MO Overwrite odd behaviour

[Ecstatica]

When I make a Bashed Patch or run Dual Sheath Redux the esps do not go into the Overwrite folder.

The various text files associated oddly do appear. Including Debug files for DSR.

The esps instead appear to go straight into my ‘Bashed Patch - Default Profile’ and ‘Dual Sheath Redux Patch’ mods that I created earlier.

If I delete these esps then run the BP / DSR process they appear in the overwrite folder as expected.

Although the patches seem to be created (File Created timestamps show this) and loaded I still would like to know - what causes this behaviour?

( I am thinking it might have something to do with moving Skyrim to an SSD after installation. Or perhaps restoring from a backup?

In addition, I have a folder called ‘Skyrim Mods’ in my Steam Skyrim folder with ‘Bash Installers’ & ‘Bash Mod Data’ inside it. Is this normal placing or did I perhaps install wrongly at first? )


Thanks for reading.

Please read the MO manual, specifically this section.

 

Basically the behaviour can be summed up in this manner:

• If a file exists it is edited and the file is found in the mod that provided it
• If no file exists and a new one is created then it will be found in 'Overwrite'
