How to edit somebody else's mod (for my use only)

[Pocket Bleach]

I like the Immersive Jewelry[www.nexusmods.com] mod but I really hate how it adds weight to your gold coins.

I tried using the creation kit to open it but kept getting errors (assertion, line 2871)

If anybody knows how to overcome this or could just remove the weight on gold coins for me :) that would be great.

Thanks!

It does?

I am using 2 mods, where one includes more jewels to game world and other one adds weight to coins. I could spare a space from my load order by using this instead.

Thanks for sharing. I know this does not help you with your own problem, but perhaps you managed to help me with one of mine. :)

Completely ignore the existance of the creationkit, it is tedious and far too difficult to use for this sort of basic editing. What you want to grab instead is tes5edit.

Open Tes5edit, right click on the first window that appears and hit deselect all and then ONLY select the mod you want to edit (any masters will be loaded automatically).
Wait for it to load, it will say Background loader Finished in the right panel when it is done.
Click the little cross next to the mod so that it opens up the mods structure, open up the Misc. Item catagory, and to go the record that is labeled with the editor id Gold001.
It will open up on the right pane and the very very last variable at the bottom of the column for mod should be the weight. Click on it so its highlighted (make sure you click on the column related to your mod, not any other) and type 0.
A warning box will appear, just hit okay, it should change the value, and then just closed tes5edit via the x in the top corner and make sure you safe AND BACKUP your plugin you edited.

All done
Fair warning, I typed this up from memory having done a similar edit recently, so sorry if theres any slight flaws in the instructions, but you should be good with that edit.

Edit: Ilja you can do the same as above but use 1 instead of 0 to add weight to coins in one of your existing mods instead of using a brand new mod for it as well if you want

honestly if you have to ask that question I would not even mess with it people have enough trouble with unstable mods as it is if you try messing with a mod someone else created you stand a chance of destabilzing it and messing your game up.

Changing the weight of a coin as per my instructions above is very safe and will not destablise the game or the plugin as long as the instructions are kept too.
