I dont think there is much point in merging more advanced mods right now like u said better wait for full mod support on Bethesda side, by the way you know that nuka world is not going to be last DLC it was announced yesterday I heard 4 or 3 more DLC's incoming
they finally listened to us.
I tried to merge more complicated mods yesterday did not end well come out with lots of bugs, best one was hundreds of cat spawning next to me every time I killed one another spawned ended up with mountains of dead cats, dont judge I thought I could get rid of them like that, had to load back the save and get rid of that merged plug-in.
well I can wait a bit still can use 8 more plug-ins
