TransnerferN7 Posted February 24, 2015 Posted February 24, 2015 (edited) So I thought I'd give cleaning my masters a try, and after following gophers instructions and then using LOOT, it didnt work. LOOT still said that they were 'dirty'. I had a panic attack (for no reason) and uninstalled the game. Would this remove any changes made by TES5edit? Was that neccessary? I didnt edit skyrim.esm, but im still paranoid that even when i re-download skyrim itll be messed up in some way. Help! Edited February 24, 2015 by TransnerferN7
DoctorSamanth Posted February 24, 2015 Posted February 24, 2015 if you ununstalled Skyrim. go to where it had been installed Program Files (x86) > Steam > SteamApps > common > Skyrim and delete the Skyrim folder. then reinstall the game and whatever mods you want. you should be fine
Pyrly Posted February 24, 2015 Posted February 24, 2015 (edited) In my experience with TES5Edit and LOOT TES5 cleaning DOES WORK. But LOOT might still say it's dirty because of how the mod is made. TES5 only cleans what it "knows" to be safe, it will still leave some "dirty" records around if they might be important.EDIT: This is in no way exactly how TES5Edit works, this is my interpretation, if you have any questions on exactly how it works ask the dev!Your game would've most likely been fine - uninstalling was a huge overreaction.If you removed Skyrim (To be sure it's fully removed delete it's folder if it still exists in C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps\Common) and reinstall it, it will be completely vanilla.The changes you would've made would be to your installed files, not the Steam files, which are untouchable by anyone except Skyrim devs and Valve themselves.
