[LE] Modding Interface BSA

[kandaffar]

I'm trying to edit the crafting menu names for Bonemold, Chitin, Nordic and Stalhrim, which unlike the other categories are located in the english_transalation.txt folder inside the Interface.bsa rather than in the Settings of the CK. I unpacked the bsa file and made the changes to the text file. If I leave the files loose, the changes show up correctly in the game, but the "Mod Manager" option on the main menu changes to "$Mod Manager" as do all of the menu options inside it. If I repack the changed files with the Bethesda Archiver the Mod Manager returns to normal, but the game doesn't display my changes to the original Bonemold, etc... names.

 

I unpacked by repacked bsa and my changes were still present in the text file, they just don't show up in the game if they aren't loose files. Living with the $ on Mod Manager wouldn't be so bad, but I'd prefer to not have it and and I'm worried it might not be the only thing getting messed up. Can anyone help with this problem?

I've now also tried packaging my changes into a bsa attached to an esp. Same result, if I load the esp and bsa, it places a $ in front of the mod manager menu but implements the desired change, if I don't load it, no change and mod manager menu doesn't have a $.

 

Anyone have an idea?

What mod manager menu are you referring to?

 

SkyUI's MCM menu entry (cause original Skyrim has no 'mod manager' menu entry')

 

or

 

Skyrim Special Edition's mod manager menu entry

Skyrim Special Edition's

 

Ah, I see your point - I didn't realize there was a separate forum for SE. I'll repost there.
