Now we simply repeat the process for each of the DLCs one at a time. Note - it is not neccessary to back up the original plugin, but you can if you prefer.

In order to save the changes simply click the 'X' on the top right corner of the window to close SSEedit and it will bring up the save window. Right click on Update.esm one last time and select Undelete and Disable ReferencesĬongradulations, update.esm is done. There will be an 'Are you absolutely sure' window, hover over the yes button for a few seconds and it will become available, click Yes, then wait for the script to complete. Right click on Update.esm again and select Remove 'Identical to Master' records. Then again wait for the opperation to complete. Right click on Update.esm in the left pane, and select 'Apply Filter for Cleaning'.

Open SSEedit, right click in the Master/Plugin selection window, and choose 'Select None' then put a check in the boxes for Skyrim.esm, and Update.esm, Click OK, then wait for the background loading proccess to complete. Therefore it needs to be cleaned first, and by itself. Update.esm is the file that brings Skyrim up to the current build, and as such is a required file for all other DLCs. Then just double click on the data folder after sellecting the correct game. I find it useful to pause for a moment at the X:/Steam/Steamapps/Common folder when I'm selecting the game to edit. Please be careful when you're navagating to the data folder as the two games are virtually identical. Please make sure to keep all of the files together, but nothing needs to be 'installed' just right click on TES5edit or SSEEdit.exe and select 'send to' and desktop to make a shortcut. (Actually they are the same program, you can simply rename it, I'm just trying to keep it simple)Įxtract the download to your preferred tools folder, or simply to your game drive.

The procedures are exactly the same but the number of files cleaned/undeleted in the screen shots will not exactly match. Note, the newest WIP versions of Xedit (3.3.5 Beta at the time of this writing) clean a little more than when the guide was released. Please make sure you download the current version. There is only one tool required for cleaning your master files, and that is Xedit.
