In the apply filter menu, make sure only "conflict inherited by masters" is checked, then click apply.Once it is done loading (a message will be displayed in the right pane) right-click on the plugin and choose "apply filter.".(TES4Edit will start loading the plugins' resources.) Click OK until you are looking at the main screen.TES4Edit automatically loads a plugins dependencies.The plugin should be the latest loading plugin checked.Check the ONE plugin you want to clean and all mods it is expected to load with (i.e., plugins it patches).Right-click in the first window (listing your installed plugins) and choose "unselect all".Launch TES4Edit.exe (It has a pretty nondescript icon along the bottom of Bash's window.).> Warning!!! Do not have any mod groups checked (if the relevant dialog box appears) when doing plugin cleaning. A number of mods have "wild" edits, where it makes changes to things unrelated to its purpose. Q: Does using "Undelete and Disable References" and "Remove Identical to Masters" completely clean a plugin?Ī: No. Q: Is it always safe to use "Remove Identical to Masters" (even on "dirty" mods?)Ī: No, especially not when it comes to patches. There have not been any problems reported so far. Q: Is it always safe to use "Undelete and Disable References" (even on "do not clean" mods?)Ī: Yes. > Tip: It is good practice to just manually select all dependencies, in order to avoid forgetting any.

> Note: Plugins that often have implicit dependencies are compatibility patches, especially landscape patches. Q: What else do I need to load, when cleaning a plugin?Ī: Load all explicit (in the file header) dependencies and implicit (intended to load with) dependencies. Q: How many plugins can I clean at the same time?

Warning!!! Not all "Identical to Master" records should be removed! F.A.Q However, TES4Edit's function, "Undelete and Disable References" is pretty safe, and it helps alleviate a problem that is a known source of crashes. This is another case where it is safer for modders and more experienced users to do the job themselves.
