A simple tip to help with mod development

I've noticed in a number of threads there's a recurring issue with people having trouble doing lookups of items.

So say you need to find your prewar toaster model. Well what you can do is go to a game where you're in the pre-war house, open up the console and click on the item. Be sure you get the item itself and not some fog/haze between you and the object. This happens a lot. One way you can be sure is to type enable then disable and if it vanishes instantly, you got the right ref.

Okay, then write down that ref number. Then search for that ref number in fallout 4 edit. You'll find a reference. Now maybe that reference alone has the data you need. BUT from there if you hold down ctrl and click on the base it will take you to that baseID. From there you can find more information. Things like model bases can lead you to where the item meshes and textures are stored
