uijk718293 Posted January 3, 2019 Share Posted January 3, 2019 (edited) Will cleaning mods (Not official DLCs) with FNVedit will break them? I've found out that many mods are containing dirty edits but I didn't clean them yet. I've heard cleaning mods in FNV can cause game breaking bugs, Is that true?

dubiousintent Posted January 3, 2019 Share Posted January 3, 2019 Despite that recommendation for other (earlier) games where authors didn't know about the editor's tendency to throw those into mods, it is not recommended for FNV mods where the issue is more well known. Many so-called "dirty edits" are deliberate to overcome vanilla game bugs. Only the mod author knows for sure. The recommended solution is to report them to the author/"current maintainer" to resolve. If you did clean the mod, how would you know things are then working correctly? Otherwise either learn how and why the mod works that way, or chose another alternative. -Dubious- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dubiousintent Posted January 3, 2019 Share Posted January 3, 2019 No problem. It's a common concern; and if you don't ask, how will you learn? -Dubious- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
