Optional Mod "Keep it Clean" LOTD patch is now integrated in the LOTD Merged patch (4.1.5) and thus requires manual removal/manual patch assembly :(

Hi, I just wanted to report an odd issue I have encountered. It is likely only on my end since no one else seems to have posted it yet, although similar issues with the weather merge have been reported. Tracking a CTD on main menu by the process of elimination, singled out Lightning During Thunderstorms (Minty Lightning) in the Weather Systems Merged.esp. For some reason I did had to exclude the mod from both the merged patch and the load order. It did cause a crash on the main menu and yes, I am sure I renamed the file as instructed. Meanwhile, SSE loaded the entire order correctly and no master files are missing. Did anyone else encounter something similar? I did search the thread and someone reported something similar but with obsidian included in the merge.

Just a quick notice: In the current Mod Order Vivid Landscapes - LOD Correction is fully overwritten by Majestic Mountains. Since Majestic Mountains gets merged into Landscape Environment and Clutter Merged, and the merge is also below Vivid Landscapes the tamriel.objects_n.dds will never be loaded and could be ommited from the download instructions.

i can understand. I usually search issues in forums but the step plattform annoys me to death with its flood control. Sry. I had the correct installed but a redownload fixed the issue. Guess my archive was corrupted. Thanks for checking!

Just a few observations on my playtesting: New Jewels for Circlets textures are causing CTD. I am sure I did install Gemling Queen Jewelry SE properly and the mod order is correct. Specifically observed on the Copper and Onyx Circlet (000166FF). SkyTEST - Realistic Animals and Predators The instructions say: Do not install the following file(s) and/or folder(s):SkyTEST-RealisticAnimals&Predators.espSkyTEST-RealisticAnimals&Predators.txt SkyTEST-RealisticAnimals&Predators.esp should be installed as it is a requirement for Animals merge and another merged patch. I assume it was meant to only remove the .txt

Thanks a ton for this most detailed response! will try out and further test!

First my big thanks for this guide. I have been testing it for days with different mod variations and I think I got it to a point where i feel the game is stable, without CTDs. I thought I share my observations with the remaining LOTD display mods currently not included in the guide: Wheels of Lull currently does seem to cause CTDs, even after NIF optimization and esp update. Some seem location dependent (can be fixed by extracting bsa and nif optimization), others seem random. Elemental Dragons as a replacement for KS dragons, splendor and diverse dragons seems to work just fine. Skyrim Underground seems to work fine.My Questions to those who have experimented with the three mods and want to share their thoughts: Is there a specific reason (stability or conflict) why 2) and 3) are not in the guide or is it just a design choice? Did someone manage to get Wheels of Lull working without CTDs or game-breaking bugs? Thanks in advance!

Perhaps it would help to add a warning in the prerequisites page to not change the base directory in mod organizer 2 settings (so that it remains in the root of mod organizer). Otherwise, Merge Plugins will not copy assets even if Mod organizer is set to Portable. Also, even though it is mentioned in both prerequisites and merge page, highlighting the importance of leaving Mod organizer on Portable a little more in the prerequisites (maybe yellow color) would prevent users from having to reconfigure Mod Organizer and avoiding a potential catastrophe by overwriting their modorder.txt. So far everything went great soon finished merging for a testrun! Amazing work!!

just wanted to let you know that i created a patch for Requiem - Minor Arcana and Immersive Horses: IT can be safely merged into the Requiem Minor Arcana Merged Patch. https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/80697/?

I just wanted to let you know that i released a small patch for Requiem - Behind the curtain, that allows you to collect the LOTD shrines regardless of your criminal record. This can also be used to enable all the shrine displays in the dragonborn gallery. https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/80073?

is there a way to enable the Dragonborn gallery shrine displays? when i console reset my crime stats i am able to obtain the Requiem-Behind the curtain blessings, however i can't seem to activate the shrine displays in the hall

Also I noticed a difference between the integration guide and the main guideÖ NPC merge section: in the main guide you recommend extracting the ethereal_elven_overhaul.esp into a sepatate folder NPC Retex - EEO - Ethereal Elven Overhaul in the integration guide i assume you overwrite given esp in the NPC Retex - Ethereal Elven Overhaul folder, which seams more logical. When doing the merge the face data of a lot of elves would otherwise not be ending up in the merge and being overwritten by NPC overhaul and/or WSCO.

Please do highlight how important it is to increase the CustomMemoryBlockTotalSizeMb= in CrasFixPlugin.ini after your load order is complete. I did just install the entire guide twice over the last week, even installed windows 7 on another partition just for Skyrim and enabled mod by mod manually to desperately search for a mod conflict causing my CTD after entering or leaving the prison. I assumed i might have made a mistake during the installation. It turned out it was just the missing Memory Block Allocation..... :( Finally i can play too. Thanks a lot!
