Hello, I do not know if this is the right place for this question, however, I will ask it. I trust I will be redirected to the right place. First, I am using MO ver 1.2.9, and have version 304.4 stand alone of Wrye Bash. My question; I have wondered, after making a bash patch, can I remove the esp and esm files patched from my load order? I have not tried, guess I have been a bit chicken. I have been searching, however, I have not seen anything on this subject.
