No update.esm when mod organizer creates a new profile.

[nsibley]

This is exactly what the title says.  I want to create a few new profiles in my Mod Organizer to test out various mods, but whenever I do the new profile has Skyrim.esm, but no Update.esm.  Obviously it fails to work and I can do no testing.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Then you'll need to move the cleaned version (should be in your Data directory) into a mod and activate it in MO.

Have you cleaned the Update.esm file? If so, and if you stored it in a mod, ensure you have it ticked and activated.

Thanks for the reply, I have cleaned it and I do not have it in a mod however.  It exists in my main profile.  Only new ones that I create do not have it.

Didn't know you could even do that with master files.  Thanks very much!

Yep, this is how we instruct users to clean the game files in the STEP Guide. This way, even if you have to verify your Steam cache, you won't loose your cleaned files from Steam replacing them.
