I've decided to use start a new game build off of my old load order but updated. Unfortunately I had a lot of mods to begin with and added a lot of compatibility patches. This combined with a few new additions is pushing my load order beyond the hard 253 or 255 all the way to 293 with some merged bash patch. I'm posting to condense my load order. There are several different methods to decrease like the amount of esps like premade patches, merging with bash patch, and merging with TES5Edit.
First and foremost do any of you guys know of any patches like '3DNPC+InconNPC+OCS.esp' that act as a compatibility patch for multiple mods.
Second under what conditions is outside of LOOT to does a user appropriately 'mark mergeble' .esps in Wrye Bash?
Third do you see any esps in the LO that would be appropriate to merge together with TES5Edit?
I really would appreciate direct advice but I'm not opposed to educating myself. Unfortunately the Internet doesn't forget Outdated information and there's bad advice so that's why I'm coming this very knowledgeable community of helpful skyrim fans. What resources are there that are valid and up-to-date to further my education?
BTW try not to recommend removing mods unless there's a serious conflict or Incompatibility.
