you can't merge more than 100 anyway right? :/ I read it somewhere on this thread so I was just merging like 50 or so at a time. Like 1-50 in my hairs folder then 51-100 etc but I suppose I could now merge the merged files... oooh this is fun! thanks guys :)
I merge more than 100 all of the time. The recommendation I have read over at MATY is just don't have merged files larger than ~600 MB. I think that is more of an issue of processing time for the file than any game limit.
The limit of 100 that you mentioned is the recommended maximum number of packages that you keep in the Mods directory of the game (totaling all files in all sub folders of that folder).
The 100 limit is one of the reasons for merging CC this way. If you don't merge them you will very quickly have over 100 files there. When you do have over 100 it slows things down, so you do what is described in this thread to turn the 100's of package files into 1 (or 2 or 3...whatever, but less than 100)
