hielkeskyrim Posted June 7, 2018 Share Posted June 7, 2018 Loot has detected a Wild Edit in Dawnguard DLC. How do I get rid of it? I know how to clean all other issues, but this is a new one for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hielkeskyrim Posted June 10, 2018 Author Share Posted June 10, 2018 Yes, Dawnguard has been cleaned properly via the manual guide. I still wonder how these wild edits were made tho, since they were not there before.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vashra1 Posted June 10, 2018 Share Posted June 10, 2018 (edited) I dunno what you mean by "weren't there before."I suppose it's possible that LOOT didn't catch them or that xEdit didn't catch them at some point? I know both of those apps have had updates to their functioning over time.AFAIK Skyrim has *always* had crap in Dawnguard.esm that needed to be removed that the autoclean scripts of xEdit don't pull. They were left in there by Bethesda developers who apparently needed more coffee or something. If you steam-verify your game files and get the four "original" update/dlc esm files again, you'll find all those wild edits are back. They're just a part of the crappy "I can't bloody believe you let this go to production with this much rubbish that should have been fixed" Bethesda way of doing things. Even *after* you remove all the trash there are still a few test cells and such that don't *really* need to be in the game...at all, though CK 2.0 has taken up using a couple of them for tutorials *sigh*.In fact, I keep a stash of the four properly cleaned files in an archive separate from my game files, so I can quickly plop them back into my data folder every time I do something so egregiously stupid that I have to just burn down my install and start over to make SkyrimSE work again.
