Merging mods to increase Performance!
GraphicButterfly:
I have been experimenting with merged packages for a while now.
The best organisation method I have found is by type, then when the package is to big to be in one single file, they are alphabetized by their original filenames.
I also keep a .zip library with the unedited original single packages so i know what single packages are in the merged ones, I can then update or delete the exact file I need to.
Decided I would post my 2 cents since I have lurked long enough, and just want to add thanks for the tips.

Only the 0x73E93EEB files. As stated. If it was anything with 0x0000000000000000, then I would have said so in the steps on the original post and not been specific. The other 0x0000000000000000 files are most likely your _key files, which are manifests and part of the whole package merging process. Do no delete those. Go back and read the OP again. You will see a few suggestions on what you can delete.

Suck it and see - so far I've been deleting anything with instance 0 and it's not killed my game.
Suck it and see is not generally a reliable method, it may not have killed your game, but it might kill mine.

Ok, thanks for the confirmation.
EDIT: By the way, the process made a massive difference to my game, frame rates were jumping between 200fps to 1fps in-game causing unbearable lag, I tried loads of different graphics drivers and almost gave up on the game, the solution you posted solved all lag problems for me completely, I am so chuffed. Thank-you.

Sometimes suck it and see is the only way - and that's what backups are for.
Mea Culpa - I was wrong, but at least I had the balls to try a little empirical testing.

I almost deleted them, but my balls shrivelled at the thought.
