It's a simple matter of drag and dropping conflicts. With this type of mods, you've got nothing to fear, red. Now, how do I reconcile this? Well, in TES5Edit, I have to pick one of the ESP's and have it carry forward all the desired changes:ī <-something edited in this field for the NPC, changes from Mod #2ĭ <-something edited in this field for the NPC, changes from Mod #1 This is commendable.īut then, trouble arises, I want to install another mod that edits the same NPC, albeit in a different way:ī <-something edited in this field for the NPC, rest of record unchanged The modder may even go above and beyond and forward all the Unofficial Patch changes (if any) to that NPC as well. So, the modder will take the official record and correctly/only makes the changes he/she wants while leaving the vanilla game record otherwise intact, this effectively means they are 'forwared' or perpetuated into the new mod.ĭ <-something edited in this field for the NPC, rest of record unchangedĪll is well.

See, the problem arises when a modder wants to change something superficial about an NPC in the vanilla game. I wanted Immersive College of Winterhold's AI Package upgrades and routines, but I wanted CrimsonFairy's facegen edits: Now, here's a record conflict that I had to edit to get the appearance changes in-line with ICW AI changes.

Since they are just textures and meshes, no big deal, I just have the Hoax version get priority placement. I don't use the particular Sky Haven Temple Merchants & More FULL ESP that modifies Delphine's stats/traits, but the base mod includes some simple facegen appearance related changes. Here's a simple conflict, I just chose which file I wanted to make the face changes: MO doesn't peek into the ESP file tables and see if a particular ESP is modifying the same in-game character, you need TES5Edit to do that for you. Facegen related files generally show up in the conflicts tab, but the records edits aren't going to show up there. Correct me if I'm wrong, but won't in MO show me when mods are overwriting each and the conflicts tab will allow me to select which mod wins?
