Hi, Is it possible to remove a particular master from the STEP Patch (without screwing up the whole patch) using xEdit? Here's the situation: I have installed all of the STEP Core and Extended mods, but I would like to take just one mod out of my setup. However, the STEP Extended Patch is dependent on this mod as a master (as is the Core Patch if I'm not mistaken). I suppose one solution would be to just install the STEP Combined Plugin and then install the various compatibility patches provided by some mod authors, and try to resolve the remaining conflicts manually in xEdit. OR A more direct solution could be to just remove this dependency from the STEP Patch. Is there a way to accomplish this relatively neatly without messing everything up? I think I have a good idea as to the best way to go about doing this, but I wanted to check with the people on this forum before I did anything since I'm still pretty new to using xEdit and modding in general. tl;dr: Would it be okay to do the following? 1) Load the STEP Extended Patch into xEdit 2) Right click the STEP Patch and run script called "List records referencing specific plugin" (specifying the plugin I wish to remove as a master) 3) Go through the list which is generated and delete all of those records from the STEP Patch 4) Right click the STEP Patch and select "Clean Masters" 5) Save and quit In my case, I would like to remove Immersive Citizens from my load order so that I can try out some city expansion mods (ETaC, JK's, Nernie's, etc.) If I use the method just described, will it "break" the STEP Patch in any way? Would it still effectively resolve the conflicts between the remaining STEP Extended mods? Or is there a better method to accomplish the same thing? I'm sure the STEP Patch is WAY better than whatever I might be able to put together trying to resolve the conflicts among all of the other STEP mods myself. So, if it is possible to excise the Immersive Citizens dependency from the STEP Patch then I would appreciate any advice on how to do so =)

Thank you! I love the new plugin selection menu at startup =)

Hey Mator, Thanks for all the great work! I have a question about compiling the source code from GitHub. Is this the proper method: Clone the repo from GitHub Load the .dproj file from the "frontend" folder in Delphi Select "build project" Run the new mergeplugins.exe that is generated from the frontend folder (through MO of course!) Is that correct or am I missing something? What is the purpose of the .dproj file in the backend folder? Do any libraries have to be loaded into Delphi first, or does the compiler find them automatically in the repo? Also, which branch is recommended (master or merge-plugins-10) or should they be merged in some way first? I'm still learning how to use Delphi, and I want to make sure I'm not making some huge noob mistakes in trying to use the most current versions the merge plugins standalone. Thanks again!
