ITM Records being duplicate records that are identical to one another, deleted references being references that have been deleted and deleted navmeshes being the same. Hopefully now Identical to Master Records deleted references and deleted navmeshes are somewhat self-explanatory. Without em, NPC’s, including companions and enemies, cannot move around. All the terrain covered by the red polygons you are seeing are places accessible to NPCs in the game. Here I’ve loaded up Skyrim in the Creation Kit, Bethesda’s in-house game editor, and set the navmesh to be visible. Navmeshes, on the other hand, are used by NPC AI to pathfind around the game world. So when we say a record references another record, you can physically think of an arrow point from one piece of data to another. Referencesīut what happens when one record affects the data of another record or maybe one record needs another record to function? These records have to be connected somehow and this is done through something called references. So again, literally all the data needed for a plugin to function. Records are literally everything from the damage an Iron Dagger does to the height of an NPCs cheekbones.

These bits of data are called records and we’ll now be referring to them as such. RecordsĪs we already know, plugin files contain data necessary for their changes to take effect.

For now let me explain records, references, and navmeshes. These are the 3 main issues that cleaning your plugins resolves and we’ll go over why they exist in a little bit. What is and what does it do? To understand this we first have to define some terminology: Identical to master records or ITM records for short, deleted references and deleted navmeshes. Ok, back to the video.įirst things first, this video is part of a series of guides for MO2 so if I’m talking about something you don’t understand it was covered prior. ENB’s can be added at any time really, so I’ve made a guide on my personal channel. Seriously, go there! Lastly, I’ve had a lot of people ask me for an ENB guide. There are also tons of links to useful resources for all your modding troubles.

Also, check out my Discord, link to that is down below, it’s a great place to ask questions and has a modding conversation. This helps me continue making videos and ensures this series’ continuation.
