Hello All! I am running through the Step guide, and I have noticed something between the previous version 2.9.2.1 and this version 2.9.2.2 when starting the first ESM cleaning. In the former version, cleaning the file never put the ESM into the Data directory after closing out of TES5Edit (there were two possible outcomes mentioned here). This required you to manually copy the original ESM back to the Data directory, which would contain all of the uncleaned records. When running LOOT to check everything, I would get warnings about the ESM and was asked to clean it... makes sense as I just put the original ESM back into the Data directory. In the latter version, it is no longer mentioned that a file may be automatically put into Data anymore. I am assuming here that the previous paragraph always happened (it did for me at least, several times). However, you still end up with the same issue; LOOT does not see a cleaned ESM. I have found that if you run TES5Edit outside of Mod Organizer, the ESM is properly cleaned and put into the Data directory as the former version indicated it would, with a smaller file size. When running LOOT, it indicated an all cleaned ESM. So question here: Should I just run TES5Edit inside of Mod Organizer and have an uncleaned ESM (this goes for all DLCs as well)? Or should I be running TES5Edit outside of Mod Organizer? To be clear, I am running Mod Organizer with Windows UACs off completely and running as Admin (Windows 10). -Alex
