Basic question on Plugin Cleaning

[ezpkns34]

Cleaned masters & dlc stuff, but was watching a video demonstrating how to use ZMerge with Vortex and it mentioned cleaning plugins before starting

 

Curious what cleaning them does (or can do), especially on more popular mods like Majestic Mountains, Realistic Water Two, etc?

Seems those popular ones would be cleaned already, or am I not understanding how cleaning works or what it's for (that's very possible)?

 

 

For what it's worth, not having any issues at all with the game, mods & plugins at the moment. Just wanting to add more and thus will be trying to merge my craftable armor plugins to free up some space

Unless you know what you doing, do not try to clean all your plugins, some MODs have intencional ITMs.

 

The worst it can happen, is the MOD reverting the changes from Unofficial Patch, you can use xEdit to check for conflicts.

Yeh, what I was thinking too, glad I asked

 

Thanks
