_merged file created by Vortex

After the 1.11.3 update, Vortex has seemingly taken a dislike to my mods that allow one to adjust the female parts textures on CBBE 3BA w/o reinstalling the entire mod.  Once I use them, Vortex alerts that something has changed the files outside of Vortex, and only allows for quitting Vortex, or applying changes.  This occurs even though I uninstalled/installed the mods (base and reinstallers) from inside Vortex.

I assume that I have something misconfigured, which was brought to the fore by the newer deployment routine post-11.10, but I have no clue as to what.  I currently have the physics config reinstaller and the vagina textures reinstaller set to load before the base mod (makes no sense to me, orig had them loading after), but Vortex alerts only on the vagina retextures, and with the conflict set to load before or after the main mod.  Any suggestions on how to correct this?

Sounds like you are altering the files in the game folder.  I always redirect things like Bodyslide to a folder in the Vortex deployment folder and then treat it like a mod.  That avoids the whole "files have changed" issue.

That is what confuses me, I have no idea how to set up the CBBE stuff like that, and all manipulations of the CBBE mods are done through the base mod and its addons through Vortex, which should be making the changes in the data folder, not any manual edits by me.
