Why are Text Files Removed at Install by SLRE and Others?

[JohnBell5713]

Hi,

 

I'm new to the Skyrim modding world, so please forgive me if this question is basic. I've noted that SL:RE and some other overhauls/packs specify non installation of text files. Why is this? Does the game load .txt files thus contributing to eating up the 3.1Gb available space, or is there some other reason?

 

Thanks in Advance,

John

1. They show as conflicts if, for example, they are both named readme.txt

 

2. We are neat freaks. :)

Just clutter removal mainly.
