Description Merge Plugins Standalone (or just Merge Plugins), is a tool for combining mods from Bethesda games which have . ESP/. ESM files. It uses the xEdit codebase as an API, and can be used with Skyrim, Oblivion, Fallout New Vegas, Fallout 3, and Fallout 4.  Merge Plugins Standalone is the successor to my Merge Plugins xEdit Script.

Documentation

Documentation for Merge Plugins is provided in the "doc" folder in CHM and PDF format.  The provided documentation is extremely thorough, I highly recommend you at least skim it so you know what is provided.  If you post a question that is answered in the documentation, I will not answer it.  Instead, I will refer you to the section of the documentation where your question is answered.

Also note that while you're running Merge Plugins you can press F1 and click on any part of the application to access documentation on it. Additionally, most components in Merge Plugins have mouse-over hints which vary in length from a single sentence to a full paragraph.

Features Merge Plugins Standalone is a feature rich application that offers numerous advantages over my Merge Plugins Script, let alone manual merging. Below is a list of some of the most notable features:

MERGE PROFILES: Create profiles to manage different games or load orders. Each profile has its own settings and merges.

✅ Pros

  • Community-approved with 20,545 endorsements—this is a tool people swear by
  • Massive download count (421,320) shows it's been battle-tested by thousands
  • Does exactly what it says: merges plugins and assets without fuss

⚠️ Cons

  • Last updated in 2016—might not work with newer game versions or modding tools
  • No detailed instructions or feature list provided, so you'll need to figure out the workflow yourself
  • Requires understanding of plugin structure; not for casual mod users
🎯 Is This For You?
For mod authors and advanced users who juggle many plugins and need to consolidate them. If you're a casual player just adding a few mods, this is overkill. Skip if you're not comfortable with technical modding concepts.

💡 Beginner Tips

  • Before merging, always back up your original plugins—merging is irreversible without backups.
  • Test merged plugins in a new game save to ensure stability before using your main save.
  • Check if your game version is compatible with this 2016 tool; newer games may need alternative solutions.
