Trouble Editing and saving with TES

[roh81]

I am a complete newbie when it comes to modding. I have managed to do some small things. Replace the Khajiit race with the Tabaxi race mod for example. Just more pleasing to me. hate the Khajiit head... Oblong alian looking thing that it is... That's a cat?? Anyways. I have the same issue over and over. With mods I've made and others I I've downloaded but want to edit for personal use.

 

When I load an existing mod with TES I can go in and do most of what I want to do just fine. Having touched scripting yet because... It scares me.. Anyway the problem is after I've made the changes it wants me to save as a new .exp. Saying that what I want to save is either a master file or in use. Or some such. Anyone know what, probably very simple, mistake I am making?

 

Thanks in advance.

Sorry, I figured out my own mistake. I think. This time it seemed I needed to load a few mods that were depended on for hair and eye addons for it to save properly. Could have sworn the others had no dependent mods though. Oh well. Any input on this to make it more clear to me would be great.

Are you making the correct mod/esp you wish to make changes to active? You can't save anything if it's not. That's possibly why the CS is asking you to save a new esp.

 

Mod dependencies is a worry. If you have an esp that requires an ESM it will have dependencies.

Can you list the mods that seem to be dependent and what you're trying to do?
