Quick Question On Merging Plugins (SSE)

[TheModestHavel]

Little confused on merging plugins together and overwriting. I use NMM (No, I wont switch to Vortex or MO).

 

Can I have a non-merged mod overwrite the files of an already merge of mods?

 

like if I have these 3 mods.

 

1)

2)

3)

 

I decide to merge 1 and 2 because they don't overwrite each other, so no problems.

 

1+2)

3)

 

Then can (3) overwrite the merged files of (2) within the (1+2) merge? Or can nothing overwrite merged mods once put into NMM.

 

 

Thank You. Help Appreciated.

If the files associated with the aforementioned mods would have normally overwritten each other if all were installed separately, then the same holds true even if some of the mods were merged. Whichever has priority (whether it be installed last [NMM] or designated as the winner via priority position [MO] or rules [Vortex]) will be used by the game.

 

If you want the appearance of an object as provided by 3 rather than what was in 1 or 2, make sure that 3 (and files associated with that object) comes after the merge of 1 and 2.

Alright that makes more sense. Usually when NMM see's two mods conflicting / needing to overwrite each other, it asks you which files you want overwritten, but I wasn't too sure how it worked with merging. I'll install priority mods after the merge installs (or possibly vise-versa).

 

Appreciate the help.
