well as the read me said, adding mods on top of GFO shouldnt be a problem as long as you keep in mind that other mods were based on the stock game files so the files changed by another mod will undo all the changes made to that file except those done by the mod your using.

as an example the ship sim files are changed in GFO to adjust the ship acceleration times so any mod you add that uses a stock ship sim file will now also revert the ship back to the stock speed settings so the mod would work but a side effect is the ship accerlereation fix would no longer be there.

with a little care taken these things can be worked out by figuring out what the mod you want to use will do to the file and you make that change yourself to the GFO file so you add the new element you want without losing other changes made to the same file.

in the case of a large mod with many files you can try it and see but it may not be compatable. if that is the case then you can add the elements from GFO that you like to the other mod and it may be easier to add things to that mod than to change so much of GFO by adding another large mod on top of it. this is why i try to make a stand alone version of every mod so that you have many options to customize the game your own way.

i would say to open both mods side by side and compare how many of the same files they share (not folders but the individual files themselves) then you may have a better idea of what you may lose in combining them together.

if you send me a PM with the list of these files i can tell you what things they mod in the game so you know what you could be losing from GFO. if you know what your doing maybe i can tell you how to change the files to merge them all together as long as you remember sometimes some mod changes just arent compatable with others.
