Merging Modshttp://thenexusforums.com/style_emoticons/default/wallbash

I have quite a few mods on Oblivion, several of which seem to be conflicting with each other. For instance, I have 8 separate files written by Matt G (Inngrish), 4 of these seem to conflict with each other, so I was wondering, would merging them together cure the problem, or would you suggest writing one mod that has them all in (there are 2 in Chorrel and 1 each in Skingrad, Bruma, Imperial City, Leyawiiin and Bravil) - in addition there is another that is about 1/3 of the way from Leyawiin to Bravil on the opposite side of the Niben to the White Stallion Lodge.

 

These conflicts seem to have come out of nowhere and to be honest I can't see any other way of resolving them. I have several mods by other authors, so in those case I'll probably merge those as well. Incidentally I do NOT propose to upload any merged mods, they would be solely for my own use. As far as the mods by Matt G (Inngrish) are concerned, he has already told me I can alter them as I choose.

 

Another thing that has me a bit worried is the DLC mods, specifically the DLC Fighter's Stronghold (aka Battlehorn Castle) - I have another mod called Battlehorn Advanced, what this does is to create another wall outside the original Battlehorn Castle and puts a small village in there. Again I'm getting a conflict between the two of them, but I am not sure how to merge these, DLC Fighter's Stronghold whilst Battlehorn Advanced is just an esp file.

 

I was thinking that maybe - just maybe they were linked to the Oblivion esm, that way I could copy the esm file to a temp folder and try to get the exe file to open in that folder. that way any I - hopefully - should be able to get a combination of the DLC file and the sep file and merge them thus trying to get rid of unwanted duplications. I do realise that this is going to take more than a few minutes, and that you cannot merge an esp with an esm file - the esm would be there as a "target" file only. I'd like your comments on this please, also one other thing, I have another mod "House Map Markers v1.4" by Ghostwalker. Again I seem to have conflicts here and I am not sure what they conflict with! All I can think of for the moment is that they could be merged with Matt G (Inngrish)'s mods, as his cover most of the player owned houses.
