csbx Posted May 22 Share Posted May 22 (edited) I'm just finishing up a mod that pairs nicely with the mod EBQO (even better quest objectives)--my mod touches many of the quest entries that it edits. I'm going to forward some of the edits that are pertinent to my mod (namely, slightly more descriptive objectives / journal entries). Permissions allow for this. My first question--I'm assuming it makes sense to also forward update.esm into my mod as well ? And I've left USSEP changes NOT forwarded, but rather have built a patch for it. Is this the right way to go about it for distribution ? I frankly wish I could just forward them into my mod and not think about it. But is that uncouth ? I'm assuming many don't use USSEP. Moreover, if there are USSEP edits that do NOT add USSEP as a dependency, should I just go ahead and forward them ? They seem to involve pretty serious fixes for quests. Note: this is my first time dealing with any of this in a mod I'm authoring, so I acknowledge I'm a big dummy and am open to your chiding / correction / elucidation. EDIT: I'm on v1.6.640 if it's relevant. Edited May 22 by csbx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dylbill Posted May 22 Share Posted May 22 You shouldn't need to forward if you include the update.esm as a master for your mod. I always include Skyrim.esm and Update.esm by default cause of this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I only had skyrim.esm as a master--I was open to having it work across multiple versions of the game. But considering the challenge (that I now see) of maintaining parallel versions, I think I'll have to just require the DLC, update. Update is master now.

dylbill Posted May 22 Share Posted May 22 No problem, yeah including Update.esm as a master just makes things easier. Forwarding from for instance the unofficial patch is sometimes necessary, but I don't like to include that as a master. Just a personal preference. Happy modding!
