SilverDragon437 Posted January 29 Posted January 29 Hey there. I have a question and am interested in what people might know about the subject. My question is about .esm mods. I am mostly concerned about the difference between 2 scenarios Scenario 1 - The file is an .esp file extension but with the esm flag ticked in xEdit Scenario 2 - The file has an .esm file extension and has the .esm flag ticked in xEdit My question about this is: Are these functionally the same? Is there an advantage of one over the other? I am already aware of the major differences when the .esm flag is ticked, mainly about persistent objects. But I am wondering if the .esm file extension makes a difference? Is there a difference in stability? The obvious choice seems to be to make the file a full .esm with .esm flag. But in my scenario, I would rather keep my .esp extension with .esm flag, as it would make things far less complicated. I appreciate any insight anyone has into this
Qvorvm Posted January 29 Posted January 29 In LE, makes no difference whatsoever. Only the ESM flag matters.
