SilverDragon437 Posted January 29 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xkkmEl Posted January 29 Share Posted January 29 In LE, makes no difference whatsoever. Only the ESM flag matters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
