It was discovered while I was helping AOS author and other people helping, to show them how to do BAINs plus Wizard scripting for a multi-installer which also had NMM / MO scripting for AOS 2, I got to try out some of the ongoing work while showing them how to bring it all together in one archive.

I just had a good read back on a few PM threads on nexus, and I think the guilty person was a fourth party who was helping third party and passing edited versions of your plugins between each other .. Third party pointed out the signature problems to fourth party - And I assumed it was from an original of yours. Now I am pretty certain fourth party was the one who used Snip ..

I should have got that straight before posting here, again I offer my sincere apologies

The description for Homemaker explicitly credits TESVSnip!

Look at the comments. The author is recoding the mod with FO4Edit, which will be 1.12

Ah, ok. Don't mind me so.

I think I will not use any esp mods until sometime after the official tool is released even then I might not.

You'd miss out on the vast majority of excellent mods if you never use any .esp based mods

I'd just advise caution. Make a savegame you can go back to before installing any mod (that's always a good idea) and until the Creation Kit is released;

• always read the comments on a mod,
• avoid any .esp based mods unless you really can't bear to be without what they offer,
• be emotionally prepared to start a new character or go back to a save before you tried an .esp based mod.

Once the Creation Kit is out... well, pretty much the same advice applies, just with much less risk of having to discard a character.

And many .esp mods can really be exceptionally good.

I do that for any mod. I usually like to wait until a mod has been out for some time. I have a habit of always starting a new game with the mods unless the mod states you have to have done a so called quest first or whatever. When updating a mod or removing mods I delete all game saves and start from scratch. I usually even do this when an Official patch is released for a game with no mods. I prefer starting from scratch, besides I love starting new characters.

To me mods are only a bonus and not needed for any game.

No sweat, I understand. No hard feelings. cheers
