Arkngt Posted May 29, 2015 Share Posted May 29, 2015 I might be fine regarding the amount of plugins. I have 92 esps/esms. But if I merged Tailor Maid etc., I could get it down to 72, so I might try that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deleted21304489User Posted May 29, 2015 Author Share Posted May 29, 2015 (edited) I need to learn how to merge mods together. Speaking of which...Ark! I was wondering. Would it be possible for you to combine all of your little (awesome) tweak mods into one esm file? That would simply rock if you could do it. Just a thought. All I have to say to M48A5 is...you're awesome bro! After thinning my mods down to 117 and installing NVAC, I have zero stuttering and no more crashing. I even had PR's snow falling and changing back and fourth from third person the 1st person views and nada...no stutters. I don't know if it's NVAC, the decreased amount of mods, or both, but It's all good now. Thank you so much for your generous help. Most kind and much appreciated. Kudos to you...and you too Ark. Now I can finally enjoy a game of modded FO3. BTW: Your posts on the T6M mod pages helped me get that stuff all installed M48. Thanks for that. Wish there were more peeps on the Nexus like you two guys. :D P.S. I had to chuckle when my new version of LOOT reported to me that NVAC was up to date.

M48A5 Posted May 29, 2015 Share Posted May 29, 2015 There are two things you need to merge mods, FO3Edit Training Manual: http://www.nexusmods.com/fallout3/mods/8629/? and FO3Edit: http://www.nexusmods.com/fallout3/mods/637/? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arkngt Posted May 29, 2015 Share Posted May 29, 2015 (edited) All my tweak mods are mergeable in the Bashed Patch, so they won't take up any plugin slot if using it, which I think is a good idea anyway. (Apart from other features, the Bashed Patch saves me 18 plugin slots ATM - plugins that are either merged or have the features imported into it.) As for merging plugins, Merge Plugins xEdit Script seems like a really useful plugin for FO3Edit. That said, I know next to nothing about merging plugins.

Deleted21304489User Posted May 29, 2015 Author Share Posted May 29, 2015 Ok, is there a difference between a bashed patch and a merged patch, sure sounds like it? I mean...I use FO3Edit and make a merged patch for my game after sorting my load order. To my understanding this makes all my mods play nice together, but I don't see how it saves me plug in slots. If anything, it adds to the load. I'll have to read my manual for FO3Edit I guess. Thanks for the link. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M48A5 Posted May 29, 2015 Share Posted May 29, 2015 A bashed patch is made with Wrye Bash, something I have never used. A merged patch is made with FO3Edit, which I have used following the directions in the FO3Edit Training Manual. FO3Edit can also merge mods to reduce your load order. Which is something I have not tried. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
