Started noticing some random CTDs (none of them save crushing ones, thank goodness), so I decided to take a look at my save through savetool, and lo and behold, I have orphaned scripts. 'Fixing' them through savetool should be theoretically be of some help, but there are a few things I need to ask;
Unsurprisingly, the orphaned scripts come from removed mods. However, surprisingly, said mod is USKP, as I replaced it with USLEEP.. which is weird because literally no one has this issue and everyone updates hassle free. Must've gone wrong somewhere; do you think I should just clean using savetool like normal or try to update from USKP to USLEEP properly? (I still have the save files using UKSP)
Second thing is about the savetool itself. There are a variety of buttons and functions which look like they can be of help, but I am not entirely sure I should use them because the tool author only instructs to use the 'FixScriptInstances' function as that one removes the orphaned scripts. Would anyone recommend using the other functions? The tool author already describes their uses, but I am unsure on whether I should use them. Most of the other buttons I press don't do anything (nothing to be cleaned/done/0 scripts 0 instances removed), but there is one I think I should use, which is Remove scripts attached to nonexistent created forms as that one removes 231 script instances and is described to be use for troubleshooting when the game crashes where the last few things on the papy log has something to do with FF00XXXX's, which is happening to me. The other advanced button, removing scripts having invalid variables, looks like something I shouldn't touch.

TES5EditScripts is a collection of several scripts written in pascalwhich allow for the execution of useful functions for the editing andcreation of Bethesda plugin files. These scripts were developed withTES5Edit in mind, though many of them work fine in other versions ofxEdit as well. These scripts will allow you to save huge chunks of timewhen creating mods for Bethesda games.

To install scripts you need to put the .pas files and all associated assetfiles into
{Skyrim Directory}TES5EditEdit Scripts
From there you can execute the scripts from within TES5Edit, or anotherversion of Edit which supports them. Executing scripts in Edit is easy,if the script has a process function you'll start by selecting the objectsyou want to apply the script to, right click on one of the objects, andclick apply script. Choose the script you want to apply from the dropdownlist and click OK.
If the script doesn't have a process function you can simply right clickanywhere and apply it. You can see individual script documentation forfurther instructions.
I'm always welcome to ideas for scripts which will save a large range ofpeople a fair amount of time. Minecraft ps4 hide and seek maps. If you have an idea for a script that fallsin the scope of this project, contact me on Nexus Mods or here on GitHub.
These scripts are under GPL2 with linking exemption. This means youcan link to the project with any program, commercial, open source orother. However, you cannot modify these scripts and distribute themwithout supplying the source.
All,
So I made a property on my script in a quest. I named it something and I really want to delete the property. But I cant find a delete anywhere. I see Edit Value, Revert (greyed out), and Auto-Fill. But there is no delete option, and simply highlighting the property and hitting delete doesnt work either.
How To Clean Scripts Skyrim Version
The irritating thing is that I didnt save my changes in the Creation Kit. I closed it, assuming that it wouldnt save my property, but apparently those auto-save. It was there when I re-opened the Creation Kit. I guess I could delete the whole quest and re-make it, but what a pain. Help? Thanks!
Going crazy with mod installations, as we did in our previous Skyrim Overhaul kit, can lead to constant CTDs, freezing, black screens, glitches, and crashing; despite how fun running through every possible solution in a crash fix guide is, it's not fun at all to potentially wipe your Skyrim installation clean and remove all mods. Having installed well over 100 mods myself (with many, sadly, being removed), I've now tested a variety of methods to troubleshoot mods in Skyrim. Let's run through the troubleshooting techniques so you can find the conflicting mods in your TES installation!
Utilties
Troubleshooting manually is extremely time-consuming and can be overwhelming enough to opt for just quitting the game. Thankfully, modders are incredibly talented and nice people, so we can always rely on them for diagnosis tools when working with mods. Android os for pc. We'll list out some of the best mod managers and troubleshooters below.
Safety First: Backup Your Saved Games
Although your saved games should be safe in the event of a re-install, it's only a minute of work to ensure they're safe forever. Assuming Windows 7, navigate to C:DocumentsMy GamesSkyrim, copy the folder's contents (including the .ini files, just in case you've made changes), and paste them to a separate location. Pasting it one level up in a 'Skyrim-Bak' folder or on a Flash/External drive are the recommended options.
Start Using a Mod Manager
First off, if you're not already using a mod manager, you should. It'll make everything easier. Seriously -- infinitely easier. In fact, I would recommend you take a few minutes to re-download all of your mods via the Nexus Mod Manager (preferred over Steam's unreliable mod management) to make your future as 'Senior VP of Mod Installation' possible. You do want to move up in the corporate Skyrim world, right? Of course you do. As you continue to extend Skyrim, the NMM will help support the community and even notify its users of mod updates as they're rolled out; it installs all the mods to a custom /mods/ directory (you designate this), that way -- in the event of uninstalling Skyrim and re-installing it -- you actually keep all your mods and won't have to re-download individual packages.
It took me 30 minutes to re-setup my (at the time) 70 mods with NMM. I know, I know -- it's not much. I've accumulated many more since then.
BOSS
BOSS, or 'Better Oblivion Sorting Software' (despite the name, it has been adapted to work with Skyrim), is an extremely easy-to-use tool that helps automatically determine the best mod loading order and prioritization in Skyrim. It'll help move mods up or down in the load queue and recommend Wyre Bash settings (below) to minimize the probability of seemingly-random CTDs.

Wyre Bash
Wyre Bash is an extremely powerful Skyrim Mod Management utility. Let's start with a feature list on this one:
Modified date for mods (so you know what you installed and when), as well as their total size, mod description, master files, bash tags, and author.
A plugin icon set of alternative Skyrim starters (like SKSE for SkyUI) that are linked directly into Wyre Bash/Smash.
A mod checker to determine rule sets and configurations.
Save game management with full support for 'what mods were installed upon save,' that way you can always figure out which new mods broke your game.
INI edits.
Screenshot management.
It's a powerful tool, as I said. The most useful bit is the color coding of conflicting mods, making it easy to determine corrupted files or improper load order; save game management and mod lists per save game files make things fluid to troubleshoot.
Wyre Bash also has BASH tags (which BOSS will auto-recommend for you) to force compatibilities between otherwise incompatible mods, sometimes.
Some mods, like for example http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/downloads/file.php?id=9494, tell you to make a clean save before installing it. But attempting to create a clean save appears to corrupt my save instead, provoking many CTD's. Here are the steps I took: 1. Dismiss all followers and move to an interior cell. 2. Save my game by creating a new file and shutting the game down. (So no quicksave, autosave or overwrite). 3. Deactivate all mods, start up Skyrim and load my save. 4. Save the game again, and shut it down. 5. Activate all mods, including the new one, and start the game. I have discovered that deactivating all my mods corrupts my save game, causing many crashes. One such a crash persistently happens when summoning Bound Swords. So what is the safest method of creating a clean save?
