Step Patch - Conflict Resolution

Step Patch - Lighting and Weather

CK Cleanup

Unfortunately, past version of Creation Kit have been known to fail to forward various edits while saving a plugin. This results in errors within the plugin that must be resolved within xEdit, after the CK work is complete.

Any time a save is needed to be completed in the CK, follow the below steps:

➕ [Click to show]➖ [Click to hide] Click to show instructions

Install the CK, if not already installed (via Steam)
Install SSE CreationKit Fixes (fixes and saves some headache)
Launch the CK via MO
Click File > Data...
On the Data window scroll down to find the Patch, and click the [Set as Active File] button
Click [OK] to load the plugin and all the masters
Now click the save icon () and exit the CK

[edit]

Mods dependent upon this patch are tagged RED in the left margin of guide mod tables.

Plugin Header

The header has some specific information or settings to be applied.

Flags

The Patch does not have any flags set. They are not ESLs due to the nature of some edits. Making them ESLs would require compacting them in the CK every update. It's simply not a feasible or a recommended practice for conflict resolution patches that encompass entire mod lists.

Form Version

Creation Kit/xEdit will set the proper Form Version for the plugin, itself, as well as all the records within.

Modifications

This section holds references for records included that are not merged from other mods. These are edits created from scratch using either the CK or xEdit. Some of these changes originated from other mods, however, the changes are so simple (one or two value changes) that if the author didn't have open permissions, Step simply recreated it. Nonetheless, Step gives credit to these authors for their original ideas or discovered fixes:

Game Settings

FormID(s)	Changes
00249824	Reduces the percentage of damage the game requires before XP is given to the player upon an enemy's death. (default 25%, reduced to 15%) The game's setting for this is too high in some situations. For instance, say a player uses explosives to damage enemies and then their follower kills the enemies. At the game's default, the player would often be left with no XP from such a scenario. Thus, the threshold for this setting is slightly lowered to help make up for such scenarios without completely removing the threshold.
