airnox Posted October 7, 2021 Posted October 7, 2021 Ok i know that you can NOT distributed the Skyrim.esm. Obviously. But i just read on a nexus forum that modifying the .esm is also not allowed for own use? Is this true? So i can not add 1000 extra health for every race, by changing it in the original Skyrim.esm?? Do i really need to make an separate esp for it?

For example, if i made a topic about wanting more health for the npc's. Then someone will say i have to change it in the Skyrim.esm with xEdit for every race. I dont understand. Why are they telling me this if it can get me in trouble?
