Cavou Posted August 12, 2012 Share Posted August 12, 2012 Just a quick question; will using TESsnip's "spell" of converting an esp. to an esm. cause instability in my game (crashes, corrupt saves, etc)? I want to convert Fortune Canyon.esp and Vurt's WFO.esp to resolve a few issues and am hesitant to do so as I have bad experiences doing personal edits to my game. Is this a safe course of action? Thanks to anyone who replies- I don't expect a really deep answer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Werne Posted August 12, 2012 Share Posted August 12, 2012 I'd rather use Wrye Smash's "Esmify Self" command, it will turn a plugin into a masterfile. I used it a few times, never had any problems with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Werne Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 It's Wrye Flash, sorry about that. It has a different name for every game so I get confused sometimes (Smash for Skyrim, Flash for Fallout 3/NV, Bash for Oblivion, Mash for Morrowind).

rickerhk Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 The only time you may have a problem is if a plugin has overrides of worldspace references - make sure the tool you are using to esm-ify a plugin creates ONAM records or you will make stability worse. For sure FNVEdit does this. Not sure about TESsnip or Wyre flash. Also, some mods have have certain script errors, yet work anyway as a esp, but stop working when you flip the esm bit.

Cavou Posted August 13, 2012 Author Share Posted August 13, 2012 Alright, so I guess FNVedit is the best program to use. Thanks Werne and rickerhk for your help! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
