Okay, so I finally got a chance to go through the instructions provided by Mator, and they work... to a certain extent. I can load Merge Patches so long as I delete the instructions to load into a specific profile, as suggested, but at that point a profile that can be recognized when running the program through mod organizer IS NOT created. If I go in and add the -profile FalloutNVProfile tag after successfully opening the merge plugins app it still goes back to causing an access violation even though theoretically I have created a profile for it. Therefore, I'd suggest it might be worth adding to the guide a note that if you get an access violation running Merge Patches you can just remove the -profile FalloutNVProfile and run the program normally otherwise through MO, since that's what I've had to do, and it's what at least one other person who replied to the thread appears to have done, so I'm guessing the two of us aren't the only ones who have had this issue.
