Need help editing a mod

[Yoen]

the creator of this mod https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/24336 is no longer active but i am trying to edit it too my own personal liking. however whenever i try to open it in creation kit, it stops working. it is classified as a master file but i cant make heads or tails of what to do about it.

normally i set something to active file, but i cant do it. can someone please gimme some pointers?

You can use Tesedit, open the esm click on file header and right click on record flags and remove the check for esm and on close it will become esp. After you edit the mod as esp in ck you open again with tesedit right click again on record flags and tick esm and close.

 

Also you can edit some things in esm with tesedit, you can't do anything with ck to an esm file since you can't set it as active and ck will assume you are making a new esp with that esm as part of master list.

Does it stop working trying to load other .esp?.esm files? If it does it on other files as well you might have to uninstall the CK and then reinstall it back. I have had a few times where it acted up and wouldn't load something but uninstalling it and then reinstalling it back fixed it.
