SSE LOOT angry at my ESL?

[dafydd99]

Hi all,

 

I've added a small 'fishing' patch to my mod ( https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/38420 ). It seems to work fine (though it's my first ESL).

 

However some users have noted LOOT complains quite concerningly that... "Error: This plugin contains records that have FormIDs outside the valid range for an ESL plugin. Using this plugin will cause irreversible damage to your game saves."

 

The plugin doesn't contain any formids beyond FExxx800-FExxx998, except for overrides, however it does have a few missing.

 

So what is LOOT complaining about? Am I misunderstanding something about ESLs? I've tried compressing the FormIds using SSEEdit but that doesn't seem to make a difference.

 

Thanks for any info,

 

Cheers - dafydd99

Okay - I think the problem here might be due to compressing the IDs. I used the CK to compress and that seems to have stopped the error message. It appears Loot is not giving a helpful message here, as it's complaining about something that isn't the case, and its conclusion is almost certainly incorrect. All it's detecting is missing (unused) FormIds.
