Another question about cleaning.
I'm doing some tests for cleaning my mod list, and I'd like to share my method with everyone who is interested in this feature, because I do not really fully understand how to do it. I have read the information in the CS Wiki and followed the instructions in TESIV: Positive and I've been able to clean all the known dirty mods present in the wiki page. Then, there are other known plugins that sould never be cleaned, so I did not touch them. Now, when it comes to the ones that are not in either list, what's the procedure to follow? I use Wrye Bash to see which are the masters of a single plugin, then I open TES4EDIT and uncheck all, then I check them in the order they are loaded in Wrye Bash, I apply the "Conflict status inherited by parent" filter, then "remove identical to masters records" and "undelete and disable references", and then close and save if that proceeds. Ok.
But some records should not be removed even if identical to masters. How to know which ones?
And should I only load the masters listed in Wrye Bash or there are other masters/plugins one plugin can depend on and should be loaded?
If my method is correct, can I just say that "this and this and that plugin are clean" to other people, saving time to other people?
I think these are my doubts, for now. Thanks to all for reading.
