Merging Mods help?

[SnakeSlippers]

Ok I did a bunch of merging for FO4 and 99% of those mods seemed to work in game, no problems. That was awhile ago, video card went pttthhgffft. The one I have is like $20.

 

So I'm on to FNV now and trying to merge again.

 

Now I just took some random mods that have 1 esp file. Not really trying on this one I just merged everything together, removed the masters or whatever you call it when your merged mod depends on those other mods.

 

I did that for FO4 and it worked.

 

Now I want to see if it causes any deep down problems I'm not aware of. Not that good with FNVEdit, just dabble alittle bit.

 

If someone can take a look at this esp file and see if they find any problems that I can learn from.

It's a somewhat complex subject. Please see the wiki "Merged Plugin Guidelines for Personal Use" article which goes into the "why this works and not that" in some depth.

Just started merging mods myself. One thing I have read is to not merge mods with nav-mesh changes because they need to be fixed after. Simple mods like ones that add clothing or make a game change or two can be merged no problem. Or several plug-ins that are from the same mod. I won't even try to merge more complex mods until I learn more about what I'm doing.

In FO4 and what I'm trying to do now is pretty much just merge all the mods that only edit game settings, or something like that. Navmesh merging sounds about right tho. I can see problems from that.
