Then you'll likely end up with a fancy-hatted piper, but no black skin because the fancy hat mod overwrote the black skin.ДЇO4Edit sees that fallout4.esm's Piper and piperfancyhat.esp's Piper are identical, except for the fancy hat. If you have a mod that gives Piper black skin, and another that gives her a fancy hat, and it's loaded/installed like this:

Creating a Merged Patch allows ењЋdit, using its rules, to assign higher priority to resources inside of a low-priority plugin. The priority rules are jacked for the time being.Дisabling pieces of a Patch is more of a Wrye Bash thing, and even then you're better off taking a second and finding out why they're to be a part of the BP.ДЄs far as merging plugins themselves - that's different than creating a merge patch.

Learn to manually edit plugins with ењЋdit (super easy - check out youtube).ДЇO4Edit Merged Patch is unsupported as heck.

'Step 5: Disable all plugins, then re-check the plugins not a part of your merged patch' What'd I miss? Is there a 'For Dummies' version of the instructions out there for those of us who let our brains relax on the weekend? After going in circles, it's been hours and I still have yet to actually play. I tried Googling this, but inevitably the instructions for making a merged patch all referenced similarities to creating a bashed one, and bashed instructions referred to how to make a merged one. My understanding was that the merge created a single reference pointer collection that targets all of the files used by the plugins which have been merged.

Load Fallout4 and enjoy 255+ mods and/or increased stability Disable all plugins, then re-check the plugins not a part of your merged patchД§. Create merged patch (right click bottom plugin in load order and choose merge.ДҐ. The understanding I had of a merged patch was: 1. Things like survival console override, a shell casing discharge mod, and Northland Diggers were just not present in the game. When I took the merged patch back into NMM, it showed my merge had some dependencies I needed to re-enable:Д®ven after re-enabling them, MANY features are missing from my Fallout that have nothing to do with conflicts. The merge created with the only errors being on some armor textures, so I thought it would work. I loaded up FO4Edit after a LOOT sort and selected every ESM and ESP that wasn't a Bethsoft original. I've got too many mods in Fallout 4 for the lead byte that handles the load order, and need to trim back below 255. I've been playing my Bethesda games modded for years, but there's a concept I never quite grasped (I think). P.S: If the original mod you want to merge in another plugin comes with a ba2 file you have to extract the meshes/textures/materials in it, and to do so you can use this tool.

Open the BGSM file you want to modify, go to 'Material' section and check if the first 3 lines point to the right path for the diffuse (d.dds), normal (n.dds) and specular (s.dds) files. To open and/or edit BGSM files you can use this tool. Once I fixed that I noticed that there were still invisible rifles, then I remembered that unlike Skyrim Fallout 4 uses an additional format for textures: the material file (BGSM format). For example, some time ago I had an invisible gun, I opened the nif model in Nifskope to discover that the texture path under the NiNode > BsTriShape > BSLightingShaderProperty was completely wrong. If you get purple textures or invisible objects you may need to change the texture path of the weapon nif.
