How do I easily restore original dragonborn.esm?

[berznarf]

Hi,

I just started the STEP Core. I'm going through 2.D, and I made a slight error. When I was meant to backup my original dragonborn.esm before cleaning it, I accidentally backed up dawnguard.esm instead. I did not notice that until after I had gone through the cleaning. 

 

Is there a simple way for me to restore my original dragonborn.esm without undoing the work I've already done? I realize I'm still just beginning, but I still would rather not start from scratch.

 

I've done everything to the letter from the guide, using MO for everything, including editing the ini files. If I simply run Skyrim through Steam, will that fix my vanilla files without changing anything I've done so far? I'm not certain how necessary this is, as I plan to run the game through MO from here on out, assuming the mods work ok for me, but I imagine it's not a bad idea to fix this.

 

Sorry if this is answered somewhere else, but searching for dragonborn esm did not get me the answer for which I am looking.

 

Thanks for any help!

Yes, go to Steam, right click on Skyrim. go down to Properties. Select Properties, click on Local Files, and click Verify Integrity of Game Cache.

 

Before you do that though, back up the two ini files. When you've done the verify, copy those ini files back. This is cause when yopu verify the cache it'll overwrite any ini tweaks you've already made back to default.

But Steam shouldn't see the Mod Organizer INI files, so I doubt there would be any reason to do those.

Good point. I always did it as normal procedure from the old NMM days. Old habits die hard. :)
