When we do the Merges, pick the Mods to be Merged and their Masters, if one of these Masters has a Master is this also required or can be ignored?

https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/6194?tab=files Update Files Compatibiity Patch for LOOT v0.14 Masterlists Date uploaded04 Feb 2019, 5:41AMFile size2.3MBUnique DLs4.7kTotal DLs5.4kVersion0.14 The latest LOOT versions (v0.14.x) have incompatible masterlists when run alongside the packaged 'lootcli' within MO2. This patch provides compatibility with those masterlists. Replace the files inside the 'loot' directory in your MO2 installation.

@ Lexy Should we be using the Compatibiity Patch for LOOT v0.14 Masterlists that came out in Feb for MO2 ?

Evening OK Totally Confused now, the new zEdit instructions are about as clear as mud. Uncheck everything except the options listed under zPatch. In the Left pane Under the NPC Visual Transfer add the following: NPC Retexture Merge SSE.esp RSChildren.esp and OMEGA NPC Retexture - Conflict Resolution.esp zPatch.esp should be listed, Click the 'Build' button by its name. The first two Patches are no change so simple but the change to zPatch is beyond obsqure. Left Column I have: Build Patches NPC VisualTransfer Cell Encounter Levels In Name Khajiit Ears Show No Dragon LODs NPC Enchant Fix Know Your Enemy's Armor Patcher Know Your Enemy Patcher Right Column zPatch.esp Which has nine(9) patches below it all enabled and then the 2 original no issue patches How do I add the new requirements? where should I be clicking? TIA

@ Lexy Hi, Do you have an end goal for this Mod Package? Reason to ask is I would love to start a totally fresh game and play through all the content, but my concern is you will add something else awesome or change something massively (Followers and Horses in the last month) and would really like a 'stable' platform. I do remember you responding before to a message saying there was a Museum Update incoming which was going to be massive and would require a fresh start, do you have a time frame? I know I can start now and simply ignore updates for any and all mods, but my OCD'ness kicks in when something changes and hence broken save, pain agony and another fresh start. TIA

Yes I can just imagine them busy, but would be nice to also think they are more than just inanimate objects. I will take a read through the Follower Network Mod.

Me Again OK I use the Museum Safehouse as my main residence and whenever I go there the two followers I use most the time wander about eat drink etc etc, but when I do a quest that is best done solo and I tell them to wait here, that is what they do just stand still. I am sure there must be a way to get them to use the place as home and just do stuff, but I cannot find it. Could someone point me in the right direction please TIA

Thanks Lexy

Helm Auto Equip / Un Equip It was working, but I have rebuilt all the merges as was away for a couple weeks and added the new followers and horses and now it doesn't work, what have I missed? TIA

Further Update It appears that LOOT was the issue, with Trees and Flora Merged at the end of the load list all is great no broken Textures if I let LOOT place it, which it does pretty high in the list then the Textures get messed up. Though still would like to know if I should be getting the missing texture messages in DynDOLOD

Graphics Issue; I am having a texture missing issue, I get lots of purple blocks when in mountain regions.

Hi again @DarkladyLexy and Shadriss Thanks for the input as to adding additional mods. Only looking to add a new sword and a new Armour pack so I think these should be safe to drop in. But as I now have a stable build if it goes wrong I will know what to remove :)

Thanks, everything marked inactive is part of the Bash Patch, guess I'm still getting used to MO after many years of NMM and Vortex. Would you suggest any mods I now add for personal choice I just let LOOT position them and avoid adding them to any of your Merges?

Finished the guide Whoop but have a question or two. Done everything followed it implicitly and rechecked everything and making a brand new character it works Yay me, if I load the test bot created at the 'Time for a Quick Test point in finishing line' I immediately get a CTD as soon as the mods start loading. My question though is looking at my Plugins I have a large list of ESP and ESL that are not enabled and when I run LOOT just to check for issues in case (yes I'm paranoid) LOOT reports back 49 warnings, 2 errors (lexy said previously ignore them) 80 total messages and 221 Active Plugins from a Total Plugin count of 251. So should these inactive plugins be enabled, OMEGA CE.esp is one TMBVanillaArmorandClothes.esp is another ?? TIA **** Ignoring these issues, I must whole heartedly congratulate you on a really well done Mod package, game looks amazing

Doh, I didn't even remember installing it. Thanks

Could I make a suggestion for addition to the Guide; https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/16080 Legacy of the Dragonborn - Fate Cards Re-texture - Skyrim Concept Art I think it would fit under the Clutter section and as it's only Textures doesn't eat an ESP slot.

Post Merge Process Issues. OK finally finished all the Merges but now when I run LOOT and check all my manual adjusts are correct I am getting 2 Errors and 51 Warnings with a Total Message Count of 83. The warnings I guess will go when I do the Wrye Bash and Mators Smash but the 2 errors are disconcerting. Immersive Citizens - AI Overhaul.esp This plugin is incompatible with "Dawnstar.esp", but both files are present. Relationship Dialogue Overhaul.esp This plugin is incompatible with "AmazingFollowerTweaks.esp", but both files are present. Are these 2 errors expected and can be ignored or have I screwed up previously?

Just at the point I start making the Merges; I have created the Animals Merge profile from right click and copy the LEXY profile, disabled all, only selected the 7 required mods. But now when I run LOOT it is pulling the Dirty copies of the Main Game DLC, should I also enable the Cleaned Vanilla ESMs Mod we created way way back at the beginning?

Guidance please Installing Qwinn's mega patch and I have things being detected that are not shown in the fomod guide, should I deselect anything not mentioned; Patch for Beyond Skyrim - Bruma 1.3.3 + USSEP 4.1.6 is there and auto selected then I have Patch for Interesting NPCs 3.4.2 +USSEP 4.1.6 which is auto selected but not in the guide and then a few more not in the guide. Holding at this point awaiting feedback from someone please. TIA *** Could having run LOOT be my issue? ***

Lexy Please be aware that Lucidity Sound FX SSE is now at Version v2t as at 31 Jan

Thanks for the constant updating and your time here on the forums along with the other experienced users. You all do make life so much easier for us newbies just starting this journey and all too often people whine but never say thanks so on behalf of the vast grey crowd a big Thank You.

Quick Question, Am up to the point of installing Serana and Valerica. The HD skin retexture is listed as an Optional file which the beginning of the guide says should be a separate install, but surely as its a straight texture replacer each HD texture can be merged with the Main file? TIA

And all sorted, turns out my SteamGuard Authenticator was the issue.

Good Day, New to MO2 so here goes If I try firing up LOOT from within MO2 my Steam window opens and after closing it I am left with a popup box 'Waiting' Please press OK once you're logged into steam. I am logged into steam, I have even added my steam credentials to 'Settings/Steam' Suggestions would be appreciated. TIA

Doh, Yes obvious when pointed out. I had read it as SKSE and one of the 2 dll loaders not one from three. Thanks
