bazinga313 Posted February 28, 2017 Share Posted February 28, 2017 Pretty sure I'm doing something wrong. I'm trying to edit a mod that for some reason has dlc dependencies but doesn't actually use DLC resources according to the author. So I want to remove the dependencies. So i open FO4edit and click on the mod esp and he fallout.esm. then run it so i can delete the masters of the mod. well because the mod has dependencies the mod doesn't show up on the left side, so how am i suppose to edit it if the mod is not showing up. It says [00:08] Background Loader: Fatal: <Exception: "Abduction.esp" requires master "DLCRobot.esm" to be loaded before it.> so how am I suppose to edit the mod? Basically there is nothing on the left side where it would normally show the mods files. Instead it just shows the fallout.esm and that's it. what am I doing wrong?

chucksteel Posted February 28, 2017 Share Posted February 28, 2017 xEdit will not load a mod if you don't have the required files so you can try a couple of things. create a new plugin with the Ckit, call it, DLCRobot.esp Use xEdit to then convert the .esp to an .esm This will trick xEdit into loading the mod with the master you don't have so you could then remove it with xEdit. Or, Open the Ckit and select the mod Delete DLCRobot.esm from the master list on the right side. set the mod as active and load the mod into the Ckit. If the mod does use anything from DLCRobot.esm you'll get some messages about errors and their removal. Once loaded in the Ckit then save the mod and the requirement will be fully removed. Hope that helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope that helps. thank you very much for the info. I will be trying this shortly. I am very fresh in the modding scene and I want to learn more so I can soon make my own mods.

bazinga313 Posted March 2, 2017 Author Share Posted March 2, 2017 Ok so I was in the creation kit and when in the screen to load the mod on the right side it says Parent Masters and it shows the Fallout.esm and two uknown.esm. So I'm assuming those are the two dlc that it says it requires. Is there another way to delete the esm? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chucksteel Posted March 2, 2017 Share Posted March 2, 2017 If you don't have the DLC then it will say Unknown. If you delete them from the list they will be removed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bazinga313 Posted March 3, 2017 Author Share Posted March 3, 2017 If you don't have the DLC then it will say Unknown. If you delete them from the list they will be removed. It would actually not let me delete the unknown.esm from the right side of that screen. it won't let me do anything to the .esm on that side. I can click on them, but will not let me delete them in anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
legobrick100 Posted March 5, 2017 Share Posted March 5, 2017 It shouldn't matter too much if it has masters. So long as nothing in the mod relies on those masters, nothing will be affected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can click on them, but will not let me delete them in anyway. I remeber I had the same problem because the way you delete them in the CK is not intuituve at all. You need to select any esm and press ctrl+delete on keyboard, then save and reload it. I don`t know if "unknown" esm can cause any bugs , but I have deleted dlc masters this way.

chucksteel Posted March 6, 2017 Share Posted March 6, 2017 You are correct I did forget to say Ctrl + Delete. Sorry about that. The Unknown shouldn't be an issue it should still remove anything that was added by them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RAZORWIRE666 Posted May 9, 2018 Share Posted May 9, 2018 (edited) i know this is a dead thread but i have run into this issue my self but for some reason i can not fully delete the masters from the mod on the right side it after they have been deleted they do not show up on the right side any more however the kit still loads them up like they are in the list Edited May 9, 2018 by RAZORWIRE666 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
