LordMyotis Posted December 19, 2012 Author Share Posted December 19, 2012 (edited) I do know how to clean myself well somewhat anyway i have cleaned update.esm hearthfire.esm and dawnguard.esm just not sure if it is safe or smart to clean someone elses mod Edited December 19, 2012 by LordMyotis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shadow56 Posted December 20, 2012 Share Posted December 20, 2012 There are some video's on YouTube that explain how to clean mods using TES5edit. However it is strongly recommended that you only clean the update.esm, and the Dawnguard.esm and Hearthfire.esm if you have those installed. Leave the cleaning of the mods to their respective authors. If you see BOSS is reporting problems with a certain mod then leave a comment to it's author and ask that he clean the mod.

stars2heaven Posted December 20, 2012 Share Posted December 20, 2012 It is generally safe to clean other mods too in the exact same way, and it might be necessary if one you want to play with breaks another mod. If the mods require certain dirty edits to function then it should say so on the main page. I can think of only one mod since Oblivion that was like this and I don't know of any in Skyrim that are. That said, letting the author know is still good. But be polite about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MotoSxorpio Posted December 21, 2012 Share Posted December 21, 2012 DO NOT ever ever ever Undelete UDRs (in official Bethesda plugins)...it is relatively safe to clean ITMs but really doesn't help much...besides Steam will overwrite with any contact about verifying or updates. OP: describe your CTDs...when do they happen? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
