XEdit must launch through Mod Organizer in order for it to recognize installed mods, so add TES5Edit to the list of executables by doing the following: Click the gears icon. I am using Mod Organizer, SKSE, TES5Edit and SKYUI thats all i have installed atm. After cleaning my Bethesda masters they have disappeared from Mod organizer. I did create a TES5Edit Backups folder for the overwrite.
Returning player here. I'm currently starting fresh and look to STEP project because I've heard good things about them.Since STEP recommends using Mod Organizer, I rolled with it. I'm currently at 'clean your masters' phase and I'm incredibly confused at this step:
And sure enough, it disappeared. The guide does say that I could create a mod in MO that will overwrite the update.esm (or so it says) but I'm feeling mighty uncomfortable. That's not how it worked back when I manually use TES5EDIT without passing Mod Organizer, the cleaned master simply sits there chilling without any workaround. What about the DLC masters? How do I clean them? LOOT asked me to clean them but the STEP guide provides no information about the DLC masters.
STEP warns that TES5EDIT will be unable to see anything if I don't run it from MO. It feels wrong, as if my entire Skyrim is in MO's iron grip. I use my own mods and they need manual loose files overwrite, how do I do that with MO?
