IfItsOnPCItsNotExclusive Posted March 21, 2019 Posted March 21, 2019 I have followed all the instructions from the internet but when I click on a mod the "apply filter for cleaning" doesn't appear. Is there something I'm doing wrong?
thumbincubation Posted March 21, 2019 Posted March 21, 2019 Which version of xedit are you using? I believe the 4... versions all have the quickautoclean option. Send the .exe to desktop as a shortcut, right-click on it and hit properties, and add -QuickAutoClean to the target block, after the .exe" with a space between the " and - It's a good idea to go to the General tab and change the name of the shortcut to something like xedit quick clean, so you can tell it apart from the regular .exe. From there, double click that icon, then choose which you want to clean, and it will do the rest for you. When you want to do other functions, use the regular .exe, instead of the quick auto clean .exe.
DarkRudra Posted March 22, 2019 Posted March 22, 2019 Yeah, you'll need to do that. ^ The most recent version of xEdit removed the "apply filter for cleaning" stuff entirely, I believe. Any guide that discusses that is now considered outdated. QuickAutoClean is the way to go now.
IfItsOnPCItsNotExclusive Posted March 22, 2019 Author Posted March 22, 2019 I figured it out.....took me long enough but I know what to do now
Dmaknero Posted June 19, 2019 Posted June 19, 2019 I made tes5edit a shortcut hit properties but dont see where to click auto clean. Why did they make this so complicated wgen it was much easier before
thumbincubation Posted June 19, 2019 Posted June 19, 2019 Well, it's a bit complicated to set up now, but thereafter it's a quick, easy process when you're cleaning and looking for conflicts. A bit more hassle in the beginning, to make the rest go more smoothly, so to speak. When you're in the shortcut properties, you aren't clicking a button. You're typing that in, so that particular shortcut will be dedicated only to -QuickAutoClean. Now, when you want to clean your mods or masters, it's a matter of double clicking on the Quick Auto Clean xedit shortcut, and just selecting the file you want to clean. It will do the rest. No more having to apply filters and tell it to get rid of ITMs, UDRs, etc. There's another one called -VeryQuickShowConflicts, which allows you to double click that particular shortcut and see your conflicts, without having to apply separate filters. What you end up with is 3 separate desktop shortcuts. One for the normal xedit, one for quick cleaning, and one for conflicts. Here's a video which will cover use to clean masters. There is a link to an install video, if you need a bit more. The non-mod-manager instructions start about 8:07.
BenOfficial989 Posted June 19, 2019 Posted June 19, 2019 How do you add -QuickAutoClean to it with nexus mod manager?
thumbincubation Posted June 19, 2019 Posted June 19, 2019 My understanding is Mod Organizer is the only mod manager you need to do something special for. NMM should work fine, with a standard xedit installation, as shown above after the MO section.
