Sum merged patch

[Copywrite85 0]

I am using Skyre Reproccer in my SUM.  To utilize the merged patch feature which I hear solves issues; I need to change an ESM of reproccerdragonborn.esp; I need to switch it from Reproccer.esp to SUM.esp (reason being after the SUM merged patch reproccer.esp wont exist/not be used anymore.  When ever I try to switch it from reproccer.esp to SUM.esp (I navigate through MY MO directory to get to SUM.esp in the 'overwrite' folder) I get the following error message "File must be selected from oblivion date files directory".  Help.

The previous issue has been handled.  Now its just AV refuses to work Under SUM in MO.  I either get blank error messages which crash java, or I get a message saying AV failed to run and do I want to continue.  I am thinking of reorganizing my MO directory so all the skyproc patch mods are in the same folder as SUM; other than that I have 0 ideas.  Help.

Make sure you install (or do a re-install) of the correct java version as per SUM instructions.

I just used the Java link on the sum page.  I will try both the 64 and 32 bit versions i guess.

Ok...whatever benefit you get from using a sum merged patch can't be worth this stress. /thread

I had a similar issue. It was file-pathing. Neovalen's Skyrim Revisited could use a bit more detailed instructions about installing AV and optimizing the texture packs (no offense, Neovalen, I still got love for ya <3)

 

This is what works for me:

 

1. Download and install Automatic Variants.

2. Download AV packages, DO NOT install via Mod Organizer.

3. Copy/Merge ONLY the Skyproc Patches folder from each AV pack directly into the Skyproc Patches folder in the Automatic Variants folder.

4. Profit.

 

I haven't reoptimized my stuff yet and, honestly, a combination of all that temp foldering and not understanding how bad I was screwing up the pathing by installing to MO and then copy and pasting folders without knowing what I was doing is why I went astray in the first place. I am probably going to optimize again, or copy in the already optimized textures I have from packs. But really, running SUM takes 5-10 minutes with just AV and Dual Sheathe Redux (which I don't love anyway) so I'm wary of making changes unless I am 100% sure I need to.

 

Automatic Variants is, however, one of the best mods alive.

This sounds like it'll work.  Thanks allot man.

No worries. It was Aiyen who helped me out, though it took a while for me to understand his instructions!
