You can safely ignore these warnings and continue on. Once the CK is done, an at first alarming looking 'Warnings' menu will pop up, telling you there's a whole bunch of errors (471, to be precise). Keeps you from getting headaches when having converted ten or more plugins in a row and forgot which ones. Then you can activate the esl in NMM and in one go immediately get rid of the converted esp from the data folder. Keep NMM open on its Plugins tab and also keep the Fallout 4/Data folder open. Click 'OK' and wait for the action to finish (This is the 'patience' part, depending on how fast your computer is). The selected esp will get its box ticked in the Data menu list. In the Data menu that opened in a small window, scroll through the list with plugins to the one you want to convert, select it and hit 'Set as Active File'. Open the CK, hit 'File' in the top toolbar and select 'Data' from the roll-out menu. Once you've installed the Creation Kit, here's the steps to follow: For patience and common sense, you're on your own. Then you can download the Bethesda Launcher to download and install the CK. The former can be obtained through going to the Bethesda Dashboard page and logging into your acount or make one. The only thing you do need in this case is the Creation Kit. Simple because it takes just a few clicks. This is just a simple and small tutorial. This is not a mod as such, in that it doesn't add anything to the game. I like to keep the lot where LOOT originally placed them. When having tons of mods, LOOT often keeps the latest added esp plugins at the bottom of the pack. And as always, before doing anything, first of all make a new save in the game so that you can go back to that should you have to re-install the original mod when something went wrong.Īlso, before converting an esp to esl, check where the esp was sitting in NMM's load order, so that you can place the esp back in its original spot after having to go back to the esp. Please make sure to read everything carefully.
