csbx Posted August 30, 2016 Share Posted August 30, 2016 For reference, here the mod I'm referring to: http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/78022/? My mod currently has Update and Dragonborn as dependencies, but I'm not sure if both of these are in fact even necessary for it. Is there some way to see if I can remove these dependencies in the CK ? The only things I think may be relevant is that for my custom item, I add vampire and certain additional races (vampire, e.g.) as races that can wear it. Thanks !

PeterMartyr Posted August 30, 2016 Share Posted August 30, 2016 (edited) "Clean Masters" with TES5EditBe sure to make manual esp.BAK before attempting. right click <ModName>.espyou should seeADD MASTERSORT MASTERCLEAN MASTER For your master needs. Do not Click the The Header and randomly remove MastersYou might get ERRORS.If you manually remove a dependencies then open your Mod in CK then save.CK puts it back, yes found out the hard way, & It Fixed. So Clean Masters is way the go. Edited August 30, 2016 by PeterMartyr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeterMartyr Posted August 30, 2016 Share Posted August 30, 2016 Tested your Mod only Update got removed, no dirty edits , I would leave it.Most Mods have Update and don't need it. It harmless.Up to You? That way your Users don't need to re downloaded it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
csbx Posted August 30, 2016 Author Share Posted August 30, 2016 (edited) Thanks a lot, Peter--that worked very well. I appreciate the confirmation as well. Is there any kind of issue with moving to the new .esp without that dependency for future (optional) dot releases ? My assumption is that if it was never needed in the first place, dropping it shouldn't be a problem moving forward.

PeterMartyr Posted August 30, 2016 Share Posted August 30, 2016 No it will be fine, your mod doesn't alter any records in update.esm. I just thought that that alone wasn't major thing. But cleaning unnecessary masters in future Updates of your mod, can't be bad thing or harmful to your User Save since it doesn't any records in...... Gotta luv TES5edit it not replacement for Creation Kit but it so enhance it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
csbx Posted August 30, 2016 Author Share Posted August 30, 2016 TES5edit is for me like the epitome of a programmer's program: 999 extremely valuable functions with zero concern for aesthetic, user friendliness. It's probably better that way though given that a few wrong button presses and you've nuked your mod ! Cheers man ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NexusComa Posted August 31, 2016 Share Posted August 31, 2016 "Gotta luv TES5edit it not replacement for Creation Kit but it so enhance it. "To create any mod for Skyrim without TES5edit cleaning it as you go is madness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
