Now, after returning to SE after the Creation Kit updates finally stopped, I found myself right back here again. Good work, dude! Appreciated it back then, appreciate it today as well.

@bjd4 3 года назад

another thing to consider when choosing which mods to merge is how often they're updated. everytime one of the mods in your merge gets updated, you'll have to redo your merge from scratch

@gamerpoets 3 года назад

That's a good point... but don't update your mods mid game.... same as don't add mods mid game unless you know what you're doing :)

@bjd4 3 года назад

@@gamerpoets well sure, but if you have so many mods you need to start merging them, you're probably going to spend a lot of time testing everything

@@gamerpoets haha, there will always be dumb-dumbs, but mods from my huge load order see updates on the nexus almost every day

@ThatRPGuywithtoomanyOCs 3 года назад

Honestly this sort of depends. If some mods have less critical updates, "fixed neck seam on Boomboom Robe," they can probably be put off on updating for a bit. One can also just use profiles to group the mods if using vortex, which keeps the merges organized to their types. For example make a profile and shove your armor mods into it, and when one updates you just update and then remerge that profile.

@skootz24 3 года назад

Extra tip for MO2 peeps: in the Tools Plugins menu (the one with the puzzle icon) there is an option called "Merge Plugins Hide". using that option will bring up a list of merge files. selecting one and hitting 'disable all' will take any .esp that is a part of a merge and hide it from the load order by changing its extension into nameofthemod.esp.mohidden. Helps tidy up the load order and prevent redundant plugin shenanigans. To re-enable any hidden plugin either use the aforementioned tool again, or for a specific mod just right click on it in the Main list, select 'open in Explorer', then delete the ".mohidden" portion of the esp. MAKE SURE YOU DELETE THE PERIOD *AFTER* .ESP! If you've done it right the plugin should pop back up in the load order when you refresh MO2, but you might have to toggle the mod. Also keep in mind that MO2 typically won't remember where in a given load order the mod was after it gets unhidden.
