SSE How to make an esp add on that changes another mod

[Deleted41573005User]

Hi there,

I want to make edits to my Jon Snow Kaidan, but I want to make it as an add on esp that only includes the Kaidan character that I am editing and nothing else. Originally I had been modifying the original esp and sharing that, but I know that if Kaidan ever gets updated I will have to update again. It would make more sense for me to just create an esp that only modifies this character only but doesn’t overwrite the original esp as it would be an add on.

thank you!

Use Wrye Bash or SSEEdit to give the parent plugin the ESM flag. This allows the CK to load that plugin and allow you to create a new plugin that depends on it. When all done making edits and want to test, you need to revert the false flag on the parent plugin. And if the plugin you wish to extend also requires other non-master plugins as parents those too will need to be false flagged for the CK to load them as well.

 

If the changes you wish to make can be done completely inside SSEEdit, then you do not need to worry about false flagging.

Thank you, IsharaMeradin, that did the trick nicely!
