reddvilzz, Thank you so much for taking the time to answer my questions. That was the best answer I could of asked for. I will just redo the merges I have done with the copy assets checked to clean up my mod list in MO and go on from there. I have installing and tweaking skyrim for a little while now and I about 95% done with the guide and only have merges, skyproc stuff and then adding in some of my favorite mods not in the guide. Should be up and running soon. Have a great day, Ax

reddvilzz, My question was when merging mods with merge plugins: Do I just merge the esp's (no extra files) or the all the folders (all the files)? If I do the first choice, do I then deactivate (make them optional in MO info window) all the esps for the mods that were merged to lower my esp count, after activating the merged mod folder on LH side of mod organizer? Should I have merged all the required mod folders,(Textures/Meshes/everything) for each merge in merge plugins? The question arose when I reached the misc-merge section, and the special note to make the 2 esps optional confused me because I was doing that all along. Basically what is the proper way to merge mods for SRLE Ext LOTB? Thanks for the quick answers, Ax

Hi, I just joined the forum and I have some merge plugin and general mod questions. (I'm kinda new at this) For the SRLE/LOTB Miscellaneous Merge it says: Post Installation: Move the following esps to the optional tab in Mod Organizer: DSAMG - Greybeard Fix.esp DSAMG - Miraak Music Fixes.espMake sure ã€DSAMG】Dragon Soul Absorb More Glorious remains active in Left Pane as post merge creation and files are not being copied into new merge.Wasn't I supposed to be doing this all along, for each merge, because if I didn't I would never get below the 255 limit? Was I supposed to be merging all the files (by checking the box in Merge Plugins for all files also) instead of just the esps? I have a small ssd and I have been scraping for space the whole install process, it seems that SRLE and SRLE/LOTB installs end up with a lot of duplicate folders (i.e Falskaar/Falskaar Optimized) full of textures and meshes that just redundantly copy over one another. Couldn't I just have one folder at the end of my load order with all the final, winning textures and meshes to save hd space? How easy is it to add mods after SRLE LOTB install? I would like to add Path of Sorcery on top of Ordinator at the very least and I don't want to break anything. I am still learning how to use all the mod tools so any help would be appreciated? Thanks, I appreciate your guide very much and I look forward to playing after I finish all these merges. Thanks for any help. Ax
