[GUIDE] Manual Cleaning Skyrim Master Files

Recommended Posts

First post updated : Recently Skyrim SE has been updated a few times, and additionally xEdit has now gone public with a release on Nexus of version 3.2.1, which has refined its record editing.


Skyrim LE results are unaffected when using the new xEdit, so no need to reclean for oldrim


Skyrim SE benefits quite a bit from recleaning, and the results / CRCs/ MD5 checksums are all now up to date in the OP for using xEdit v3.2.1

Hi. First of all, thanks for the guide.

I'm having a weird issue, though.

 

Inspired by NORDIC SKYRIM guide, I uninstalled my SKSE (via the .exe, and then manually deleted what was left on Bethesda/Skyrim folder).
After installing it again and running it for the first time, I tried your guide to clean the master files but the plugins list to the left was empty, as in this screenshot.

 

After taking this screenshot I saw I had all the previous mods installedm but even after uninstalling and deleting them to go for a fresh new modding with NORDIC SKYRIM I see the same screen.

 

Any ideas? Can something be done? :huh:

Thanks in advance!

EDIT: My SKSE is not the steam version, I managed to make it work running the SkyrimLauncher.exe instead of the Skyrim.exe.
Hope this helps anyone with the same issue.

I have now simplified this topics first post so it does not need updating every time xEdit has an overhaul, or Bethesda pump out new masters to accommodate even more Creation Club mods compatibility, and make even more dirty edits to the original masters ..


I have dropped listing results and CRCs, and just describe the method. If I were to change results to the development version of xEdit, then people using just the official will be complaining the results are wrong, and if I direct people to use development version instead .. how long before it goes official? and I have to redirect people again?. People still get it wrong sometimes even when they think they have the same version of xEdit (official or beta), and my list of pre-checked results to help .. And then there is the odd pirate with wacky results .. So its probably best left to the capability of the user to follow instructions to the letter, at least if they dont catch everything they will be cleaning out the majority of ITMs and UDRs, and this game is old enough now to have a mature enough community who are mostly well versed in such things. I think this topic and the duplicates elsewhere have done the job.


Will update other guide pages on other sites aswell.




Main reason for the change though is I am not very active with Bethesda modding anymore, and have no interest apart from a veeeery long awaited long term playthrough which I have a set bunch of mods for which is not going to change at all now. I have broken my previous barrier of level 45 in game (previously whenever I got there for one reason or another I would end up restarting a new game), and I am discovering things in game still which I have never seen before because I have not followed all potential quests (the amount of times I have walked past Pinewatch and never realised there was more to that place than meets the eye) .. Its a quest of completing everything I haven't done before :) .. But thats only when I am not playing No Mans Sky, which kind of takes up most of my spare time now. X4 is out in November too, no doubt that will be another huge time sink for me.

The menus in Tes5edit have changed- and I am not sure how to go about the manual cleaning of dawngaurd, because the 'remove' button is no longer in the menu when you right-click on the RiftenRatwayZone cell. I do have a 'remove' button if I right-click on it in the left side window, but not the right. Anybody know how I go about doing this? Thanks in advance.

If using the "-quickautoclean" option with SSEEdit (See: https://tes5edit.github.io/docs/5-mod-cleaning-and-error-checking.html#s_5-3-2), don't close it when you cleaned Dawnguard. Instead, after it's finished applying the filters (the different records in the window should have the same colors as in the thread) follow the steps as they are listed in the thread. Makes sure to save the file (CTRL+S) when done.

NOTE : This guide is now out of date - I dont have any Bethesda games installed anymore, and xEdit has changed greatly since I last had it installed.


Anyone wishes to re-do this guide on a new page bringing it up to date .. Crack on :D

First post has also been updated with the same message
