rather underfed malnourished sibling in comparison to it's brothers. Here is my resulting load order from mlox:

I used TESTool to clean the plugins, although when I started the game a few complained about missing references (namely Tamrial Rebuilt, any file associated with it, LGNPC Pax Redoran, DN-GDR, Morrowind Rebirth and Vurts Trees) so in all those cases I replaced them with the original files and they no longer complain on start up._001_ Morrowind.esm

The MCA - TR Addon.ESP that I actually have is in fact one that is compatible with the Sacred East release of Tamriel Rebuilt that I downloaded from http://abitoftaste.altervista.org/morrowind/index.php?option=downloads&Itemid=50&task=info&id=28&-MCA-7-TR-Addon-patched-for-TR_Mainland-esm so I will just have to ignore that message, it's now the only one that mlox gives me.
I then tried to make a Merged Objects Patch, but ran into exactly the same problems as poor Zarkon did on his thread so I gave up trying that.
Now I come to the part I need help with. I'm trying to run the Create Distant Land Wizard from MGE-XE but at the end of it I get 5 errors and when I look in my log I see this:

I have confirmed that the first 5 are indeed missing textures from my texture folder. I have to admit I'm at a loss as to which mod(s) they are supposed to be from. The rest do exist but as .dds files rather than .tga ones. I have to say now that when MGSO was first installed the Distant Land Wizard threw no errors on that occasion so I know that that is fine. I also used to get the "chargen boat" errors that Zarkon used to get, but after making the changes as suggested by abot to the Exceptions file those went away.
On a side note as I was trying out the game for the first time with just MGSO installed I tried to enter Arille's Tavern and it threw an error. It turned out that the MGSO was missing the bar_rusty_metal.dds file from it's version of Barbarus's Fireplaces. I had to download the http://planetelderscrolls.gamespy.com/View.php?view=Mods.Detail&id=712 and extract that texture to Data Files/Textures before I could enter Arille's without that error popping up.
Hope some of you experts can help me with this problem.
Artorius.
