    I apologize if I put this question in the wrong section. Mainly I wanted to see if it's possible to add a few different furniture mods into one mod so I don't have to miss out on some of the cute replacer interior furniture mods.

    I tried finding some "How To" videos on this question, but to no avail. Below are some examples of different furniture mods I'm in love with.

      Yep, you can merge their XNB files into one. The process is:
      1. Unpack their XNB files into images;
      2. merge those images into one image (essentially copy from one and paste into the other);
      3. Pack that one image into an XNB file;
      4. Install that XNB file to your game's Content folder.
      See creating an XNB mod for more details on how to do all that, and feel free to ask questions here or on Discord if something is unclear. :)

          What *I* did was unpack the xnb files and put them on top of each other in Photoshop. Each furniture pack was a different layer. For each furniture item I looked through each layer individually and decided which one I wanted for that particular item. Then, I cut the one item out from each layer that wasn't the once I chose. This was a time consuming process, but I don't care because I wanted some PARTICULAR items from one pack and others from the other packs. This way, you can hand pick every item from the packs and decide what you want. I did this with Barfy's Not So Shabby Chic, Mint Kisses, Cute Valley furniture, and Mi's Classy Victorian Interior. It looks really nice!
