Hi, Thank you very much for this handy summary for preventing crashes. I’d greatly appreciate if you would consider add step-by-step instructions on how to use mod management tools such as OBMM, Wyre Bash, or BOSS. And here is why: As a mods-novice, I’ve searched heatedly on the Internet for tutorials on OBMM, Wyre Bash, or the combined use of OBMM, WB, and BOSS. To my surprise, this kind of information is not too abundant on the Internet. The instructions posted on the software makers’ official sites or included in the software package are too technical and vague at the same time, giving an extremely hard time to new game players like myself. For instance, these are SOME of the questions I have after reading the instructions on several famous authoritative websites/forums: In OBMM: 1. How do I know whether I should select the “Archive Invalidation” option or not when I add a new mod? 2. OBMM will check if conflicts exist between mods. What should I do if I see conflicts (marked with red text) in the conflict report? In WB: 1. In order to use the Balo feature, do I have to manually assign each mod to a group (i.e. clothing, place, etc) for load order? In my case none of the mods I added will get groups assigned automatically. 2. Bash Patch: This is the most confusing part. If I am adding a new mod for adding a new armor, should I rebuild patch? In addition, when I click on the Rebuild Patch option, should I ALWAYS select the “Merge Patch” option if I want to keep things simple, that is, giving up the advanced feature of individually selecting what features to be imported from mods? If no checkboxes are checked, what is the point of doing a rebuild patch? On the other hand, it seems that the mods who contain new stuff won’t be identified as “mergeable” and thus wouldn’t be “merged” by performing the “Merge Patch” option under “Rebuild Patch”. Ultimately my question becomes how to use the Bash Patch for various kinds of mods, I guess. These kinds of "Idiot's Series: How to use TES 4 Mod Managers" is in high demand and currently no supply exists whatsoever. Would you be able to help those of us who are struggling on these issues? Sincerely,
