Merges Page

Introduction

In This section we will be using a Program called Merge Plugin Standalone to reduce the overall esp count. Once mods are merged using Merge Plugins Standalone the originals can be deactivated in Mod Organizer.

New users are advised to check out THIS video by Michael of Gamerpoets to learn how to use Merge Plugins. It is quite long, but well worth watching, some parts can be easily skipped via the video's navigation tabs.

It is strongly recommended that a new Profile be created within Mod Organizer for each Merge this will help workflow later on this 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 "SRLE Extended LOTD" then click [Copy].
* Type "<Insert Name of Merge>" in the text box and hit [OK].
