How to merge ESP??

i know its an old question, but i didn't get the answer.

when i copy a record from ESP A to ESP B, whether i use "copy as override into" or "copy as new record into", always pops up a "Confirm" dialog, it tells me that ESP A will be used as "master", YES or NO.

if i choose NO, nothing will happen and the copy will terminate.

if i choose YES, ESP A will be the "master" for ESP B and cannot be removed!

because the "Armor" uses the "Armor Addon" of ESP A. :confused:

If you are merging all of Mod A into Mod B:

1) Load mod B before mod A.

2) Right click Mod A -> "Add Master", select mod B.

3) Right click mod A -> "Inject forms into master", select mod B.

4) Copy as Override* the records from Mod A into Mod B. If copying worldspace/cell records, or copying everything at once, use Deep Copy as Override.

5) Save mod B.

 

*If there are records in both mods, and you want mod A to win, you would use "Copy as Override (with overwrite), as normal copy as override will skip any records that already exist in the target file.

Thank you!

here is my solution:

1. Copy as Override all records from Mod A into Mod B, let FO4Edit use Mod A as "master".
2. open Mod B with CK, and "Set as Active File".
3. modify any record from Mod B, the goal is to get CK to save B again.
4. save Mod B.

now, the unnecessary "master" is gone!

I realized there was some issues with my solution ... now my question is How to load mod B before mod A??
