Quick question about FCO

[MrPsykoziz]

I have a quick question about the guide, I think I have the right idea but I wanted to double check real quick.

 

So when the guide says to delete every record beginning with "00" in non player characters, that includes the ones like this "000156F0" (<-- just an example) right?

 

Or am I supposed to leave them there? I assume not since they do actually begin with "00".

Yeah, 000 still starts with 00. The reason we focus on the first digits is that it's used as the load order number. If you changed a mods placement in load order some of the formIDs would change as well. 00 is always FalloutNV.esm though, then they increase from there 01, 02, 03, 04...

 

The last six numbers are the reference number of the formID.
