Well, you're saying ESM when you mean ESP, but no biggie. Scarcity includes 3 esp files. If you merged the 3 together, you'd be left with 1. However, if you make a Bashed patch, as is recommended, two of those already get merged into the Bash, leaving you with 1. The only way you'd save one more spot is if you merged them in with other, unrelated mods. If you wedged it into something else that belongs near the bottom of the load order, like the ELE Merged, it *probably* wouldn't break anything, but it would be easy to forget where it is, and if you're that desperate for a plugin spot, there must be somewhere else to find it. Wouldn't hurt to rerun them, but it really depends on whether you've got a spare 40 minutes :)
