mod cleaning: where is UDR safe? what ESPs not to clean?

Post » Thu Feb 26, 2015 4:19 am

Hello, I have a few questions regarding the plugin cleaning process.

I'm new to playing modded Oblivion, but have learned a bit on using Wrye Bash, managing load order with BOSS, and cleaning plugins (including the TES4Edit Cleaning Guide). Though even after some searching around for info, I'm still unsure about a few things.

1) I know the Unofficial Patches should not be cleaned, but is that applicable to just the main one in the package, ie, "Unofficial Oblivion Patch.esp" or is it applicable to all the plugins in each package?

2) I've also read that "Oscuro's Oblivion Overhaul.esm" and "Oscuro's Oblivion Overhaul.esp" shouldn't be cleaned. Is that applicable to all the OOO plugins as well, including "Oscuro's Oblivion Overhaul - Knights.esp", "OOO-Water_Weeds.esp", and "OOO-Level_Slow.esp" ?

3) There was a page I came across that says "undelete and disable references" is safe for any plugin. Could someone else here verify that this is indeed safe? Forum won't let me post links, but it was from "TESIV:POSitive" and could be found by googling the following:

oblivion plugin cleaning "undelete and disable references"

I apologize if I come off as sounding a bit picky about this, though I would prefer to make sure I get things right beforehand rather than put hours into a save and then find it has all kinds of issues that result in me correcting them and having to start over.

Here's my load order:

Thank you in advance :smile:
