Another great tutorial, Michael! I appreciate your "even if you are not a mod author, learn what you can" approach. My (grown-up) kid is starting to get into modding, and your videos have already been a huge help to her. She likes getting more information that she strictly needs to do a thing, because it gives her the context of "why," and you excel at creating that context.

Simpler Method for Vortex Users: On Vortex, in the plugins options, just filter by plugins that could be turned light, double click the plugin, find the option Mark Light, mark all that you want to flag as ESL, wait and re-deploy the mods, allow the modifications and you're good to go.

Man it doesn't matter how old your videos are, they still always help. Can't get enough of you GamerPoets

To further clarify on the interior cell bug even more, it ONLY effected on NEW interior cells. Vanilla and DLC Cell Records remain uninfected by this bug, so ESL patches effecting only those recordd are safe.

I've said this before on a couple of your videos but thank you again for putting out the content that you do. You've made the entire modding experience SO much easier for me to understand and even enjoy. I was so lost starting off but just from watching videos from you and Gopher, I feel like I'm really getting the hang of everything.

This is a lifesaver, now I can use a lot more mods in my playthroughs. Thank you for this.

I wish i had your guides the last time i tried to mod skyrim years ago, I cannot stress enough how ridiculously helpful these videos are to a beginner trying to use modding tools for the first time. Things like Wrye Bash, MO2, and LOOT can look very intimidating at first, since they have very few instructions, but these vids let me feel confident when i am cleaning, installing, and organizing mods. Absolutely awesome.

This is an amazingly easy way for a returning TES vet to get back into a heavily modded game. I'm following Sinitar's mod lists and realized I was WAY over limit before I was halfway done. This will absolutely help me out; and I truly appreciate the effort to make this so accessible.

Oooh Michael, this is exactly what I needed! I was just wondering this yesterday..."how can I tell which ones are safe to ESLify" and voila, here you is. Thanks love, you're doing great work!! ♥

Thank you again Michael for all patience and work put in these videos! You are helping us greatly and saving time and tones of frustration and most of all thanks to bethesdas and other games, modding community - prior nexus and ppl like Yourself we can enjoy real gaming to drop and ease the burdens of our everydays lifes. Thank you again and a thousand times more !

I love your personality, smile, voice, content, and channel! Thank you so much for making the work you do, like seriously, thank you, you rock dude!

The arguments part of xedit always surprised me, i rememberer the first time i were told i had a quck mode and i was like "WHAT? IS DIZ MAGIC OR SOMETHING"

Is that how your dogs wake you in the morning at 45 seconds? I get drools from a cat instead in the morning. Nice to see that you finally uploaded the video after your previous attempts. When I'm finally feeling better after having food poisoning since Sunday.

You just blew my mind. Great video!

SAVED in my FAVS, Thank you so much!

5:04, Hi I would like to know how to identify new interior records, I'm an experienced mod user, I use xedit to check basic conflicts, errors, and cleaning, please I will understand. Thanks for your great videos, always you upload, I know there will be valuable information.

Dude is smart.. Thank you for suportin game for such long time.. I m back after 11 years to fully Xp.. moded skyrim.. Game is better than.. Most new games.. still 3th best rpg after Elden ring and withcer 3.. with moded version is almost tie. i wish Top moder comunity would make fully moded wersion.. for Normies with aproval from bethesda.. Reply

I know this is an older video but.....Your videos are incredibly helpful! Whether new to modding or experienced, you've done a stellar job of making a fun, and safe feeling environment to learn all of the intricacies of modding which can tend to feel overwhelming to any experience group. Hats off to you and your hard work for bettering the mod community

Thank you for your amazing tutorials!! I would love one about xEdit conflict resolution

Dude i love ur tutorials in helped me alot THX :D And i gust LOVE ur voice XD so pleasant to hear

Hey Michael. Would you consider making a tutorial for Automated Leveled List Addition? I feel that this is a tool many users new to modding would be interested in but would be unsure how to install and use. Thanks!

Sound guide as always. You're the best in the buisness mate

When I tried this, none of the plugin headers had a checkbox for ESL flag.

I would love to see a compacting tutorial

This video was what I needed. Thank you

I've just reached the 255 plugin limit, so this guide comes in handy, thank you! But how on earth do I see what is an interior cell or not...?

Another excellent video, as always.

Can someone explain to me how I go about browsing my plugins to see if they add new cell interiors or not?

You got my sub for the thumbnail

EDIT: I forgot to add the command argument -sse. Silly me. Resolved. :D I got an error resulting in no plugins whatsoever and a CMD notification prior to SSEEdit booting up. Loot tells me SKSE isn't present.

Thankyou. This really really really helped me.

So, I flagged the ESPs that could be flagged as ESLs, but the number of plugins in MO2 didn't change. How can I tell I'm not going over the 255 ESP plug in limit?

is cell data still a problem with AE?

Please help I'm getting "Could not rename D:\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\Fallout 4\Data\(Modname).esp to D:\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\Fallout 4\Data\FO4Edit\Backups\(Modname).esp.backup.(date and time)" what is wrong exactly? Edit 1 hour later: So I checked task manager and it turned out Fallout 4 was still running in the Background Processes, after that i tried the simple process of esp to esl and it worked finally.

Great videos. You really have a knack for tutorials. I didn't find any esps in my search but did find some esm files. Is the process the same and will it work to make more room for more mods??

You know what I really need. is someone to show me basics of CK and LOOT as well. Anyone know if an video's like these are already done?

Thank you for this video. Clean. Easy. GP at its finest!

I feel like a child sitting at the adult table while they talk about politics and taxes and I'm drinking my sippy cup like, I tied my own shoes today. 🤓

So I had a question: I just noticed that Vortex has the option in the plugins tab that shows you which plugin could be tagged as "light", with the hollow white leaf symbol". If double clicked it brings a menu that allows you to switch directly in Vortex without xEdit. My Question is that it Vortex states that it will switch to an "ESPfe)". Is that the same as flagging it as ESL? I tried to do this with 1 mod and it appears as ESL when loaded into xEdit.

great console collection in the previous video btw lol

Hi, thank for the tutorial. In the list that it generated it has file that are flagged as ESM, do I flag them as ESL too? Can I try to find how to compact those able to be flagged ESL by compacting FormIDs too? Or is it a bad idea?

Apparently it's only possible to do this in Skyrim and Fallout 4, the option isn't available in FNVEdit, or maybe it does, but I haven't been able to find a way to do this and I haven't been able to find such a way

Thanks!

Perhaps I didn't understand in the previous explanation, so I want to ask it. Why is it not possible to flag ESP's as ESL's with cell modules?

Brilliant. Thx for this.

Wouldn't ESLifying mods that contain scripts be a problem too? edit: that's compacting formIDs, my b

I noticed that VORTEX on its plug-in tab also has many ESP flagged as convertible to light. Would it be safe to use that option? It doesnt seem as agressive as some of the editors and flags far fewer plug-ins suited for 'conversion'

Hi! Quick question here! Do I need MO2 to turn ESP into ESPFE? Or I can simply follow the steps of "Process - Detailed" to get it done without using MO2? Thanks!

if i can understand you can use this way almost the same for SK LE?

can we do multiple file to esl's before closing xedit

I was wondering if you have any idea if the mods with "forms 43/44" need to be converted into creation kit, the "forms 43/44" could have consequences in my save?

Bit of a silly question perhaps but my TES5Edit (4.0.3) does not have an option for ESL when trying to change the Record Flag (I only have the options ESM, Localized and Ignored). I haven't found any info on why this might be the case. Would anyone here know why?

not really worked... Loot continously crying.. :( i spent 2 months XD for done my modpack but omg.... never will be complete and working without bugs... enemies are dont attack XD (neutrals) spells not apearing in shops and i cant install more mods because fking esp esl thing.. what dont solved :( LOOT Cant realize changing in sseedit?

so what do i do if i dont have the esl in record flags

can I turn it to ESL + compacting form IDs if even I'm in the middle of the game?

Mike, I Have an issue where im finding alot of esl extensions placed on armor mods. i believe this is why the game has been crashing lately. they are loading Above the files like armorsmith which THEY depend on. What is a safe way to change the Extension back to esp, THEN change the file to an esp with esl header? I cant find a solution. Please help. i have redone my game three times already.

Thanks for the video. What is the recommended way of making a merged patch (SSEMerged/TES5Merged) and/or bashed patch since both programs typically only allow 255 plugins loaded even if some are ESL flagged?

Can we convert more than one esp to an ESL Flagged esp during the same session?-to be more efficient?

Do I need to use the "-PseudoESL" argument when flagging esp's to esl? Also would you recommend flagging landscape mods (i.e. Skyrim 3D Rocks and Skyland) or is it better to stick with small patches? Thanks man for the informative video

Another great tutorial! I'm working up the courage to try it out. So just to be sure I understand, to be on the safe side, I should not flag an esp as an esl if I see that there is a "sub-block" where the number is shown in white? "Blocks" are ok though? if they don't have "Sub-Blocks"? On a somewhat side note, is there a way in Vortex or XEdit to see how many plugins are still .esp(s) that count toward my load order? With some .esp(s) being internally flagged as .esl, it seems hard to get a good count of how close I am to the magic 255. Thanks in advance for any help.

In your experience, does converting a merged plugin present a problem if it's just simple things like a bunch of merged crafting recipes?

Hello Michael, thanks for the tutorial. So, for Skyrim SE, it is safe to say that you can convert all plugins that appears after doing the script as long as they don't have that cell thing? Is it safe to convert back by doing the same process and just unchecking (I converted some with cells by mistake)? Also, if the plugin is a master, the patches wil recognize it normally? Sorry for so many questions, I'm relatively new to modding. Thanks in advance.

Michael - I just wanted to be clear on something. It is possible to create a C-ESPLite (Compressed File w/ESP flagged as ESL), but the newly compressed filed will no longer work with patches that were made prior to the conversion to C-ESPLite. Is this always the case? If so, I imagine that it would be possible to create new patches for the new file though you would have to make the patches from scratch? Thanks, I know it's an old topic but I was reworking my load order and just want to be sure of how this works.

Im using fnv edit and the esl flag isnt showing in record flags. I would thank the heavens if you could tell me what is going on man.

So...is xedit required if you're just an average modder?

Does failing to check for new interior cells break the game entirely, or does the problem only show up under certain circumstances? I followed a different guide that didn't include that warning and added .ESL flags to a bunch of .ESPs and my game seems to be working properly. Did I just get lucky?

i can't support you on patreon and paypal because of my online payment issue, but i watch all the ads, does that help you enough ?

The esl flagged plugins work on any Skyrim version? They depend only by the mod manager?

So after doing this, do I need to take out the item from my load order? Or just leave it, and it doesn't count towards 254?

Awesome

Hey @GamerPoets, I have tried to find out if I can turn my ESP files to ESL for a Skyrim Legendary Edition but I had no luck, and I only think I can do that for SSE. Am I wrong here? xD

Cries in xbox

Still great stuff. ;-)

I'm using MO2 but it's not installing the plugins in my sse data folder, do I move them all manually from MO2 mod folder while changing the path for storing mods or is there an easier option ?

is this possible with zedit

Hei Michael, There is a mod out there, that reading nexus posts and in reddit, people are getting some difficulties to install it, some more, some a bit less, like me, and yet.... The thing is that the mod is not only awesome, but the angle proposition of "one to rule them all" makes it special .... I am talking about Omega I have installed it, the game works, yet i don't know if i did everything right or even I could have got something more out of it...... Since you are so good (no pats in the back, i do really thing so) explaining and making explaining video tutorials.. Would you consider making a video about installing Omega? ( - www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/17653?tab=bugs - ) Tx in any case

This is great. Thank you. Can you not add the background music? Does not add value to your content and is distracting.

Help ! there's no "ESL" in the list of Record Flags (I'm using TES5Edit 4.0.2)

Thank you sir

Your tutorials are hands down one of the best ones, or once ago I stumbled onto a 1 hour long guide lol for SSEdit and I stopped modding Skyrim SE. You have that short, sweet and simplest things matter vibe about you, overall, really great this channel Xd

Is it possible to backport esl plugins to Legendary? (Like sse to le)

First time Esl(ing?) my mods. Thank you for the super simple and easy-to-understand guide!

When launching xEdit and selecting all the mods, the message at the bottom left of the window says: "Error: Too many full modules." I'm guessing I just have too many plugins selected?

When I run xEdit with MO2 the modlist doesnt show up. Just the DLCs are loaded. I did everything correctly and even disabled windows defender to try If its blocking xEdit, reinstalled xEdit, etc. I have MO2 v2.2.0 (up to date) and SSEEdit 4.0.2. Ive tryed for hours pls help me :/

I came here to learn how to ESLify as my modlist is getting pretty long but the funny thing is that all 80+ of the ESPs in my load order that could be flagged as ESL already were lmao. God I love how simple modding has become since I started in 2012 with Oblivion/Fallout 3.

I have just created a mod that doesn't modify interior cells and under the HEDR section in the right pane says it has 58 number of records, but when I search by [FE with all the changes thus far it isn't listed. Does that mean that there's going to be a problem if i convert the mod to ESL? Or should it remain an ESP?

When you have an issue like "If there is an interior cell then..." can you show that in the video, an example?

Always valuable content, thx!

Is it safe to add an ESL flag to all of these prntscr.com/sgq2gg

I am confused by the whole ESL thing. I have a couple of questions. So my first question, 1. If I am using XEDIT, does typing "[FE" in the filter section, only show esps that can be safely turned into esls or do I still need to be careful what I esl in that list? The issue is I have an esp that is shown in the list as esl flaggable but it contains cell records. Can I esl flag it or do I leave it alone? The other issue as well is I see that patches also show up in the xedit list, do I leave those patches alone or can I safely esl flag them. I know that esl flagged esps will load before esps but some patches show up as esl flagged which confuses me because I did not esl flag them myself. I have no idea if I will get a reply from anyone but I will just stay safe and unflag any esps that are patches or fixes. The only exception to this is if the patch or esp contains only esms as masters. Second question, For example, lets say I open up XEDIT and I type [FE in the filter section, and then lets say I also esl flag everything (Patches included) assuming it is safe to do so. Do ESL flagged ESPS always load before ESPS or do they follow the load order? I have esl flagged esp patches that in the load order in MO2 show that they will load after the mod but I also know esl flagged esps will load first which is bad. Hopefully someone replies.

How do I bring up Modify executables and Arguments for Vortex?

Great tutorial; thanks for sharing your knowledge. This will help us all get more high quality mods for our favorite games. Cheers!

4:14 - exedit modify

Hi there. I have two questions. a.) Why [fe? Should the other mods left untouched? If so, why? b.) Any idea why an object inside a mod menu (Snappy

Thanks!

Hey my friend, I know there are vids out there that show how to merge mods but the narration is crap and most times people get lost in the process, everyone is using a program called Merge Plugins, it would be nice if you would or could you please do a vid on this as it would be helpful to all player Fallout 4 and others thank you in advance.

MO2 puts the SSEeditCache into my overwrite folder. I created a new Mod with it, that I didn´t activate. Am I safe with that?

Does this only work for SE? Also how can I change the argument if I am running Tess5edit out of Vortex?

i have about 80 esp in fallout 4, what is the max esp i can have, and should i use some esl if the mods have them? sorry maybe you answer this before, i am very green about this
