What does it mean to "Replace esp" and how do I do it?

[Draconzis]

I need to replace the Heavy Amory esp with the CCOR version. What does this mean and how do I do it?

*.esp files are Elder Scroll Plugin files which are found in the DATA folder and are used for Skyrim mods.

 

Copy the CCOR version of the HeavyArmour.esp mod (or whatever it's called) and paste it into the Skyrim DATA folder and it will replace the original.

 

As long as there are no other files associated with either mod, such as *.bsa or loose texture and mesh files, scripts etc, that's it.

 

Done.

 

I always keep a backup version of all the mods I use in separate folders. You might want to keep a copy of the original mod esp safe in case you want to revert later. Saves on the download cost.

.esp is the file extension for a Skyrim mod. The Heavy Armor.esp is a mod you have installing to your Skyrim. You are being told that version of the mod is not the right one.

You need the CCOR version of the mod. Simply download the correct version ( CCOR ) and over-wight the other version.
