I don't think that is a good idea.
If you really want to do it, open the ESM in NVSE-supported G.E.C.K. (you need to create a BAT file for that) and recompile it to an ESP.

Having archive invalidation on should just ignore the esm/esp thing. I know my version of Willow had a similar error but works anyway.

If you really want to try it there is a way to do it on FOMM. I have never tried it thought so I don't know if it actually works properly:

In Fallout Mod Manager, highlight and right click the mod in question, right click, then go into TESSnip. From here go to the top left and hit File and then Save. You can then save it as either an ESP or ESM file. You could then try removing the dodgy file and replacing it with the one you just saved.

Again, I haven't tried this myself so I don't know if it actually works properly or not.

how is it a bad idea?
as an alternative, is there any ways where i can change the master required to be an esm?

Masters are usually set as masters for a reason. There is a chance that the mod author just wanted it to be as high as possible because why not, but I haven't seen a mod like that.
Plus I don't really trust FOMM ESP conversion, but that's only me.

Doesn't this mean you need a different version? I remember something like that happening to WMX once regarding another mod and a compatiblity patch, and it only meant that it wasn't compatible with either the previous or the latest version and I had to upgrade or downgrade it.

i found a workaround for this however i cannot use fnvedit because of errors.
i need to make a dummy esp for the file to read. however i cannot edit files with fnvedit because of errors, i tried making the dummy file with the geck but upon making it i named it the wrong thing, after deleting it i tried redoing the process but not when trying to save it the geck freezes.
this is driving me crazy.

What's wrong with fnvedit?

i fixed it, just changed all the active plugins, however i tried it and still get the same error.
i assume its because the file i made isnt set as a master.
any way to do this?
