This includes mods containing Papyrus scripts (.pex files), NAVM/NAVI (navmesh) records and FormIDs (new objects created by the plugin).ДЄ very thorough tutorial on installing, configuring and using Mator Merge Plugins Standalone by Gamer Poets can be found here Merge Plugins: Start to Finish.ДЇor mods that don't create objects used by other mods that aren't being merged, the resulting merged mod should be free of any problems. Mator's Merge Plugins utility can be used to merge theoretically any installed mod with any other installed mod following 'The Rule of One', which requires that the behaviour of the assets after the merge are identical to their behaviour before. Support for this utility is available as part of Mator Utilities Support on the STEP site. The FAQ in the Nexus description for the Merge Plugins is also quite valuable since it covers the major issues associated with merging plugins including problems caused by changing FormIDs (as discussed later in this guide). It is now possible to merge Fallout and Oblivion plugins, a particularly useful feature since Fallout NV cannot handle nearly as many plugins as other Bethesda games. Mator's Merge Plugins utility has evolved to where it provides a simple way to do even complex merges.

Merging Mods Without Conflicts Automatic Merging of Multiple plugins with Merge Plugins The rest of this guide discusses several tools used for mod merging and conflict resolution. In Skyrim, SkyProc is used by several active Skyrim mods (e.g., ASIS, Dual Sheath Redux) to create mod-specific patches. This guide does not cover the use of patches created by SkyProc or other similar tools. Merge Plugins requires the most recent version of ењЋdit which is available at the Fallout 4 reference above. The x in ењЋdit stands for the first three letters of each of the separate editors for each of the Bethesda games. Mators Merge Plugins provides very capable mod merging tools that can be used across all the Bethesda games that are much more capable than any older merging tools. Until recently the only tools that could provided automatic merging of mods for Bethesda games were TES4Gecko which automatically merges Oblivion plugins, and FNVPlugin which merges Fallout New Vegas plugins. With the exception of the Wrye Bash methods below, all the techniques described here require a good understanding of TES5Edit (or equivalents for other games including TES3Edit for Morrowind, TES4Edit for Oblivion, FO3Edit for Fallout 3, FNVEdit for Fallout New Vegas, FO4Edit for Fallout 4), and the record structures of plugins. The techniques below are listed in order of increasing complexity. Some of these methods create or merge compatibility patches for multiple mods using a single esp plugin, thus reducing the need for multiple esp plugins to provide compatibility patches for various pairs of mods. There are multiple methods that can be used to merge all or portions of esp plugin files to allow large collections of plugins to fit inside the plugin limit of Bethesda games. This small guide outlines the primary methods for merging existing plugins and for creating plugins that merge conflict resolutions and content for multiple mods. While this may seem like a lot, most heavily modded games need more plugins than allowed with this limit.
