Attempting to create a Merged Patch, but I just Get CTD

[Gravatrax]

Hello All I keep trying to make a merged patch using the following mods, but I keep getting a crash to dekstop upon startup. I don't have any issues when I disable the merge patch and keep the ReProc.esp but having them both together causes issues. WHenever I go to make the merged patch I always disable ReProcc.esp,

--where i put merged patch--
ReProccer.esp <--Not Included ibn Merged patch
ReProccerNONPLAYERfix.esp <--Not included in merged patch
ReProccerDragonborn.esp <--Not included in merged patch

--where BOSS likes to put the merged patch, i move it up before the ReProc content, again unrecognized plugin but that is to be expected.

 

 

GrassOnSteroids_NaturalEdition_SFO.esp <--Boss likes to put this mod at the bottom no idea why but it is included in both Merged and SkyProc Pathces, it doesn't recognize it as a plugin

 

So yup, basically I include everything in the merged patch except the 3 ReProc related esps at the bottom, them from there I go and patch with the Reproc (and Nonplayer, and dragonborn are on the blocklist) I do include the merged patch as part of the Reproc patch if I'm using it, but when I am not ill disable the merged patch and rerun the patch and won't have issues (for now atleast, this is a fresh install)

 

So, any ideas?

 

And if by some chance this might be seen as totally unnecessary please let me know, just trying to make sure all my mods will play nice and i read that these are the steps one might consider taking. :)

Ideally, TES5Edit merged patches need to be manually edited post-generation, which requires some knowledge in reading and interpreting game records in TES5Edit. Is there a specific reason why you are trying to generate a merged patch? If not, then don't use one. Generate a Bashed Patch with Wrye Bash instead, which will merge conflicting leveled lists and leave most of the records alone.

Not particularly actually just advice from a friend, he's not an expert either if the truth be told ha, supposedly I guess it's just add overall stability when you have a lot of mods running, Alright Wyre bash I have used that before but it's been a while, would I use that before or after SkyProc?

The merged patch has many functions but is ideally used to expedite the making of custom compatibility patches. It will merge many different kinds of conflicting records that Wrye Bash won't, but will also sometimes merge conflicting records that are not intended to be merged (for example, records intended to -replace- or override), which is why it should be edited manually post-generation. I don't use SkyRe, so I don't know if the Bashed Patch should be made separately from the ReProccer or if the Bashed Patch needs to be active when you generate the ReProccer. You should probably check the SkyRe mod support thread. When in doubt about the load order positions, run BOSS and it will set the plugins in their suggested load order, so you will get an idea of who should load after whom.

Be aware that not all mods are truly compatible with each other, some patching may be in order like Alternate Start - Live Another Life.

 

A link for patching it and a few others - http://wiki.step-project.com/User:Neovalen/Skyrim_Revisited#Alternate_Start_-_Live_Another_Life

 

It also appears you are missing a few other patches already posted on Nexus. Search for "patch" and "compatibility" and you should find all the patches to make some mods play a bit better with others.

 

The Wyre Bash "Bash patch" will merge a few of these for you.

your crash is caused by including Skyre_EnemyScaling.esp in a merged patch.
