Compacted form ids for a mod, got an add on for that mod, wanna connect both?

[wrathofterra]

Wanting to preserve my esp slots I got FO4Edit to flag esps as esls. Sometimes this requires compacting form ids but there is no helping it. To give you an idea I have 561 esls. So. Yeah.

 

The problem appears when there is a patch or add-on to a mod that I previously compacted form ids for.

 

Now I'm not the best when it comes to the CK or FO4Edit.

 

However I can follow instructions and would like to be able to just edit the add-on in FO4Edit, or CK, to have both.

 

And no. I don't compact for mods that others depend on, or mods that have new interior cells...etc. This is mostly for simple stuff like a weapon mod. Then another mod to add modifications for that weapon. Not for huge mods.

 

So. How can I do that? A video tutorial would be appreciated but written words are fine.

Load both plugins into xedit and then compact.

It'll update both.

That's great.Thanks.

Any other way to do it? Like if I already compacted the esl for one plugin and don't want to download it again.

Would be good to know. But that already helps
