Add Item from old save game

[billys2008]

I have recently decided to play Morrowind after a 10 year hiatus. I have all my old backups and saves from yesteryear. There is an item in one of the save games that I would like to port over to a new game. It is called "qsp_renhat" - it is a green beret that my character wore. The problem is I don't know where it came from - I believe I may have found it on the ground in Pelagiad. I have over 100 mods in the old save games so it would be very difficult to figure out where it originated. I searched the data files but there are no files with this name. Is there any easy way to find and add this item to a new game?

I found the mod that has the beret. I used the Construction Set to narrow down the mods that might have it. It turns out that it is in the "The Underground 2" mod. I then used the console to add it to my player.

look for *.es? files containing your searched string in the Data Files folder (no subfolders), using any file search tool (e.g. searchmyfiles, multi commander, double commander...)
* means "any character repeated 0 or more times"
? means "any character repeated exactly one time"

so *.es? is a file mask covering morrowind plugins

or you could use TES conflict detector to load and search inside your loading list, or latest alpha version of tes3cmd with the --active parameter...
