Regarding Willow.. seems that's not possible as the old 1.09 file was removed and only the esp file was left.

Yuki Mods Merged

Start FNVEdit, the double click "Yuki Merged Mods.esp".

1. Right click "Yuki Merged Mods.esp" and select "Apply Script"
2. Choose "Generate Bash Tags" from the dropdown and click [OK]
3. When asked to add the tags to the header, select [Yes]
   • Tags that should be added:
     • Actors.ACBS
     • Actors.AIData
     • Actors.AIPackages
     • Actors.DeathItem

     • Factions
     • Graphics

FNVEdit didn't not detect and create the "Actors.AIPackages" BASH tag.. should I add this manually?

• New Vegas Type 3 Armors Only V2_1

 

These aren't two main files. These are your choices.

 

- The first one includes the T3 non-nude body and armor.

- The second includes only Armor, so you can install i.e. the nude T3 body

Will be changed to the new version when I get home from work.

Odd, maybe I updated the version number and forgot to check for ITMs. Will look into it.

The merges sometimes behave dfferently, not sure why, and hence the script adds different tags than in the guide. Adding it manually won't hurt either way, but I'm probably removing the checklist from the guide soon.

guide says use LOOT 8.1, is that a must or can I use 9.1? Can we also use 7.4.0.0 for New Vegas Anti Crash instead of 7.2.1.0?

Yes for both.

Always nice to see this kind of thing as although it may seem nitpicky clarity is everything.

[Ninthspartan101]

Ok i have a problem. When i am createing the first merged plugin the guide says -

 

Bash tags need to be added for the plugin. It is a good idea to do it now by starting FNVEdit and following these instructions:

1. From the list of plugins double click "Tweaks and Fixes.esp"
2. When FNVEdit loads, right click "Tweaks and Fixes.esp" and select "Apply Script"
3. Choose "Generate Bash Tags" from the dropdown and click [OK]

 

But there is no Generate Bash Tags option in the dropdown. am i missing something?

[MonoAccipiter]

Yes. The part in FNVEdit installation that says "Install additional xEdit scripts:".

 

1. Download the scripts here and here.
2. Navigate to the scripts in windows explorer and move the scripts to the ...FNVEdit\Edit Scripts folder.

I posted a separate thread before seeing this one.

 

Nexus has a new version of CaliberX that was posted in November 2016. The instructions in the guide say to use an older version of the mod. Is that by intent or does the guide need updating to account for the new version of CaliberX?
