xEdit won't save FacegenForKids.esp

[storyinmypocket]

I'm trying to clean the mod for Simple Children, and I've followed the instructions to delete the reference, but every time I try to quit xEdit to save my changes, I get this message:

I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong, or if there's a workaround.

Did you run xEdit via MO with all Arguments set in the MO executable as instructed under Tools Setup?

What version of xEdit are you using?

I am running it through MO. I double-checked and everything seemed to be in order, but I copied and pasted the arguments again just to be on the safe side. Same result.

Here's what it looks like in MO, in case there's something obvious I'm missing:

SSEEdit 4.1.5f. I downloaded it just a few days ago.

Thanks so much for taking the time to help!

I just found the problem, and I feel stupid now.

I checked Task Manager, and multiple instances of Skyrim were running. Which makes me think that it didn't close out properly after its first test run, and then I failed to notice that the .esp didn't save the first time and kept going. I first noticed something was up when I tried to generate the grass cache and the game wouldn't fully load, which just led to MO helpfully trying to restart the game for me every time I tried to close out of it, and it continuing to run in the background despite not being on my taskbar. Once I took care of that, the clean version of the .esp saved successfully, and grass cache generation is underway.

It is physically impossible for me to facepalm hard enough right now.

Thanks again for helping to troubleshoot.
