Highlight Mod A.esp in the window that comes up.

Once it's loaded, select the folder in the top left again. Load Mod A.esp as the active file and its masters, including Mod B.esp.

Once the CK loads, select the folder icon in the top left.

If for any reason that doesn't work for you, or you'd prefer not to use TES5Edit to remove the master, then close TES5Edit and save your changes to Mod A.esp and Mod B.esp.

Now close TES5Edit and save any changes you made to Mod A.esp and Mod B.esp. Right click on the name of the master you don't want in the right hand window, and select remove.

In my case, Mod B.esp is the 'target mod' because I want to merge it into my mod, not the other way around.

Once TES5Edit has loaded, select the mod you want to merge into your mod.

Give it some time, since it may take a little while.

Once you've selected the appropriate boxes, click the OK button at the bottom of the list.

Usually, the masters will be Skyrim.esm and Update.esm.

Left click the checkbox next to the two mods you're merging, as well as their masters.

This will make sure none of the boxes are checked, so we don't have to go through the entire list and deselect each one we don't want to load.
