How do I convert old ESP's using CK?(Basic Question)

[Bounty228]

I am having trouble understanding this as I loaded Amorous Adventures(Clean Version/No dependencies) and tried 'saving it out' which I interpret as simply saving over it. All it did was save an empty ESP, obviously I am not grasping what people are telling me to do. May someone be more direct on what I am suppose to do?

To convert, you need to set the esp in question as the ACTIVE file. This means that you are editing this file. Once you do, you can just save and it'll save to the new format.

I cannot believe I never noticed that "Set as Active Button" at the bottom of the data file select screen. I have been using Creation Kit for years and never paid much attention. Hopefully, this forum post will help out anyone who is stumped like this in the future.
