Instead of using FNVEdit by itself to create a compatibility patch for all of your mods, it can be used along side Wrye Flash to create a more stable game that allows more changes from your mods to work.

Wrye Flash creates it's patches using Bash tags, which are set by the mod author. These tags allow the program to more accurately merge the files than FNVEdit, because only the tagged items are patched. FNVEdit on the other hand, pulls the entire record from the master and attempts to make sense of it all. In other words, Wyre Bash is more precise.

FNVEdit is still needed though, because sometimes mods have missing tags or there are 2 mods attempting to edit the same thing and you must decide which one you want to use. To fix these issues, it is recommended that you make an Manual Patch.
