LE Quest don't work as ESM?

[saintgrimm92]

I've made a rather large mod, it also has a rather extensive quest.

 

I want to make future add-ons for the mod, not just simple updates, but other quests that will require that mod. So I intended to make it into an ESM so that I could continue releasing content that takes place in the world spaces of the mod. However, I ran into an issue.

 

I tried converting the ESP file into an ESM using both TESVSnip and Wyre Bash. Neither of the ESMs work right.

 

There are multiple quests, similar to the skyrim main quest. The second quest starts where the first quest ends. I know the build up is correct, I've tested it many times and it still works when using the ESP fil, but when I use only the ESM file, the 2nd quest will not start (but the first one does).

 

Anyone know how to fix this?

 

EDIT: Both quest 1 and 2 are started with activator triggers. and an on triggerenter script.

Why not just leave it as an ESP?

 

You can follow these instructions to make your add-on plugins dependent

There is also a way to do it with TES5Edit but I'm not sure of the steps and I'm not comfortable recommending it.

I didn't realize I could make other ESP files dependent to an ESP. Only reason I wanted to make it ESM was I thought that was the only way to use it's assets without copying them to a new ESP lol.
