For instance, if you make or download a house mod and name it "My house 1" and add a spare door to it that goes nowhere, then at a later date make or download another house mod and name it "My house 2", and add a spare door to it going nowhere, then load up either of the house mods as the active file and attempt to link the two doors together with a teleport marker, it will not work. What will happen is when you load the mods back up in the editor, you will get several missing object errors, then several more errors stating somthing to the effect of "myhouse 1 is not a previous, unique object. previous object is type CELL. myhouse1 will be renamed myhouse1COPY001. continue playing? Yes/No/Yes to all". This error will appear between 2 and 4 times, listing both of the mods you linked and/or listing the doors you tried to link. If you try to play the mods, the game will either crash on startup or ignore the doors you created. | For instance, if you make or download a house mod and name it "My house 1" and add a spare door to it that goes nowhere, then at a later date make or download another house mod and name it "My house 2", and add a spare door to it going nowhere, then load up either of the house mods as the active file and attempt to link the two doors together with a teleport marker, it will not work.

Update: The current version of the construction set has a feature that allows you to merge multiple .esp files together, effectivly solving many of the aforementioned crosslinking issues withoug using the workaround. This feature was not available in the original version of the construction set, or at the time I wrote the workaround article. This process is not without drawbacks, however, especially if you have a large number of saved games or characters in play, and should be used with caution. If combining your mods turns out to be more trouble than it is worth in your particular situation, the aforementioned woorkaround is still a viable option, though it does require quite a bit more work to pull off sucessfully. | |||
