TES5Edit mod merging question - related to SR:LE guide


Question

Posted

Hi all,

 

In the SR:LE guide I noticed some of the ESPs can be combined:

Files to merge:ClimatesOfTamriel-Dawnguard-Patch.espClimatesOfTamriel-Dragonborn-Patch.espClimatesOfTamriel FalskaarCoT-WeatherPatch.espCoT-WeatherPatch_DB.espCoT-WeatherPatch_Snow-40.esp

That's really great news to me because I am now at 253 plugins.  But I also have the Supreme Storms plugins that are mixed in with the above ESPs in my load order.  I would like to know if you think it's safe to include those too?  Here are the all plugins I would like to merge:

ClimatesOfTamriel-Dawnguard-Patch.espClimatesOfTamriel-Dragonborn-Patch.espClimatesOfTamriel Falskaar.espSupreme Storms - Cot Version.espCoT-WeatherPatch.espCoT-WeatherPatch_DB.espCoT-WeatherPatch_Snow-40.espCoT-WeatherPatch_SupStorms.espCoT-WeatherPatch_NL2.esp

Just looking for opinions here before I try it, I doubt anyone knows for sure. :ermm:

FWIW I went ahead and tried it and so far everything looks OK.  I forced vanilla rain/snow storms and got the Supreme Storms versions, and also I forced ToC rain/snow storms and got the Supreme Storms version of those too (I use BOTH the vanilla and CoT versions of Supreme Storms).  I know I'm getting the Supreme Storms versions because it adds in the blowing mist to those.  Here were the tests I ran:

 

fw c8220 (vanilla rainstorm)

fw c8221 (vanilla snowstorm)

fw 0c044831 (CoT rainstorm)

fw 0c047e31 (CoT snowstorm)

 

I called the new plugin "CoT-WeatherPatch.esp" so that BOSS would sort it correctly, and created a separate mod for it which I added through MO and placed the mod underneath the others in the mod load order, and of course I moved all the other 9 plugins to the "Optional ESPs" pane in their respective mods so that those plugins would not be loaded.

 

If this merge continues to work out I just saved myself 8 plugins.  ::): If not, I will just remove it and re-enable the original 9 plugins.

 

Hope that helps someone else.

I have a list of plugins I've merged with that script on my STEP profile page. It might give you some ideas on what you could successfully merge with the TES5Edit 1.65 script.

Pro tip I got from DoubleYou: after creating the merged plugin, Exit TES5Edit, Launch TES5Edit & select just the new merged plugin, Then Error Check. When I ran the error check without exiting TES5Edit was not finding existing errors.

 

* you can merge a lot of the right type of plugins without issue.
