ObsidianAge Posted September 27, 2010 Share Posted September 27, 2010 Hi there, I'm amazed with some of the brilliant mods for this game that members of The Nexus have created, and have downloaded so many great ones that I am finding it difficult to keep track of what mod adds what to the game. My question is fairly simple; is it O.K. to rename the .ESM and .ESP files containing the mods? My three main questions regarding this are: 1) Will renaming these files cause incompatability? Presumably not as the referenced data is still contained within.2) After the files are renamed, will they show their new name in FOMM and other loaders?3) Is it infringing on the rights of the mod creators in any way? If someone could just confirm that renaming is O.K, then it would be greatly appreciated :) Cheers,ObsidianAge Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ub3rman123 Posted September 27, 2010 Share Posted September 27, 2010 It's fine, but if the mod comes with a .bsa file, you might have problems with it not remembering where the thing is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tubal Posted September 27, 2010 Share Posted September 27, 2010 If the file is updated you'll have to rename it again, or Fallout will believe it's a new mod and remove items etc you have collected from it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quetzlsacatanango Posted September 27, 2010 Share Posted September 27, 2010 It's probably not a good idea to rename an esm that is required by an esp either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
