This is an amazing thread.
One question though, what's the general rule for cleaning "BugFix" plugins?
I always wondered if due their special nature they should be left alone. I think TESTool is a great utility, but it's also known that some mods should not be cleaned with it (as stated in their readme).
One example: The Unofficial Morrowind Patch v1.6.3b is modified by TESTool on a cleaning process.
Thanks for this list.
Thanks, Sleawer. Generally, having looked at all or most of them, I don't think there's any reason to clean them. Where there is, I have so annotated it (i.e., dirty refs, evil GMSTs, etc.), and I recommend using a more surgical tool, like TESAME or TESPCD, to remove the errant entries. However, for those not annotated as having problems, the problem is made worse by the fact that, if I understand correctly, there is a rather high chance of necessary entries being deleted on a TESTool clean. I wouldn't let anything touch the UMP -- and besides, that puppy is tried and true.
It will work if you add it, but you will want to use Mash to update your save (and make a backup). Make a note of any errors that you get - I had lots of errors appear when I updated from 1.2 (MW only) to 1.6.3 (GOTY) version of the UMP.
Good to see that my "Wild Rare Ingredients" has been added
Another one for the "optional" list (not mine): CdCooley's http://home1.gte.net/cdcooley/PropylonLighting1.0.zip from http://home1.gte.net/cdcooley/.
Similar to the "goblin buckler" fix - not a bug per se but a technical issue.
I really like your little fixes. I'm hoping to see them all built into an addendum for the UMP.
I'll check out CDCooley's mod when I get the chance -- been busy with RL issues for the past few days. Thanks for the note!
