Rennn Posted February 3, 2013 Share Posted February 3, 2013 I spent several hours working on one of my mods. It changed the sleep outfits of about 400 npcs. However, I realized that sleep outfits actually do nothing. It was a waste of time. Now, I'm trying to find a way to undo all those changes to the npcs, so that my mod doesn't conflict with so many other mods. Also, if I only changed the npc sleep outfits, would that be incompatible with other mods that change the npc, even if it changes something totally different about the npc?

ripple Posted February 3, 2013 Share Posted February 3, 2013 (edited) Also, if I only changed the npc sleep outfits, would that be incompatible with other mods that change the npc, even if it changes something totally different about the npc? In most cases, yes. Even though it may not be a 'true conflict', your mod would conflict with mods that edit the same NPC records (cosmetic appearance, inventory items, levels, perks, AI package assignment....you get the drift). A TES5Edit merged patch might be able to merge these NPC record conflicts, but 1) it's won't do merges as intelligently as Wrye Bash (which won't merge NPC records, yet), so even things that are not supposed to be merged, will be merged, and 2) even fewer people know about/use merge patches than people who know about/use Bashed Patch. Releasing such a mod (if you had any plans of doing that) would just be an invitation for hoards of newbies to crap on you about why it doesn't work in their game.

I guess if that's the only thing your mod does, you can just delete the plugin and move on to another project. If not....well....good luck.

Rennn Posted February 3, 2013 Author Share Posted February 3, 2013 It's far from the only thing the mod does, but it's the only thing I want to get rid of. :(I should have made more backups. It looks like I'll be starting over from scratch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
