HomicidalGrouse Posted November 1, 2016 Share Posted November 1, 2016 If I place items in the world or in various dungeons, are those considered cell edits? And if so, what happens when they conflict with other mods? I saw a comment thread for a mod that was discussing compatibility with another mod. They both placed items in a specific location. One of them placed a corpse, and the other placed a weapon on a table. According to those in the comment thread, these two mods didn't conflict with each other and both items spawned correctly. Is this how it works? I was always under the impression that a compatibility patch would be needed for mods that add items to specific locations like that...

damanding Posted November 1, 2016 Share Posted November 1, 2016 I believe they only conflict when the same items are touched. For example if both mods tried to move the same table. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EveningTide Posted November 1, 2016 Share Posted November 1, 2016 Correct. Mods can edit anything and add anything they want to the same cells, as long as they don't edit the same objects. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HomicidalGrouse Posted November 1, 2016 Author Share Posted November 1, 2016 Correct. Mods can edit anything and add anything they want to the same cells, as long as they don't edit the same objects. So if I wanted to go around placing some custom weapons in dungeons, there shouldn't be any issues... as long as another mod isn't placing things in the exact same spot? Awesome. Thanks guys!

EveningTide Posted November 1, 2016 Share Posted November 1, 2016 Yeah, exactly. And if that ends up happening one or the other modder would have to make a patch which is basically them moving the thing elsewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HomicidalGrouse Posted November 2, 2016 Author Share Posted November 2, 2016 Well, to be fair, my mod is only going to be placing a small object in whichever cells I decide to place it in. So I'll probably be updating my mod to try to move my items if anyone reports any issues. That is, assuming anyone even wants my mod. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
