» Thu Oct 15, 2015 10:57 pm With unofficial patches going to be merged into a single patch and DLCs at the moment being on a rather pathetic sale (merely -40%) I may have to give in and finally buy Hearthfire, as much as I hate paying for mods. That brings up a couple of questions.
Here's my current load order:

It is confirmed switching from separate unofficial patches to the merged one should be painless. Others are less obvious.
Let's start with Complete Crafting Overhaul. Is it possible to switch to the merged plugin without any additional preparations? There's the option to use separate plugins but I'd like to switch to the merged one.
Even Better Quest Objectives, same situation except there's no separate plugins anymore. Also uses USKP and UHFP as masters but will likely be eventually upgraded to use USLEEP. Could upgrade cause issues?
RS Children, the DLC compatibility patch needs to be switched fron DB only to the one covering both DB and HF. Separate plugins is an option. Issues in the horizon? The USKP compatibility patch also is possible issue, wonder if the mod author is going to to update it to us USLEEP.
