ScottyDoesKnow Posted February 14, 2013 Share Posted February 14, 2013 This is a bit of a useless question, mainly just curious. Is there any benefit to only setting Skyrim.esm as master? I have a small mod that only adds one script to Player and nothing else. But I would assume everyone is going to have Update.esm so it doesn't matter whether you reference it or not.

jet4571 Posted February 14, 2013 Share Posted February 14, 2013 (edited) If your mod changes something vanilla and it was updated by Bethesda then having update.esm means you are modifying the updated version and not the original. It is a good idea to have update.esm as a master for that reason alone. It also ensures that the updates are still being used such as if you changed the armor value by 2 points but left it as light armor and Bethesda did an update giving it heavy armor instead of light because thats what it was supposed to be then your mod will keep it at light armor with the adjusted value undoing Bethesda's heavy armor fix. *edit, short story is benifit is none. Advantage is the mod will use the updated info as a baseline. Edited February 14, 2013 by jet4571 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
