Text problem with new mod

[the_mess]

Hello, I've been out of this forum for a long time but recently I went back to Skyrim so.. yeah, another skyrim run, another problem lol.. So my problem is that I downloaded a replacer for Lydia but its made by Chinese modder. The mod itself works fine but Lydia's name appears as boxes. Its obvious due to some encoding problem. I assume the .esp is leading the engine to chinese translation which I am missing ofc. Can you tell me which program I should use to modify the .esp? I checked the loose files and there are no files related to the translation or messing with the in-game texts at all so I guess its just the esp.

It looks like Lydia's name is in Chinese and the game can't display chinese fonts with the english version. So it appears as squares instead.

The same goes for other unsupported characters.

 

You can try to modify the esp with creation kit.

I was avoiding using CK, is it my only option? I mean is there any other program? I used CK in the early Skyrim days when it was released and it was very buggy.

Did it with SSEedit. The CK was not even able to display the file with any name so I was supposed to scroll through all actors to find it with its ID so I was like yeah no.. Did it with SSEedit in 1 min lol.

I just encountered the same issue. How did you fix it, if you don't mind me asking (And if you remember, lol)

Just load the .esp with SSEdit and change the name from the chinese symbols to whatever you want.
