In that window, you can uncheck all the mods you want (in our case it’s just only one) to preserve them untouched and they won’t be modified at all. If you change your mind now, you will be allowed to exit the program (just click on the top-right corner of the window as you would do normally,) and then answer to the window that appears:

Ok, understand this point which is very important: the modified mod is yet unsaved and it will not be saved until you want to. Make a note of the number of "Identical to Master" records that were removed and the number of "undeleted and disabled references" for later when reporting the plugin to the LOOT team. Right click again on the plugin you are cleaning (again in our case: Update.esm) and select “Undelete and Disable References.” Again, check the Messages tab to see what was changed. Notice the removal of the Placed NPCs when they aren't needed because they were identical. On the tree pane, to the left, the mod’s content shows the records modified in a bold font:Īs you can check for yourself, the records shown are the same that were shown when first filtering.

You can open the image in a new tab to see it in full size if the text is too small for you. After it finishes, you will notice that the modified mod turned to 'bold' as a signal that it has been modified.Īnd on the other side, on the message pane, a dump of what's being removed is printed: Ok, we're approaching the end of the process.Īfter you click "Yes, I’m absolutely sure" (because you are, right? Never lie to a program!), the removing process will be executed. Just wait a few seconds, the "Yes" button will be enabled, and you can click it:ĭon't hate it! That warning is meant to prevent you accidentally changing something in a mod you didn't want to touch. The program will apply the correct filter options for cleaning, and when the filtering is finished, go to the left pane (the tree) and select the mod (in our case: Update.esm), right click on it and choose 'Remove "Identical to Master" records.' Right click on the left pane of the TES5Edit window, and in the popup menu choose "Apply Filter For Cleaning": In the picture we can see the original mod content, yet untouched and unfiltered: So don't bother it until it shows "Background Loader: finished" on the Message tab. Then search the list for the mod you want to clean and tick the checkbox beside its name, and click the OK button.Īfter that, let the program load the stuff it needs, and when it's done, it will say so. In order to do so quickly, right click on the window and then choose “Select None” So, to proceed, first deselect all the mods already checked (defined by the mods you have currently active). However, this is not always the case, especially for mods like landscape patches, so it's always best to double-check that all the plugins you expect have been loaded. Generally, this means you will only tick the specific mod you are cleaning, as most of the time any dependencies are listed inside the mod, and TES5Edit knows to load them too. In order to use this tool to clean, you should load only the mod you are cleaning and any other mods that the mod you are cleaning depends upon. The first window that opens asks you which mods to load: Here, I want to clean Sharlikran_Map_Markers_Expanded.esp, so I'll copy the plugin to the Data folder: Preparing to Clean īefore you launch TES5Edit, be sure to have the ESP you want to clean already placed in the Data folder. This tutorial should help explain everything that you need to know to clean mods correctly. Cleaning mods is critical to the development of compatibility in the modding community and for creating a stable modded game environment, but TES5Edit is not a simple utility and care must be taken not to damage the mods in the process.
