The next part of the guide is on how to clean your save if its corrupted, save bloated or if you re-ordered your mods (through LOOT if you used BOSS) or uninstalled mods half-way through. There, the boring and challenging part is over. Then right click bashed patch and click rebuild patch. Now go back to Wrye Bash, and put your merged patch directly above (no other mod above/below) bashed patch. Wait for that to make, then exit TES5Edit and save the patch. Then right click one of the mods (doesn't really matter which), go to other and then select create merged patch. Open TES5Edit (again, you may notice its used a lot) and select all mods (but de-select bashed patch.esp) and wait for things to fully load. Now when you see all mods green, and there are no dirty edits. But, it is a lot nicer knowing each mod in Wrye Bash is a nice green (healthy) color. It may do nothing, or it may cause errors if out of order. I did a lot of searching, and no one says anything about out of order mods or what happens if they are. What out of order mods do.honestly don't know and I couldn't find it googling at all. Then just press sort masters after right clicking the mod and again, close TES5Edit and repeat for each out of order mod listed by Wrye Bash. Go through TES5Edit and open each mod (one at a time, so when you fix the mod, close and open again with each mod) that says masters re-ordered. Open Wrye Bash and you may see some mods are marked in orange (if any mods are red, you missed a step in installing the mod, go look at the mod page and get the required mods).it will say masters have been re-ordered. Boring and like I said, tedious, but needed part of modding. Each time a mod is cleaned, you have to close TES5Edit again. Then right click that mod, click apply filter for cleaning (may need to wait again) and then remove identical masters and then do undelete and disable references.Ĭlose TES5Edit (save the mod of course) and then open it again and repeat if any other mod needs cleaning.

Now select only the mod that needs cleaning (it may open other mods that mod uses as masters, that is normal) and wait for it to load everything. From here, if LOOT says a mod needs cleaning.open up TES5Edit and get that mod cleaned! Dirty edits can slowly corrupt your Skyrim.įirst, open TES5Edit and unselect all mods. TES5Edit is an incredibly important tool alongside LOOT. Its pretty easy to use, so I won't go into that. LOOT provides a list of mods that need cleaning, any errors within the mods and sorts them to a mostly proper load order (some mods may still need to be manually moved). I used BOSS, and it corrupted my saves after a while and LOOT fixed it up.more on that later. The first, and arguably most important tool is LOOT. First part of the guide is a list of tools to use while modding.
