xEdit: Allow esp as Master

[Vyxenne]

I have been using the same version of SSEEdit for a couple of years, and had at one time needed to set an option so it would load esp plugins as Masters. I just updated SSEEdit and can no longer load an esp as a Master... and I have completely forgotten where to find the setting that allows it to load esp's as Masters!

• Computer-wide search for *Edit.ini finds nothing so if I ever had an xEdit.ini or SSEEdit.ini it's gone now
• Google searches on "xedit allow esp master" turn up lots of hits but none of them mentions how to set xEdit to allow it
• I found one article with the subject line "How can I set an esp as a Master for another esp in xEdit?" but the answer was to set the Master flag in Wrye Bash

Please, can someone please just tell me how I can make xEdit make loaded esp's eligible to add as Masters to other esp's?

You sure you could do that in xEdit? I always used Wyre Bash, ( Right click '"esmify self"), for that sort of thing.

Well you can do it in xEdit, (who would of thunk), looks a bit of a faff though. See section 6.6 of following link,

Sorry, that's not the answer- I don't want to convert an esp into a Master-flagged file and then add it as a master , I want to add it as an esp Master, which I've been doing for years. I did finally figure it out, and it was a load-order issue. Thanks for the response.
