Weird aqtif script files?

[Ryoichui]

HI! I just got a new computer and have been getting skyrim set up with mods. I took a look in the data/script files because i was having issues with racemenu and was advised to delete some files in there and reinstall it. but while i was poking around I noticed several (talking almost 100 files) labeled "aqtif_xxxxxx" with the x's being form ID's. I'm just wondering if anyone knows what these are, why there are so many of them and if they're causing any issues.. here's my load order.

TIF indicates that those are scripts used by Topic Info Fragments, that means a mod with dialogue. AQ should be a mod prefix but the lack of a "_" between the two indicates otherwise. I suspect a mod author renamed their TIF scripts to have a self added prefix.

 

The scripts are necessary for the dialog in their associated plugin to function properly. As far as causing issues... no idea.

thank you! that helped me figure out it was ambriel the lost princess. still wondering if having so many scripts (like i said it's well over 50) is making my game unstable. i'm going to uninstall it for now.
