Introduction

NOTE:

Make sure Mod Organizer 2 is running in portable mode!

NOTE:

Make sure you don't use Merge Plugins if you have it installed. It won't work and will break everything! Users following the guide to the letter can disregard this notice.

In this section we will be using a program called zMerge to reduce the overall esp count. Once mods are merged using zMerge you can manually move the plugin to the Optional Directory with Mod Organizer 2 or use Merge Plugin Hide to move all the plugins in a merge at the same time.

It is strongly recommended that a new profile be created within Mod Organizer for each Merge (merge profile). This will help workflow later on, and can be done by:

* Click the [Configure Profiles] icon at the top of the main Mod Organizer window. The icon looks like an id card.
* Select "Legacy Of The Dragonborn - Special Edition" then click [Copy].
* Type "<Insert Name of Merge>" in the text box and hit [OK].
* For each merge profile, right click and [Deactivate all mods]
* For each merge profile, manually check the boxes on the left for all mods (and their masters) for each Merged patch.
* You can use the [Namefilter] function at the bottom right of MO2's Left Pane to display ONLY the checked mods, making it much easier to see mods of interest.
* Run LOOT for each merge profile.
* Once LOOT has sorted your load order, hand place all ESPs that are to be merged at the bottom of the Right Pane in the order described for each merge.

Idiot check make sure you don't move your mods folder out of Mod Organizer 2 base folder

Creating a Merge

In this section, I will describe the process of creating a Merge. Make sure you setup zMerge as per Section 17 zMerge setup instructions on the Prerequisites Page

Setup the Mod Organizer 2 Merge Profile.
Active the mods you wish to merge plus all their required masters.
Open zEdit and select zMerge from the drop-down menu along with the profile you wish to use.
Press Start Session.
Hit Create Merge Button.
In the new window under the Detail tab fill in the Name and File Name of the merge. Select the "Clobber" merge method.
Under the Plugins Tab tick what plugins you wish to merge.
Click the data tab make sure Copy General Assets is Unchecked (anything else can remain Checked) then hit OK.
Hit Build
when you see "Merge successfully created" you can click the x and close zMerge.
Activate the merge
Navigate back to your main game profile then you can either use Merge Plugins hide or manually change the esps to the Optional Directory by double clicking them in the left pane and going to the optional tab.

Check out These sexy screenshot showing how easy it is to create a merge.

Idiot check make sure you are using v0.6.4 of zEdit
