Thanks for the tip! That's good to know...I ended up just copying all the records from the Smash Override into a new plugin and using that instead, the new plugin didn't have ELE - Merged as a master. Seems to be working OK so far.

Never mind to this, I've figured it out myself. Of course I'm back with another question. I've followed the Cleaning Missing Masters process to a T to clean ELE - Merged as a master for the SMASH Override CR Patch, and it's not working. I make dummy masters in Bash, load it in xEdit, find the conflicts, remove ALL of them, save, reopen in xEdit, Clean Masters, and nothing's happening. I don't know what else to look for in order to make it be free of ELE Merged. The above process worked like a charm for the main CR patch and the Followers CR patch, so I have no idea why it's not cleaning the masters now. Anyone have any ideas?

So I have a follow up question from my question about broken masters in the Conflict Resolution Patch. The Troubleshooting instructions simply say to check for errors in xEdit, and then remove them once they're located. I'm a bit loathe to just start deleting stuff in xEdit without knowing what I'm looking for, so would anyone be so kind as to elaborate on the process? I'm comfortable opening up the esp in the left panel and seeing colors and stuff, and in the right panel I know that things can be dragged from esp to esp, or deleted entirely. What I don't know if what exactly does a broken reference in a CR patch look like? I've got about 70 errors because I haven't installed Vigilant or done an ELE Merged, so if anyone can help me out here, I'd be super grateful. Thank you!

Brilliant! Thanks!

First of all, thank you for this amazing, amazing guide. It’s a work of art. And I learned a lot of new modding tools that will no doubt prove useful, so again thanks. I’m not using an ENB, and I’m not using ELE or anyone of it’s dependencies. So I don’t have an ELE Merged.esp. This breaks one of the main Lexy Onega Conflict Resolution Patches which has ELE Merged.esp as a master. How would this best be resolved? Is there a way to remove the dependency in xEdit manually by removing cells? Or should I create a dummy esp to trick the Omega...Conflict Resolution Patch? Would that be a safe move? Obviously I’d hate to just not be loading the conflict resolution patch missing the master. I’m down for whatever you guys think I should do!
