Is it possible to identify which mod adds something using item ID?

[Omegacron]

I want to figure out which mod is adding an item to the game, but I have over 700 mods installed and have no idea which one's the culprit. I seem to recall from Skyrim that there was a way to identify which mod was adding an item based on its in-game item ID, but I can't remember exactly how to do it. Something like loading all mods in the Creation Kit and searching for the ID prefix, IIRC... but I wanted to get confirmation before I tried loading all 700 mods in the CK.

 

Does anyone know of the process I'm describing, or am I remembering completely wrong?

 

Or, if someone knows off the top of their head which mod adds it, I'm looking for the one that adds craftable blue Minutemen fatigues with rank insignia to the Armorsmith workbench. There's one for Private, Corporal, Sergeant, Staff Sergeant, etc. etc. It's not "We Are the Minutemen" or "Militarized Minutemen".

 

 

Note: Yes, it's a lot of mods. Yes, my game is fairly stable. No, I'm not looking for the item because of a mod issue - I'm looking for the mod because I want to make some custom textures for the outfit in question. The blue is a little too bright, so I wanted to make it a darker blue to match what's in "We Are the Minutemen".

"Better Console" an F4SE mod so it doesn't take up a slot.

 

While you're in the game, Open up the console and click on something, and it tells you the object ID and what ESP it's from and the Mod Name it's from

Open console

 

type search "naughty"

 

Let's say it display two item, one is Naughty Nightwear and another is Naughty Head Mask

 

You know NN is an original FNV item, and headmask is the item you need to check

 

Let's say it display ID as 1Axxxxxxx.

 

1A is the number of its mod in the mod list. You can find corresponding mod with that number in MO2.

This is the most reliable method.

 

If modders are unimaginative and set the name similar to vanilla asset... well you are sheets out of luck.

Second method. Let's say you have an item like a gun.

 

Drop that item into a container like a locker.

 

Open console. Click on that container. The name on top of the screen should show container name

 

type showinventory

 

it will list all items inside that container.

 

Then check the ID and the name of that item. Also better method compared to above.

 

-----------------

Another method is open Mod Organizer 2 and double click on a mod name. On the property window open, choose the filetree tab. That display content inside that mod. This is not very reliable because if you move load list around too much, it does change id number.
