Installing optimized Bethesda textures for MO: is it necessary to merge three DLCs?

[peppergomez]

I've installed the Optimized Bethesda textures for MO and notice that the Optimized High Res DLC Standard files are in 3 parts, and that they result in three different mods when installed.  In the screenshot that the mod author provides, they have been merged.

 

For these three mods, should I uninstall them, then reinstall, making sure to use the same name for each so taht they install as one single mod?

There's a number of things you can do here, all of which will provide exactly the same outcome.

 

1. Don't do anything. Having three mods in the left-hand pane has no difference to the gameplay.
2. Using explorer, or any file-manager you like, move all the files from the last two mods into the folder of the first mod. The named folder is in your MO 'mods' folder.
3. Uninstall them and re-install them and do as you mention, merge them.

As mentioned, as far as the game is concerned there is no benefit to having them all in the one mod. That only makes ordering and sorting your left-hand pane easier.
