xEdit Cache - Overwrite

[CodeNamed1]

Is it save to keep the xEdit produced cache files in the overwrite folder? Or should I always remove them before starting my game?

 

As It is faster loading with xEdit with the files in overwrite but I'm afraid it can be harmful to my game?

You can create a mod out of the contents of the overwrite folder and then modify the executable to always write to this mod. Just enable the "Create files in mod instead of overwrite" and select the mod just created from the drop down box.  Enable the mod and anything xEdit creates will go into this mod.

 

See attached picture.

That's great! Is it save to keep the folder created always active??

I do and I do not see anything that would say otherwise. Just remember I you make a new ESP that is where it will go.

Just so you know, the overwrite mod has the highest priority in MO. So any files in there will overwrite the rest of the load order. it is good practice to keep it clear of files.

Yes I know of this :)
