ok, i'm new but i've been lurking and reading some stuff here.
i know many people have said merging the thief 3 missions into one single mission would be very time consuming and all, but would it be very difficult to simply merge the regular missions together?
forget about the city, i would just like to play the regular missions (which have like 2 sections) together, like the mansion for example.

This would be much easier than merging city sections at least, though not easy at all. The most difficult thing would probably be trying to fit the geometry back together, as they don't always match exactly (or even anywhere close, in some cases). The scripting has a lot of "When map starts" scripts that would need to be changed as well, but probably a fraction as many as a city section, with the exception of the Haunted House which probably has 5x more scripting than the city sections :p

not to mention that some weird shit starts happening with the static meshes when you start merging them. Certain static meshes cause the level not to load.
