#HOW TO USE TES5EDIT CONVERT TO AN ESM MANUAL#
Recently Arthmoor has brought to the attention of the community additional information regarding manual cleaning of Dawnguard.esm, which everyone needs to do for their own setup same as automatic cleaning ( because nobody can legally upload official master files anywhere, everyone needs to do their own )Copied from (link provided below) In addition there are three remaining edits to the Dawnguard.ESM file (not made by the automatic cleaning filter.) Before you close and save after the second Dawnguard cleaning, please complete the section below. You will find 6 additional ITM records to remove. When you finish cleaning Dragonborn, load SSEedit one last time and clean the Dawnguard master a second time. SSEEdit updated to version 3.2, Testing shows that a minor issue, has surfaced again. When the background loading is done, filter, clean, and save. Select Skyrim.esm, Update.esm, and Dragonborn.esm. When the background loading is done, filter, clean, and save just as before.įinally do it all one last time for Dragonborn.esm. Now lets do exactly the same thing for Hearthfires.esm, simply select Skyrim.esm, Update.esm, and Hearthfires.esm. When everything is done simply click the "X" to close and save the file. Right click on Dawnguard.esm on the left pane, and again "Apply Filter for Cleaning" and wait for the filter to complete loading, then remove "Identical to Master" records, and "Undelete and disable References" exactly as described above for Update.esm Open SSEedit again, right click in the selection menu and choose "Select None" again, this time put a check in the Skyrim.esm, Update.esm, and the Dawnguard.esm boxes, then click OK, and wait for the background operations to complete again.

Seeing how quick and easy this is, please just do them in order and save yourself any aggravation. It is NOT a good idea to open all of the masters at once, and might cause problems later. Now we simply repeat the process for each of the DLCs one at a time. Note - it is not neccessary to back up the original plugin, but you can if you prefer. In order to save the changes simply click the "X" on the top right corner of the window to close SSEedit and it will bring up the save window. Right click on Update.esm one last time and select Undelete and Disable ReferencesĬongradulations, update.esm is done. There will be an "Are you absolutely sure" window, hover over the yes button for a few seconds and it will become available, click Yes, then wait for the script to complete. Right click on Update.esm again and select Remove "Identical to Master" records. Then again wait for the opperation to complete. Right click on Update.esm in the left pane, and select "Apply Filter for Cleaning". Open SSEedit, right click in the Master/Plugin selection window, and choose "Select None" then put a check in the boxes for Skyrim.esm, and Update.esm, Click OK, then wait for the background loading proccess to complete. Therefore it needs to be cleaned first, and by itself. Update.esm is the file that brings Skyrim up to the current build, and as such is a required file for all other DLCs. Then just double click on the data folder after sellecting the correct game. I find it useful to pause for a moment at the X:/Steam/Steamapps/Common folder when I'm selecting the game to edit. Please be careful when you're navagating to the data folder as the two games are virtually identical. Please make sure to keep all of the files together, but nothing needs to be "installed" just right click on TES5edit or SSEEdit.exe and select "send to" and desktop to make a shortcut.
#HOW TO USE TES5EDIT CONVERT TO AN ESM DOWNLOAD#
(Actually they are the same program, you can simply rename it, I'm just trying to keep it simple)Įxtract the download to your preferred tools folder, or simply to your game drive. The procedures are exactly the same but the number of files cleaned/undeleted in the screen shots will not exactly match.

Note, the newest WIP versions of Xedit (3.3.5 Beta at the time of this writing) clean a little more than when the guide was released. Please make sure you download the current version. There is only one tool required for cleaning your master files, and that is Xedit.
