anjenthedog Posted October 20, 2020 Share Posted October 20, 2020 Afaik it's more prudent to perform the cleaning individually. Also, afaik, some mods should not be auto-cleaned. (I remember this from when the 1.5.80 > 1.5.97 update happened and forum posts about the issue were more prominent, although I can't provide citation) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VulcanTourist Posted October 20, 2020 Share Posted October 20, 2020 You do not want to clean the vanilla DLC plugins. At least one of them will be flagged as dirty, but if you clean it then it has the potential to break things in a very hard-to-diagnose fashion. I did it with Dawnguard or Dragonborn, and wound up regretting it have having to revert it. I don't know that you can blindly trust the LOOT messages about dirtiness and the need to clean. It's best to check mod forums for discussion about it on a case by case basis. Applying a broad brush to the process would be unwise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't even bothered to clean the masters this time around (1.5.97). Nor do I use USSEP or Engine Fixes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
