Note: This guide assumes you are using MO2.įirst download TES5Edit, then install to MO2 like you would SKSE or any other app that needs access to your game and mod files. While it is illegal to download or host cleaned master files, cleaning them yourself is relatively simple. Doing this helps to prevent possibly game-breaking bugs and mod conflicts.

Cleaning Master Files īefore installing Skyrim SE or LE mods, it is best to "clean" your game's master files. If you are using Mod Organizer 2, Skyrim and all modding tools must be started through the MO2 interface, otherwise the game will not load your mods. MO2 comes with a tutorial that runs on first opening to guide you through the downloading of one mod the Unofficial Patches are a good place to start, as you will likely want them anyway. Your chosen mod manager should be downloaded and installed into your new mod management directory. While Vortex is modern and supported by the Nexus, MO2 is generally considered superior, especially for power-users. Nexus Mod Manager is now deprecated and has been replaced by the proprietary Vortex manager. Mod Organizer 2 (MO2) is the preferred manager, and has increased functionality over other mod managers such as Nexus Mod Manager (NMM). While a few utilities, such as SKSE and Wrye Bash, need to be installed directly in the Skyrim game directory in order to function properly, the majority of your downloads can be kept in a separate location, from where your Mod Manager tool can efficiently manage them.įor best performance, your new Mod Management directory should be on the same hard drive as your Skyrim installation.

Its not hard but its fairly time consuming.Ĭreated by Dienes on 19:43.Create a Mod Management Directory Ĭreating a new folder, or "directory", to store your mods and mod utilities in allows the vanilla Skyrim folder to stay as clean as possible. Be sure to save your edits from time to time (ctrl + s) in case you make a mistake. I had to choose which ones I wanted to actually show up and drag those entries to the custom esp. Here is one where there were several mods that conflicted. Repeat for all the conflicting outfits but instead of copying to a new file copy to the one you made before. It should automatically add the item to the winning outfit. Click and drag the bandolier entry to the open slot in the new plugin and release.

So we just changed the winning outfit to be the IA one, to actually merge them we need to add the bandolier entry. It will change to look like this, more or less. and then choose new file, give it a name like merged outfits and hit ok, say ok to adding masters. Right click the top of the overwritten entry and choose copy as override into. As you can see Immersive Armors adds custom armor to the redguard mercs, but bandoliers is overwritting that change. Click it and you will see the actual records on the right. We want the red ones since that means something is being overwritten. Red means conflict loser, green mean winner, white is no conflict. It will show all the top level groups of records, if you see outfits expand that one too, otherwise skip the mod and move on. Start at the top and hit the little + next to the mod to expand it. First open all your mods and wait for it to say background loader finished, this can take a while. TestEdit isn't that hard to use but it is rather intimidating.

Save your new file with ctrl + s, then exit tesedit and enable your patch and you are good to go. Wait a little and it will spit out new esp with the merged objects and leveled lists in it. Give your new patch a name like "merged Patch" (without the quotes) and click ok. Once it is done loading right click in the left side panel and choose Other > Create Merged Patch.

When its done it will say Background loader finished. Make sure all the mods you want to use are checked and click ok. Its not user friendly but most users only really want to make a merged patch with it which is fortunately easy.Īfter you have used BOSS to sort your load order open tesedit. Tes5Edit is a very powerful plugin editing program.
