About this mod
It's not a Merge, it's a DogPack. This mostly automated method allows using 1 pair of BA2, loaded by 1 plugin, for 12 mods. Also, three mods which had loose files, will be packed into better performing BA2 archives. Plus, texture mods are packed up too. None of the mod Plugins now take an ESP plugin load order slot.

BBcode is a minor abomination. So this description is minimal.
Download the file and read the included PDF. Page 1 explains Everything. The rest is a combo of a batch file and automation with 7zip, Bethesda Archive Patcher, and Cathedral Asset Optimizer to make all this work.
Every mod is API linked in the DPF.
Features:
An Important Consideration
Some of the mods in this DogPack have been compacted for ESL. Patches previously made for the them will have to be rebuilt to work with the compacted versions. Some or all of the FormID will not match now.

Features:
- Use the mods you like, but not the others. Simply disable the included DogPack dependant plugin(s) or ignore downloading the DogPack dependant plugin(s).
- The DogPack is created outside a mod manager so this method works for those very close to the ESP or BA2 limit.
- xEdit use is not required. The dependant mods already have the master file set. Some are downloaded (due to other file edits) and some are included in this mod.
- Remove a mod (plugin) from your game and the DogPack still works without regeneration.
- Additional patches are added as part of making the DogPack.
- Other patches to mods may be installed outside the DogPack.
- Add similar mods (if you are careful and think through the process).
