HELP: How can I duplicate a POI?

[platinum94]

HI, I am trying duplicate existing POIs and make edits to them and then add them to the POI pool. However when I duplicate a POI, save the esp and then load the esp I get red warnings for the esp as seen below. Has any one been able to successfully duplicate a POI and if so do you mind explaining how you did it?

I just updated the original post and removed the missing image. Does anyone have any insight on this?

Are you using xedit? Or the CK?? ESP files aren't supported in Starfield. Various flavors of ESM instead. (or was that just a typo?)

The game will load ESP files (or how else would you test them?).  It's just, from what we understand, they don't mix well with the load order mechanics and should only be used for testing, then finalized into one of the ESM versions.

Hey I'm using CK and I'm using an ESP during testing.

Yeah I'm using it for testing

If esp files don't play well with load order..... why even use them at all? Why not save it as a 'middle' esm, or whatever, and avoid any potential problems there???
