This works best when you're only changing existing records in another plugin. | This works best when you're only changing existing records in another plugin. For example, if you want to alter the armored horses from DLCHorseArmor, this is the easiest way to do it. | ||
In the following examples, we'll use SomePlugin.esp as the original mod and MyTweaks.esp to contain the de-isolated changes, also known as "overrides". | |||
The first (and easiest) solution requires TES4Edit. | |||
* When you launch TES4Edit, it will popup a window showing your complete plugin load-order list. You can load everything, but this may be more than you really need. If you right-click anywhere in the list, you'll get an option to select none, which unchecks everything. Now you can just pick the plugin you want to alter. | |||
* Click OK when you're ready. | |||
* Once it finishes loading, expand the tree listing on the left for SomePlugin.esp. | |||
* Now expand the tree further to expose the specific records you want to change, such as Creatures, Weapons, etc. | |||
* Select the records you want to change. You can use shift-click and/or ctrl-click to select multiple records. | |||
* Right-click and select ''Copy as override into...'' from the context menu. | |||
* You'll get a popup listing all of your plugin files. Pick the last option, ''new file''. | |||
* When prompted to enter a name, type MyTweaks (without the .esp extension). | |||
* Once it's done copying the records and saving your new file, you'll find MyTweaks.esp available in the left-hand navigation tree. Clicking on any of the records there will show you both the original values from SomePlugin.esp and the new values from MyTweaks.esp. | |||
* Click on any of the field values in the MyTweaks.esp column and make whatever changes you want. You can also drag and drop values from other records of the same type. | |||
* When you're done, use Ctrl-S to save your changes. | |||
and select the plugin you want to alter. | |||
