SpaceCoder Posted July 3, 2015 Share Posted July 3, 2015 i thought this would be a good place to come. i can not figure out how to make a esp file a master for another plugin that i am trying to create. the reason i want to do this is because i have an armor mod that i like and i want to add it to a follower but whenever i change the outfit and add the armor to it on the follower and then save my plugin the armor mod doesnt get saved as a master and i lose the outfit after i relaunch the CK. if you can help that would be great and sorry if this is poorly detailed i am new to creating mods and dont know any technical terms that would help you veterans better understand what i am trying to say.Space Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tlaffoon Posted July 3, 2015 Share Posted July 3, 2015 Just load the file you're wanting to be a master as you would the skyrim.esp and set the file you're wanting to modify it as active. And make sure you have your mods toggled in your load order on nmm or whatever mod organizer you're using. Maybe that's what you were wanting..i dunno Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry if I was unclear on what I wanted but I meant to say that I wanted to make the plugin a master so I can link it to my mod so the armor shows up in game on the follower Edited July 3, 2015 by SpaceCoder Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MotoSxorpio Posted July 3, 2015 Share Posted July 3, 2015 What creation tool are you most familiar with to make changes like this? Possible tools include Wrye Bash, TES5edit, Creation Kit... using TES5edit, just copy as override a single record from the plugin you want to be mastered to into a new plugin or an existing. Note that existing plugins should be accompanied by disclaimers of credits and permissions if necessary. CK...hell half the time I get messages about my socks not matching just so it doesn't have to do as I ask. [sarcasm] :D Good luck, hopefully you find an avenue for your modder-i-a-zation.(my word, I claim it) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MotoSxorpio Posted July 3, 2015 Share Posted July 3, 2015 Possibly. There's a mod for modding your mod like that on the nexus. Get TES5Edit. Get Mator's Edit scripts. http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/49373/? You can do much. Just need to read what and how. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
