Merging mods to increase Performance!
geminia:
With a decent amount of packaged files (around 150-200) my game was running fine,. I added a few, 'bout 20 I'd say, it got uber laggy. Merged most of them and still game is laggy...Even though none of them had any issues. I do have a slightly better loading time on main screen but build/buy and CAS are getting pretty annoying....Just for the record , with the merging I managed to end up with 50 files or so, in total. I did not merge hair, mods and replacements. Besides those I have one file for all my furniture, one for decorations, 1 for cars, 1 for build items and one for clothing. I still have extra CC installed the launcher way, because since the latest patch it seems to behave.

Actually, merging hair files has worked fine for me, and has in fact caused the most noticeable decrease in load time and lag. You just want to test the hair file out to make sure it doesn't cause any problems before merging (Newsea, for example, loves to produce really laggy package files).

Speaking of hair, I accidentally deleted my hair backup with individual files, and just have the big package. Can I extract from it the individual hairs, to make another big one with the new hairs added, or just delete a few? I am spring cleaning.

Unfortunately Indiasong, I don't believe extracting a particular object from a dbc or large package is possible. Your individual package files are more important than the one large package because without them you can't create another large package with updated items or items removed.

Currently the only way to remove stuff from a merged file is to re-merge the whole lot minus the files you don't want. So keeping your individual files is important.
On another note, I updated the main thread to point to the main S3PE download area rather than the old version it was currently linking to. New version works well.
