Over the years I have sometimes cleaned game masters and sometimes not. I was never able to trace any particular gaming problem to a dirty master, nor was I ever able to trace the resolution of a particular problem to cleaning the masters. Apart from anecdotal evidence pro and con, is there any substantive research that either confirms or refutes the need to clean game masters?

 

 

I've done the same, I've cleaned, and have also NOT cleaned, and I'm talking the SAME GAMES.

I've never noticed any difference whether it helps or not.

 

From what I've read, the people who support cleaning, do so because of errors in the ESMs

The people who DON'T support cleaning, bring up the fact that some mods reference those things that get removed if you clean the ESMs

 

I can't say either way which is 'correct'

It could all be a placebo effect, who knows, I haven't seen any official word

 

 

NOTHING gets remove if you clean. The records that are deleted still exists in the original plugin they were in, otherwise they would not be "Identical to Master".

Removing ITM is the only way to be sure that and edit to a form done by a mod will actually applied by the last mod that modified that form and not be hidden by an unnecessary copy of the original form in a later mod.

I'm determined to figure this out today. If I can't, or I can reproduce the effects, I will post the issue on Discord. This actually sounds more like a Wrye Bash issue to me, but the count in the lower right corner there was still 269/371 so its still above the limit. When I bring it down to that number I have no issues starting the game. It's just when I reach 270 or 271 that it says "full load list".

 

I wonder if Wrye Bash could be counting some of the mods Vortex allowed me to change to Mark Light against my active mods? I might have to post the problem on that site as well. Here's hoping a restarted computer this morning after a rest fixes all things.
