Forwarding records from DLC & Unofficial Patches - A list

[generalmx]

First I want to thank user Neovalen for his comprehensive list of conflicts found here: https://wiki.step-project.com/User:Neovalen/Skyrim_Revisited , which I was linked to by LOOT for DistantDetailHF. I'd also like to thank everyone involved in the thread https://forum.step-project.com/topic/4468-tes5edit-which-record-types-dont-need-conflict-patches/ to make sure I don't keep forwarding stuff like Water Height. Here's my methodology:

 

- Open up TES5Edit through MO.

- Select all Skyrim + DLC ESMs, and all Unofficial Patch files (USKP, UKSP for Dawnguard, Dragonborn, Hearthfire).

- Select the target mod's ESP.

- Once fully loaded, right-click the mod's ESP and go to "Apply Filter for Cleaning".

- Manually look for unforwarded references --- these will usually be gray/dark gray in appearance, though they can be orange if it just involves a DLC. It's much easier if you right-click and select "Hide unconflicted rows".

- Manually make the change to the mod's ESP by dragging a copy of affected rows from the Unofficial Patches, saving a backup that goes into MO's overwrite folder; same as S.T.E.P., these files go in a new mod "TES5Edit Backups" for future posterity.

 

Commonly conflicted records NOT to forward:

- TIFC

- Water Height

- Max Height Data

- Most script data

- Most leveled lists

For a full list see: https://forum.step-project.com/topic/4468-tes5edit-which-record-types-dont-need-conflict-patches/

 

I'm actually guessing most of the common fixes (like Location Name and Weather) are either already in the S.T.E.P. Patch, or possibly just should be made into a General Patch that's loaded late.

 

My results so far, in no particular order, from my own mod list:
