I suppose I just meant I'd avoid "creative" merging, not the obvious easy merges. Thanks for the advice guys.

I'm trying to merge the files of the new Immersive Citizens - AI Overhaul mod that was added to the guide, but the merging gives me an error that some records failed to copy? Copying records...

I'll probably just skip some to avoid merges. Are there any mods that are more likely to cause conflicts than others? Or are these lists basically conflict-free?

How realistic is it to install, on top of your PerMa+SRLE guid here, the REGS mods? If it is realistic, are there any mods from REGS that I should avoid? Any advice on installing REGS on top of Perma+SRLE would be hugely appreciated :) I've only finished with SRLE, and about to do PerMa with your very helpful guide here. I'm sure I'll be happy with Perma+SRLE, but anything I can add from REGS would make my return to Skyrim after a year off even better!
