Hello, First time installing this guide and I have some confusions, but the issue I am at right now is this: I am done installing the mods overall, I tried running loot so I can then edit the metadata with the notes directed, but the numerous esp's missing by following the guides instruction to not install them left many recursive loops and missing masters that error out in Loot. I assumed at that point that maybe I should create my merged plug ins, especially since multiple metadata edits reference merged plug ins with load order preferences, I also couldn't make the merged plug ins due to missing masters leaving the ESPs grayed out. AM I out of my league and the resolutions to these issues are simple and I don't know them or did I miss something? In most cases I just loaded the esps that originally were deleted, made the merge and then removed the esps again, but I now have merged plug inst giving me flags for missing masters, so I am weary that I will be facing issues in the near future. I double checked all the guides pages and feel like I might need my own idiot check entry. With so many people discussing this guide I know it works, I am just curious what I am missing here?
