Fixing Alternate Start with TES5edit

[DICEROLL]

I didn't do this the first time I installed STEP. But this time I have cleaned all dirty edits so far, I have no plans of getting any kinds of CTD's :P and I finally want to start playing... however I noticed in Wiki that I should also fix my Alternate Start mod.

 

What got me confused are the instructions, because I'm not 100% sure it's how it should be, I made screenshots cause I don't know any other way of explaining my problem any better

1. Select all Bethesda ESMs and Alternate Start - Live Another Life.esp then click [OK].

2. Click the Alternate Start.esp > Expand "Dialog Topic">"00038731" and select the "0006541A" node.

3. Right-click on the "Conditions" line of Alternate Start - Life Another Life.esp and select "Add" twice.

4. Drag the two conditions from Hearthfires.esm to the two newly created slots in Alternate Start - Live Another Life.esp so it contains all 4 conditions.

 

3. Like this??

 

4. It's what this does for me :S it adds 'two newly created slots' to HearthFires.esm instead

 

 

Am I clicking the 'Add' in the wrong area? It's written 'Conditions' in the wiki, so I must assume this is correct? But how do I add anything to Alternate Start when the empty slots are in HearthFires.esm :D?

 

4. When I simply drag 2 conditions from HearthFires.esm to Alternate Start.esp it looks like this, is this how it's supposed to look? If so then that's nothing as the instructions suggest

 

 

 

Thanks a lot, sorry for asking stupid questions but I'm doing as the wiki tells me xD

The entry furthest to the right is what applies. This gives you two options when making patches. Either create a new .esp by right clicking at the top and create a new one. Or just copy the entries into the existing .esp.

 

Benefit of the former is that it works even if you update the mod, the bad is that you spend more .esp slots.

 

If you just plan on getting playing soon, and not much for down the line maintenance then just copy into the existing .esp.
