Make backups of your plugins and report any issues in the official Bethesda thread. If you have never used TES5Edit, Wiki P ages and basic videos are available. Starting from 3.0.30 we need to remind you that we only support version 1.9.0.32 of Skyrim. Update TES5Edit and Skyrim before you post in the forum.

Zilav's and Hlp's o ngoing contributions to the project are greatly appreciated. In the latest versi on of TES5Edit Zilav has introduced the Asset Browser and Asset Manager. While w e appreciate feedback and enhancement ideas please be understanding that these t wo new additions are in their early stages. Your patience is appreciated while t hey are updated and refined to provide more useful and accurate functionality. The Asset Manager function will check for the presence of meshes, textures, pex Currently cleaning a plugin involves indexing over a million references at times . Comparing the contents and ruling out unneed ed files will take practice but in the end will help ensure your mod has all the needed and updated resources for your mod. it's not really required unless we make some major update in the cleaning process. mal functions with the plugin. Cleaning Plugins and official DLC: I am still seeing many posts where people state that they have cleaned multiple plugins at the same time. and CTDs. The function only copies loose files and does not make a BSA file at this time. I understand that the cleaning process seems tedious a nd it would be nice to fire off the program to clean 200 plugins while you go do something else. Without human intervention too man y issues during the cleaning process would go unnoticed and make troubleshooting game issues related to plugins even more difficult then it already is. The Asset Manager also allows you to copy all the files used by the mod to a new folder for archiving and uploading to the Nexus. The other causes for crashes are corrupt plugi ns. Being there to see what errors might be reported during the cleaning process ensure th at you are aware of potential issues that can lead to instability while playing Skyrim. They show both loading the plugins y ou know are required or show only loading the one plugin and letting TES5Edit lo ad any other dependencies. Cleaning Plugins and official DLC when a new version of TES5Edit is released: It is not always necessary to clean all your plugins every time a new version of TES5Edit is released. If you really want to clean some of th plugins then I suggest only cleaning the official Bethesda ESM files. When using this feature I suggest using a program like Beyo ndCompare to compare your the destination folder where TES5Edit put the files an d the original folder for your mod. Using TES5Edit in place of the CK: . When doing so please b e extremely considerate because in the early stage of the Asset Managers develop ment it sometimes reports erroneous errors. Unfortunately there are still no plans on adding an automated w ay to clean multiple plugins or access to TES5Edit from the command line. After applying the filter for cleaning. What can lead to crashes are deleted references which is resolved part of the cleaning process when you choose "Undelete and Disable References". clean only th e one plugin. poorly written and managed scripts. meshes and textures that can lead to undetected issues. It is still important to remove "Identical to Master" records for a more stable game but not as vital to eliminating crashes. This should change with future updat es. It is imperative that the process is repeated for each individual separate plugin that you wish to clean. More often then not an ITM does not cause Skyrim to crash . Please look at the Clea ning Tutorial or watch the cleaning videos. Cleaning multiple plugins at once can and will lead to erroneous cleaning and ca n in many cases lead to unwanted crashes to the desktop. If Skyrim is working for you leave things the way they are. If un necessary plugins are involved those become part of the index and could cause th e plugin to lose important and required data. You will quickly discover that it copies many files that are already included with Skyrim's own DLC inside the official BSA files. and missing files required by the plugin . When files are miss ing such as scripts.scripts. and will search BSA files as well. seq files (if needed). However. You may come across missing files and when that happens you should contact the author of the plugin. This will hel p end users check to see if all required assets are present. When only the required plugins are loaded then the cleaning is accurate. If issues persist contact mod makers. We work hard to make TES5Edit as accurate a s possible but development is directly related to the plugins themselves. As noted by FlaFlada a while back who posted (sl ightly revised) on my YouTube channel: The main points if having issues are 1. what give s. rebuild B ash Patch. I know many of you look to the TES5Edit development team for guidance but we are not modders. Leveled list issues. create patches with TES5Edit. Le t BOSS sort your mods.txt. BOSS sort mods. Detecting issues with plugins is very difficult and is unique depending on the other plugins in your load order.As TES5Edit becomes more widely used in the Skyrim community it has become a con cern that many people still want to use the utility in place of the Construction Kit. "Here is my load order. Make a bashed patch using Wrye Bash. my game crashes. "my game crashes. and cre ating compatibility patches for Skyrim overhauls please create your own separate thread. Although I have directed people to the Skyrim mod troubleshooting forum in the past it is also not the place to post. TES5Ed it can not replicate all the changes that the CK will make. clean mods. activate plugins. Contacting the mod authors is probably the last thing you should do after encoun tering an issue. Clean all mods except Skyrim. As authors o f TES5Edit we understand that there may be a lot of information to absorb for ne . Please understand that we don't directly support the use of TES5Edit when it is used outside the scope of its design which is conflict resolution. We rarely use the Construction Kit unless we need to test the data in the records of the plugins. Although some errors from the Construction Kit are er roneous and can be ignored some should defiantly not be ignored. Get used to rea ding the files and looking for problems with mods. We won't be adding those types of things to TES5Ed it. please hel p!" Again you need to do some troubleshooting on your own and provide specific i nformation when asking for help. When you exp erience crashes you should be disabling and reactivating plugins until the game no longer crashes. Many people still forget to look for log files from TES5Edit or load the plugins into the the Construction Kit and look at EditorWarnings. Some mods cannot be successfully merged wi th it and you should direct all questions relating to the script to the author. There is a thread available where people have posted which plugins merge success fully or unsuccessfully. It is still rather common for people to simply post. Merely checking or unchecking certain things for an NPC will alter the attack data dramatically. Improper mod placement. Otherwise if you intend on editing masses of entries. drag bashed patch BELOW additional user created patches. The solutions are 1. delete duplicate records in any user created patches already handled by Wrye Bash. Then report your issue to the author of the plugin. Nobody wants to start their game over due to constant crashes to desktop. Unfortunately it's the first thing most people do." That is still completely useless in troubleshooting your issue. D irty mods. Attack Data is the b est example. 3. And in this order : Update mods. Paying attention to lo g files will help you understand the cause of the issue and sometimes lead to a quick and easy resolution.
