Due to low-level corruption in this mod's plugin, it is impossible to clean it in TES4Edit (fatal exception will occur) unless go to an even lower level editor to remove the corrupted records. For this, we require TESSnip (http://www.tesnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=2114). Download the utility, and open the plugin in TESSnip to begin.


One there locate the CELL record DELETEDHdADungeon (Fifth GRUP bunch down in the CELL GRUP, first Sub-Group). Delete that cell. Given the prefix (and the fact that it is impossible to get there aside from COC), it is highly unlikely that it was ever meant to be in the game in the first place.
This mod contains two cells that share the same FormID (DELETEDHdADungeon and DELETEDHdAHaus, with FormID XX000CE8). This will cause TES4Edit to error when you attempt to open the plugin to clean it. There are two methods to correct this:
 
1. Open the plugin in the Construction Set and give one of the cells a new FormID. This is not recommended unless you are a highly experienced modder, though.
 
2. Use TESSnip to remove one of the duplicated cells. Instructions follow:
 
Once, you have opened the plugin in TESSnip, locate the CELL records DELETEDHdADungeon and DELETEDHdAHaus (Fifth GRUP bunch down in the CELL GRUP, first Sub-Group). As you will be able to tell, these cells have identical FormIDs, and at least one of them needs to go. Given the prefix of the Forms, it is very likely that neither was ever meant to be seen in game, but this is something that really cannot be told at a cursory glance. Anyways, deleting at least one of these cells will fix the error.


This will allow you to edit the plugin in TES4Edit and clean things up.
