Is combining addons useful?

[synfinity]

I have several addon hairs in my install, would it load faster or with less errors if I combined them into one addon?

I think that even with a slow PC there will hardly be any noticeable acceleration. But there's nothing wrong with trying it out ?

Combined all the hair into a single addon certainly helps the PC while loading the game, but does not increase the speed by a lot. However of course it can be done, I have all my hair in one addon, you just have to be careful when you combine them, because if you miss a single step the game will give you an error. As RidSol rightly said, a lot also depends on what PC you have.

I combined all the addon jewelry I liked a while back. It works okay, but it's such a small selection that I can't really tell if it is helping load time or stability all that much. I almost wish all those hairs had not been added as a default to VX, so many of them I don't use. Would be better to pick and choose.

Personally, I discourage Addon combining. It doesn't speed anything up or use less memory. And if just one has something wrong with it, it takes all the others down with it.

I tried using the options manager to disable the hairpack and just adjust the config file like it said to do, but a lot of the hairs I selected to keep still didn't show up in-game. Id there a trick to this?

Some hair packs share scripts, so disabling one can disable other hairs as well.

Ah, that explains it. It's a pity. I only need a few hairs from the pack.
