This was meant to be about for example a texture file being overwritten by another one and not about two esps making changes to the same object.:) I see that. Still good advice.;). 0Grapher: I see why you think that but that isn't correct. What I remembered was that at least Nexus Mod Manager adds the overwritten files in again.
