sepheroth479 Posted October 8, 2011 Share Posted October 8, 2011 I got a pretty decent collection of atmospheric altering mods/ immersion. However Im about to add alll natural weather. I've installed 2 mods using wyre bash and have tried reading the official wiki for using wyre bash. The topics that confuse me are Bash Tags and Cleaning Dirty edits. Im not a tard so if someone could explain to me the basics and not in the way the guy who was jacked up on crack at the time wrote it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shinobi2008 Posted October 8, 2011 Share Posted October 8, 2011 (edited) Okay that's easy. Make sure you install BOSS into your data directory first. Use BOSS to rearrange the order. Notice that there are some comments regarding the mods you have loaded. Now start your Wrye Bash. Go to the mod tab and look for the mods that are commented on the BOSS log. On the bottom right hand side of Wrye Bash window, there's another section where the tags go. Right click on it and it will show lists of tags you can choose. Tag the mods according to the log and you're good. Don't worry about the mods without the tags, they don't need it. Rebuild your bash patch and turn on the features according to the changes you made by adding the tags. This part is optional though so experiment. Now start the TES4Edit. Let it load all the mods you have. When it says the background loader is finished, right click on the main panel on the left hand side of TES4Edit and choose apply filters. A new window should pop up. Unclick every option that is turn on except the one that says identical to master. Click okay after that. It will load again so just wait for few mins depending on your computer etc etc. Now right click on the mods you want to clean according to the log. Choose remove identical to master and yes to confirm it. It will show you the results on the right side. Now go back to the mod if it says something about removing the records. Right click and choose the one right above the remove identical to master (can't remember on top of my head lol) and let the software do its thing. Pay attention to the BOSS log and do exactly what it says meaning some mods are meant to have dirty edits on purpose. Do not clean those otherwise the mods will not function. :yes: That's about it. Save when asked and make sure your bash patch and all the mods are activated. :wallbash: Launch the game and enjoy. If you got questions, hopefully someone can explain better than I. :laugh: Good luck!! :thumbsup: :whistling: Edited October 8, 2011 by shinobi2008 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Balakirev Posted October 8, 2011 Share Posted October 8, 2011 If you're happy with your current mod order, you may not want BOSS changing it. While it's very good, there's more than one way to order things correctly to suit our needs. Assuming that's the case, right-click on the bar above your mods under the Mods tab in Wrye Bash, and click Lock Times. That'll prevent BOSS from rearranging your mods, while still generating the textfile log of suggested changes and all bash tags. Tag the mods according to the log and you're good. Don't worry about the mods without the tags, they don't need it. This isn't quite true. BOSS is an excellent tool, but there are still quite a number of mods that haven't been entered into its database, as well as mods that change with new versions, and new tags. I used it about 6 weeks ago, and had 20+ mods that BOSS didn't know about. Some of these may in fact need bash tags. It's laborious, but the only real way to figure out the tags necessary is to hunt down the Nexus (or other site) page for each mod like this, and if the info isn't there, ask.

Oops forgot about that lock times feature lol my bad. As for missing tags that you have to hunt down, I didn't think about that so thank you for correcting me there. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
