Fallout 4 Can I Clean Masters With Mods Installed?

File Cleaning

Info: Bethesda's official DLCs incorporate deleted references, which can cause problems when modding the game. These "muddy edits" are not causing any trouble if the game is left united nations-modded. Even so, when mods are loaded, these muddy edits can cause crashes. Why Bethesda didn't think it was necessary to spend the 10 minutes it takes to clean upward their sloppy editing before release is a mystery, just fortunately information technology's very easy to clean it upward for them. A "dirty edit", is when a DLC (or a mod) contains data which removes an object by deleting information technology. If simply that i specific mod or DLC is loaded, this won't crusade any problems, only if some other mod has a reference to that specific object that was deleted, then the game will near probable crash when encountering the object in-game. FO4Edit can "undelete" such deleted objects, and "disable" them instead. This will go out references from other mods still beingness valid (no crash), and forestall the object from appearing in-game at the same fourth dimension. FO4Edit tin too fix a lot of other issues, but those are not important for whatever mods included in this guide. If yous already have a lot of mods installed, and you want to add these mods on top, then you probably need FO4Edit to look for mod-conflicts. If y'all merely utilize the mods from this guide, then this will not be necessary. All mods recommended here have already been thoroughly tested for compatibility. Only the official DLC-files from Bethesda has to be cleaned. If you want to farther optimize, check out this cleaning guide: (LINK) *It's made for Skyrim, but Fallout 4 works the aforementioned way.
