"Tes5Edit is one of the most powerful tools when it comes to modding Skyrim. The software can take you from crashes every hour to being as stable as vanilla ever could be. In this guide I will attempt to explain in detail the concept of a merged patch. A merged patch is very close to the same concept as a bash patch except a merged patch handles everything within a ESP file whereas a bash patch handles only the leveled list. This can fix issues ranging from incorrect armor values to items not being placed in game, from npcs not having the correct conversation options to weapons being extremely weak. I hope you will take the time to read through this guide and further your knowledge of modding, let us begin."
