I've been going through Fear and Loathing. I've just created my Bashed Patch and come back to Mod Organizer. The plugins that Wrye Flash/Bash noted as mergable are unchecked as expected. Is it possible/wise/dumb to mark those plugins as Optional in M.O.? As to why, it makes the plugin list specific to what's being used. It also makes it impossible to accidently check a merged plugin, although I don't know if that's the end of the world. I tried a few searches, here and using Google, but couldn't find an answer. Thanks Bob
