Cutting Room Floor Mod

Installation Requirements

Skyrim Special Edition 1.6.1130 or greater.

Unofficial Skyrim Special Edition Patch 4.3.7 or greater.

DO NOT extract the contents of the BSA file into your Data folder as loose files, or let your mod manager perform an equivalent function on the contents of the file. Doing so will cause things to load in the wrong order and break the game. Skyrim is intended to load a BSA alongside it's ESM/ESP file. Circumventing this causes issues which I will not provide support for. If you insist on going against this advice, you will receive no support for the problems you generate as a result of this.

Installation - Wrye Bash BAIN

Drop the archive into your Skyrim Mods\Bash Installers folder, then install as usual.

Make sure the mod is active in the Wrye Bash mods tab.

Installation - Manual

Drop the Cutting Room Floor.esp, Cutting Room Floor.bsa, and Cutting Room Floor - Textures.bsa files into your Data folder.

Activate the mod using whatever management tool suits you.

The Cutting Room Floor.modgroups file is useful for doing conflict management in xEdit. It is not required to run the mod.

Upgrading

Simply install the new files over the top of the old ones. Any needed internal updates will be handled automatically.

Uninstalling

Due to the nature of Skyrim mods, especially those with scripts, it is STRONGLY recommended you do not attempt to uninstall this mod once you've begun using it. The scripts altered by the mod, as well as several portions of the content will be permanently altered and will not restore themselves to their previous states.

This is not a defect in this mod, it is merely how Skyrim works with any mod that includes scripted changes. There is nothing I or anyone else can do about this. You need to load a save prior to having installed this mod in order to restore the game to its previous condition.

If you insist on removing the mod and continuing with the save though, the Cutting Room Floor.esp, Cutting Room Floor.bsa, and Cutting Room Floor - Textures.bsa files must be removed from your Data folder. Any errors or residual changes left behind by doing so are your sole responsibility and any complaints about this will be ignored.

Load Order

Load early, as close to the top of your load list as reasonably possible since this mod deals in restored vanilla content.

LOOT (https://loot.github.io/) should be used for optimal placement.
