- Download 'MergeCell - DC_Optimization' from this mod's misc file section.
- Extract downloaded file and drop 'Edit Scripts' folder directly into FO4Edit's.
- You'll need to run dedicated scripts for each 'DCX_Optimization.esp', 'DSL_DCX_Optimization.esp', 'DCGuard_Optimization.esp', 'DVC_Optimization.esp' and/or 'DSL_DVC_Optimization.esp' individually. Followings are example for 'DSL_DCX_Optimization.esp'.
