|detailed=<!--This is the Official DLC from Bethesda. It should follow the ''Cleaned Updated.esm'' in the [[Guide:Mod_Organizer#Left_Pane|left pane]] modlist. If custom, optimized versions of the textures from Dawnguard are used, they should be placed directly after it. Also, Dawnguard.esm must be cleaned in [[TES5Edit]]:

#Wait for the ''Background Loader: finished'' in the right panel, and then {{fc|#ddd|right-click [Dawnguard.esm]}} and select {{fc|#ddd|[Apply Filter For Cleaning]}}.
#*Wait for the {{fc|white|''[Filtering done]''}} message in the right panel, and then right-click Dawnguard.esm and select {{fc|white|''Remove "Identical to Master" records''}}. If the ''Warning!'' prompt pops up, click ''Yes, I'm absolutely sure''.
#Wait for the ''[Filtering done] Processed Records:'' message in the right panel, and then {{fc|#ddd|right-click [Dawnguard.esm]}} and select {{fc|#ddd|[Remove "Identical to Master" records]}}. If the ''Warning!'' prompt pops up, click {{fc|#ddd|[Yes, I'm absolutely sure]}}.

#Wait for the ''[Undeleting and Disabling References done] Processed Records:'' message, and then click the {{ui|X}} at upper right of the program window to exit the program.

#At the prompt, {{fc|#ddd|checkmark Dawnguard.esm and Backup Plugins}} and click {{ui|OK}}.
#*Dawnguard.esm is a special case. It needs to be cleaned twice [http://forums.bethsoft.com/topic/1476559-cleaning-mods-issue/]. Repeat the same process just performed.
#Dawnguard is a special case. It must be cleaned twice. {{fc|#ddd|Repeat steps 2 through 9}}.
#After cleaning, there shall be files in Overwrite (essentially a fake mod located at the bottom of the left pane if sorted by priority ascending) created by TES5Edit.
{{AlertSmall‏‎|type=notice|text=LOOT will show the plugin as clean after the first pass, but a further clean will remove 6ITMs from it.}}
#*Locate the TES5Edit Backups mod created during the Update.esm cleaning process.
 
#*Double-click Overwrite to open it.
At this point there are {{fc|#ddd|two possible outcomes}}, dependent upon how fast your disc drive is:
#*Drag the TES5Edit Backups folder from Overwrite to the TES5Edit Backups mod. This will keep them in an organized and safe location. The files have no impact on the game.
*In the {{fc|#ddd|first case}} (typically slower drives such as HDDs), the {{fc|#ddd|Dawnguard.esm is}} now {{fc|#ddd|no longer in the data directory}}.
#Place the cleaned Dawnguard.esm in a new mod inside Mod Organizer
*In the {{Fc|salmon|second case}} (typically faster drives such as SSDs), a cleaned {{fc|#ddd|Dawnguard.esm is}} now {{fc|#ddd|in the data directory}} (compare the filesize to your backup of Dawnguard.esm to verify that it has been cleaned--it should be smaller).
#*Go to <code><ModOrganizer>/mods</code> and create a new folder called {{fc|white|''Cleaned Dawnguard ESM''}}.
 
#*Copy the cleaned Dawnguard.esm from <code><skyrim>/data</code> to the {{fc|white|''Cleaned Dawnguard ESM''}} directory.
In the {{fc|#ddd|first case}}, you should now do the following:
#*Enable the {{fc|white|''Cleaned Dawnguard ESM''}} mod in [http://wiki.step-project.com/Guide:Mod_Organizer#tab=Left_Pane Mod Organizer's left pane] by ticking the checkbox.
#{{fc|#ddd|Restore the backed up Dawnguard.esm from step 1 to the data directory}}.
#In Mod Organizer, at the bottom of the left pane modlist is the {{fc|#ff7878|Overwrite}} mod, now labeled red because files have been written to it. {{fc|#ddd|Double-click}} to open it.
#In Overwrite you will find two items: a TES5Edit Backups folder and Dawnguard.esm. Since you already restored your own backed up Dawnguard.esm to the data directory, right-click and {{fc|#ddd|delete}} the {{fc|#ddd|TES5Edit Backups}} folder and click {{ui|Close}}.
#{{fc|#ddd|Right-click Overwrite}} and select {{fc|#ddd|''Create Mod...''}}, name it {{fc|#ddd|''Cleaned Dawnguard ESM''}}, and click {{ui|OK}}.
#{{fc|#ddd|Drag and drop the new Cleaned Dawnguard ESM mod to immediately follow Dawnguard (the Non-MO mod) in the left pane modlist}}.


The {{fc|white|''Cleaned Dawnguard ESM''}} mod should be placed between Dawnguard and Unofficial Dawnguard Patch in [http://wiki.step-project.com/Guide:Mod_Organizer#tab=Left_Pane Mod Organizer's left pane].
In the {{Fc|salmon|second case}}, you are done! You can safely delete the backup as you shall not need it (if you wish to restore the original uncleaned Dawnguard.esm later, you can simply verify Steam cache and redownload it).-->
