 But this isn't always a good idea. Consider these scenarios:
-# What if you have one large mod and want to offer several optional tweaks to various aspects of the main mod? Maybe it isn't a problem to have several versions on the first release, but how quickly are you going to get tired of repeating this process each time you update the main mod? Maybe you actually need the optional tweaks to be kept in separate add-on files?

-# What if you want to use something from one of the official DLC mods?

 Mods based on Oblivion.esm don't have this problem because it's a '''master''' file (ESM). Multiple add-on plugins (ESPs) can alter it at the same time without any problems. Unfortunately, TESCS doesn't let you use plugins as masters, even though the game engine actually doesn't mind at all.
