Couple noob questions

[tapakidney]

I have installed OOO, FCOM, Fran, and MMM. In Wyre Bash, 4 things are highlighted in a menacing-looking red: Fran's optional stronger bosses, stronger enemies, leveled guards, and additional NPC vars. "WARNING: Has same load order as another mod"

 

I cannot move any of these up or down in load order, but I can everything else.

 

Also, are mods that have a red checkbox a problem?

 

When I hit the mod checker button, I get this:

Now, a few questions about this. Once I rt click the bashed patch and rebuild it, check "leveled lists", and let it automatically merge everything, is that all I need to do? Do I just checkmark other mods I want to use in the Wyre Bash list? Will there be any conflicts if I check something that is already merged in the Bash? Or is this prevented by having my bash at the end of my load order? Do I also need to check the "merge patches" box while I am rebuilding and merge some stuff there?

 

I guess I am not really understanding what bash and merging are and what they accomplish... Does merging something into the bash make it run smoother?

 

If anyone could look this over and help guide me, I'd really appreciate it!
