Combining Packages - best results?
ShortyBoo:
I do have all my cc hair merged into like 6 packages. I usually don't go above 250mb in any combined packages. Of all those hair files, I've only come across 2 custom hair files that would not combine without getting errors. Both were by HystericalParoxysm at MTS. I know one is the totally bald hairstyle and the other I don't remember since I don't have it anymore but it was definitely one of her early men's hairstyles.
I'm going to go ahead and try merging most of the mods I have. I have backups anyway, so if it doesn't work, I can always go ahead and put them back as they were. I'll probably just leave Twallan's mods out of the merged package, though. I have Master Controller along with the cheats and the tattoo expansion files and Overwatch.

most NRaas mods need to be higher priority than core mods like Awesome, or you may get problems.
That's why Awesomod is left alone, with its config it's the only non-merged files I have. I've put the merged mods package in the override folder and everything works. Keeping a folder with the unmerged files is the key, use that folder to manage the files by removing the obsolete mods and putting the updates. Merge that folder with S3PE and replace your merged package.

Your filing system sounds similar to mine. My non-merged files are sorted into folders based on what file I merge them into, so I always know which file I have to re-merge if I want to change something.
jezzer:
Mine are in about six or seven subcategory folders, and I have a separate unmerged backup. Now that you mention it, ShortyBoo, I remember now that it was early HP hairs that were throwing the error. I only have a handful of custom hairs, so it's not really that big of a deal to me to not be able to merge them. I think the majority of hairs I've downloaded were for ethnicity purposes, as EA seems to think everyone has straight, shiny hair, except that one guy with a close-cropped 'fro.
Anach:
Something to do with the way the early hairs were made before tools were updated. I don't recall exactly what the problem was though, or if it caused problems in-game.
