#Fallout 4 how to combine mods mods

things like a whole bunch of weapons in one esp. There is also some cool merge packs you can find around the internet. There is a size limit on ba2's so you might need to make more than one but you will save esp slots this way. Consolidate all your textures as loose viles, make one esp called MyTextures.esp or whatever and pack them all into ba2 with same name. guys like SpiffySkytrooper will add a dummy esp and pack into a ba2 even when its just a few textures. Other one is any sort of texture replacer. Have saved about 20 or more slots so far I'd say. It was no dependencies other than the vanilla game and its dlc.

I make anything that is vanilla record edits into one mod I call EspTweaks. You can always try to convert your final merged ESP to ESL or ESM and see how it plays out in the end. If you have a fast computer, you can just unpack them as loose, as needed until they are all sorted out, the roll em up. Incidentally, 'Loose files' will 'Kill' BA2 files, so there may be errata on the way to your goal. What I am working on/proposing is to eliminate the back and forth, over and under, in advance. Ultimately with 'the many files' you will have to do a Bash Patch, Smash, or zPatch. Leveled lists, (i am recently realizing), are better off as their own file alone).Д®SMs will be overruled, since ESPs load later/over Masters.Д®SLs have no 'overwrite' priority which essentially makes them 'ignored' in many cases.ДЇor instance 'Dead Body Collision' and 'Realistic Death Physics' along with other such 'Game Settings' might as well not exist otherwise.

My Findings so far, For Best Results don't merge environment/cell edit/worldspace/scripted mods to start. Think that was just pretty well covered by Vlits, (with some notes added). It's onme of those programs i dive into and thrash violently about until I'm out of the deep water, until i learn to swim. tinkering in FO4edit.ДЄFAIC, the CK is a monster until you know what knits to pick.

So if you do a bash patch, smash, or zpatch its already figured in/out. Think keep it an esp and put it late in LO so it has the last word and power to overwrite other ESPs. (There's a tool in there for that, i just don' t know which or how).Д®asiest thing to do is get all the mods with no sub-files, often just 'game settings' more or less, and wad em up. What I don't know what to do is if it has same form IDs in master you're messed. If you want the versions in the plugin you are merging into to win, use regular Deep Copy as Override' Assuming Merged Plugins works for FO4, that would be better as it seems to have options for handling those files.Д¬opy as override will skip any record that already exists in the target plugin, so if the mod you are merging has a change you want to keep, you have to use the (with overwriting) option. And keep in mind, once you have merged a mod, you can't update.ДЄlso, if a mod has any external files that depend on plugin name or formID, this method won't help with those. Think it was Vlits just took me to school on this:ДЎ) Load the plugin you are merging after the one you are merging intoДў) Right click plugin name -> Add Master, select the mod you are merging intoДЈ) Right click plugin name -> Inject forms into master, select the mod you are merging intoД¤) Deep Copy as override (with overwriting)*, select the mod you are merging into.Д«efore merging (using any method), make sure any patches that depend on the mod you are merging are loaded, so that the formIDs in those patches will be properly changed. This question would fit into the 'Fallout4 mods' - forum, but also here, because technically speaking, when you merge mods, you create a 'new' ESP file, so it is 'mod creation'.

Sorry, if this isn't the right place to ask a question like this. I have already tried to 'merge all the small mods' before (mostly weapon mods) and it didn't work quiet well (about 30 % of the weapons didn't work after the 'merge'). Keep in mind that I also want to use some of those mods as 'master files' for things that I am working on (I think it is possible to have a mod 'depend' on an ESL file, right?)

Most of the mods have their assets in archived files, but that shouldn't be a problem (just unpack all of them, 'put them together' and pack them togehter again, so everything is in one archive file, right?) Merge all the small mods OR convert them into ESL files (whenever it is possible)? So, I thought I would just merge all of the 'smaller mods' together into one or two ESPs.Д«ut as I started looking into this a bit, I read somewhere that you can simply 'make a small ESP into an ESL' with FO4Edit. Most of the mods are 'small mods', like 'custom weapon' mods, but there are also some larger ones. ) and currently I am getting very very close to the 255 (256?) ESP - file limit.
