Deleted21550714User Posted February 25, 2018 Posted February 25, 2018 My question is...... can deleting objects through console cause problems? does it carry the same concern that deleting objects in ck without further tes5edit cleaning causes?

As a rule, I will only delete via console non essential items: Desks, Trees, Rocks, a car or two. But I limit them to items that I know have zero real cause/effect in the game and are items that are " small " in the game world, as mentioned above.
Deleted21550714User Posted February 25, 2018 Author Posted February 25, 2018 would you say there is a difference between consule deleting, and deleting something in CK and then not having it go through tes5 for cleaning? basically should i think console deleting will not have the same negative effect that can occur from un cleaned mods?
Evangela Posted February 25, 2018 Posted February 25, 2018 If you console delete an item, I'm assuming TES5edit can't bring it back, unless it can search through save files. When you delete an object in the CK, the information is saved to the plugin, and can be undeleted in TES5Edit.
heyiforgot Posted February 25, 2018 Posted February 25, 2018 I stick to deleting basically "inanimate" objects, rocks, trees, sometimes buildings. I also "disable" them first and wait a bit before i enter markfordelete just to see if anything strange might happen

The first thing I learned in the Skyrim modding school on TESA was about not deleting an object, instead hiding an object is fine, because hiding an object via the console does NOT delete an ID which is required for other mods to work properly.
Deleted21550714User Posted February 25, 2018 Author Posted February 25, 2018 @leonardo2 you have provoked my curiosity, how does one hide an object via console command?
cdcooley Posted February 26, 2018 Posted February 26, 2018 Disable is preferred to deleting because it can't cause crashes. Some items have an enable state parent and can't be disable individually. If I want those items gone I generally just change their z position value by about -99999 which gets them far enough below me to be virtually gone. If the object itself was dynamically created (has form id starting with FF) and you are sure there's no mod trying to access it (typing SV on it is a good way to see if it's currently in a alias but can't show you everything) then markfordelete should be safe. I generally reserve that for items I spawned in the console with placeatme and those ashpiles that sometimes get left behind long after the game should have removed them on its own.
