No mockery, no rants, no rage; just... how?

I want a step-by-step means to update the ASLAL for Nyhus, Haafstad and Folkstead to form 44.

Before anyone asks, they have multiple masters.

Chances are they work anyway, but I want Wrye to STFU.

Can you not just load them in the CK and resave?  I did that with a few old esps and it seemed to do the trick.

If a mod has multiple ESPs as masters, loading and saving the plugin with the Creation Kit will strip the plugin of the ESP masters.  One would need to use a patch mod that allows the CK to use ESPs as parent masters.  Or every ESP master would need to have its header toggled to indicate that it is an ESM and then the offending plugin could be re-saved to change the form type.  But then each ESP master that had its header toggled to ESM would need to be togged back.  Wrye Bash can be used to ESMify and ESPify as needed (okay, they changed terminology since I last used it -- Add ESM flag / Remove ESM flag).

The short way:  Use this 'mod' (READ THE STICKY POSTS), load the offending plugin and save it.

The long way:  Ensure that the offending plugin and its parent masters are active in your load order.  Open Wrye Bash, write a note of which parent masters of the offending plugin have the ESP extension and are not already flagged as ESM.  Right click on the offending plugin and choose the option (if available) "Add ESM flag to masters".  If not available, all masters already have an ESM flag.  Exit Wrye Bash (your load order will be screwed up as the now ESM flagged ESPs will move to the ESM section).  Open the Creation Kit, load the offending plugin and save it.  No need to make changes.  Re-open Wrye Bash, check the note made earlier about parent masters with ESP extensions that were not already flagged ESM, go one by one and right click on each and choose to "Remove ESM flag".  If none of the ESP parent masters were originally flagged ESM, then you may right click on the offending plugin and choose the option "Remove ESM flag from masters".  Exit Wrye Bash, open your mod manager of choice and correct your load order (i.e. ensure that the ESP parent masters are where they were prior to beginning this process).

Hope this is helpful.

Is that the mod you mean?  I would suggest the one I use: https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/71371; to be honest I'd forgotten that the esm thing was one of the benefits of it, my main reason for patching the CK in the beginning is because I run a potato:)
