Thanks for the walkthrough dread. Good tips. I'm just getting more comfortable with building my own compatibility patches and merge patches. I'll probably spend a couple of days testing out the base build before adding more on. Bader_375: Check the post right above yours for some guidance on how you might merge the df patches. I will be trying something similar once I'm confident that in the base build.

Hey dread thanks for the great build. I think this could be an excellent simple starting point to build on. I built it out yesterday (less some of the larger new lands/quest mods that are not my cup of tea) and everything is working great. One question: as I move forward, I'm hoping to add on some more mods. Despite the fact that your patches are ESL flagged, they still take up slots for some tools like zEdit patchers. Would it be safe for me to either: (a) disable your patches when running zEdit patchers to get below the 255 limit; or (b) merge your patches down with zMerge and drop them at the bottom? Do you have any other merge suggestions? I know it is a goal of the guide not to require merges, but for advanced users building off of it as a base, some guidance would be helpful to keep below the 255 limit, at least for using tools like zEdit if not for gameplay. For example, could Arthmoor + JKs + patches be merged down with zMerge safely? That would save 20ish slots alone. Thanks for your help!
