DLC's form IDs, CK and MODs. I don't understand it completely.

I read about how it is formed. But I'm worried if there will be problems with this if I reinstall the game or someone else uses my mod on his game. For example, I created records (leveled lists) for Handmade Rifle from Nuka World DLC. In the CK I can see it has 04033b60. And my custom LL has an identifier 089F5A11, with reference to 04033b60. What if someone has this record (Handmade Rifle) with a different identifier, starting not with 04?

Of course, the player will have installed all the addons that were used to create my mod (Nuka-World, Far Harbor, Automatron and three Workshops).

 

Did I understand correctly, that if the user does not have all the DLCs, that were used to create the mod, then my mod will not work. And if the DLCs are installed, the identifiers will be the same?

The identifier is chosen depending on the position of your load order. This identifier "doesnt matter". When you start a game with mod X and then save your game and rearrange your load order it will be different, but it will still work.

 

If a mod has a higher identifier and edits the same record. you have 04 and an other mod has 05. 05 will win the conflict and overwrite 04.

 

Custom objects from a mod are linked in the game to the esp. Load order doesnt matter. But if you change the name of the ESP the link in the save game is lost and the game things your renamed mod is a completely new mod.

This is correct.

Ditto what Zzyxzz said. I wrote a Papyrus library that deals with injection into form lists, leveled items, and naming records. Sometimes, these are accessed remotely by using the name of the plugin required and the ID of the relevant record in that plugin. The plugin's position in the load order doesn't matter because the plugin and the rest of the ID are what really identify the record.

I'm glad that there will be no problems with this. Otherwise, the moders would have a lot of problems, I guess.

Now I experienced this on myself. I reinstalled the game and the IDs has changed. It seems that the only problem now is changing the second digit when I call some items through the console. But at first I was scared :unsure:
