::A whole element of my mod rides on being able to have an undefined (limited of course by common sense) number of actors in the given situation. Actually specifying a defined number of each potential actor and having my script use each in succession will be a mighty pain in the behind. | ::A whole element of my mod rides on being able to have an undefined (limited of course by common sense) number of actors in the given situation.

:::As I said, some of it was theoretical and I was relying on reading many times that Base Records could not be removed from the game. | |||
:::So I did some quick tests with Create/DeleteFullActorCopy: Created and deleted 100 copies of an NPC, empty and full inventory. Conclusions: | |||
:::*DeleteFullActorCopy removes both the Base and the Reference records of the NPC >> No bloating copying+deleting empty NPCs | |||
:::*DeleteFullActorCopy DOES NOT remove any/all/some (??) records of the duplicated items in the inventory >> bloating if the copied NPC has items in the inventory. | |||
:::As for PlaceAtMe’d items, I had already done a lot of tests (reported [[User:QQuix/On_Dynamic_Items_and_Savegame_Bloating|here]]) and the conclusion is that the records can be removed with “xItem.activate xNPC 1” (and/or the new DeleteReference function included in OBSE 16). | |||
::: So you should be fine with: | |||
:::*Creating+deleting empty NPCs with Create/DeleteFullActorCopy | |||
:::*Adding inventory items with AddItem | |||
:::*Removing any dropped item with “xItem.activate xNPC 1” and/or DeleteReference. Note that xNPC may be any NPC, not necessarily the one that dropped the item. | |||
