Using FNVEdit to copy data into a different .esp

[TheSpiritOfNewReno]

I have a question about FNVEdit. I didn't see any kind of FNVEdit thread, so sorry if this is redundant. I'd like to know how to use FNVEdit to copy a certain entry from one esp and move it to another, without merging the two. Say, for example, one mod has a script, NPC preset, etc. that you think would come in handy with your own mod. So you want to use that item in your own mod. How exactly do you go about doing so? "Copy as override into"? Thanks for any response.

"Copy as new record into" is the one you want. Depending on the record type, it will still set the originating plugin as a master for the destination because of linked records. Find those records and copy them into the second plugin also, and manually change the form ID entry for the links to point to the records in the second plugin. You can then remove the first plugin as a master.

 

It sounds more complicated than it is to do in practice.

Thanks, that worked perfectly.
