mod organizer and tes5edit (OLD Backup esp not in Overwrite folder)

[neonxeon]

i set up tes5edit from following instructions here : https://wiki.step-project.com/TES5Edit

 

i can edit esp fine and saved esps are working as intended

 

the only problem is when i edit a esp from a mod the edited esp saves fine BUT the old unedited esp is actually saved in the mods folder (you know the separate folders that mod organizer has for each activated mods in the left pane)

 

this is especially annoying as i am planning on mas cleaning and removing dirty edits from my 166 activated esp files and if something goes wrong i will have a problem navigating to all those 166 folders -.-

 

using windows 10 with mod organizer running as adminstrator

No problem here, this is exactly the way MO and xEdit work together. You will just have to become more proficient with navigating the file system on your computer.

 

I use a number of tools to aid me in my file system work

Multi Commander - An excellent dual-pane file manager

Everything - A system wide search utility that finds... "everything"

ah...was hoping it would work the same way as FNIS and bodyslide where newly created files by programs running inside MO gets sent to overwrite folder. oh well
