To clean or not to clean mods?

[SamiZayn]

According to some of my researches, some said it is better to clean mods by removing itm records and udr records from the mods. But will removing the itm and udr records disrupt the mods, or will by any chances, remove certain items or causes crashes? It is better to clean mods or just left them to be dirty?Cleaning mods will cause game to be more stable or more problems?And If I'm to clean them, can all mods be clean?

Depends on the mods chosen. Some yes, some no.

IT is a performance issue and not a stabilization issue.

Fose built verses default data. tesedit can't read Fose scripts. so avoid cleaning those.

I cleaned a mod once and my game crashed. It continued to crash until I removed the "cleaned" mod and reinstalled the original "dirty" mod.

 

So, don't clean mods unless you have a back-up.
