I rather assumed that it would run a simple integrity check on isolated records. Nevertheless, I'm somewhat puzzled now that this is even possible because I did not think that the game would run through all the nested leveled lists on startup, to check whether a record might become an issue. So the faulty mods will never be applied. There are leveled lists that apply the leyword, but they all end up in a higher level object that has no users in the game. This is still a preliminary impression though because I still have to check whether the keywords controlling the misconfigured combinations are ever actually applied to that armor. There was a faint chance that none of these records would actually be used in the game (Fallout4.esm has quite a number of unused stuff), but that one is. I've only checked the first one on your list now, but there's evidence already that we may have stumbled upon a pile of bugs. For example, the leather armor torso in Fallout4.esm is using add-on indices 1, 2, 3, 11, 12, and 13. If a mod points to a certain index, the game will render all add-ons with that index.Īnother detail: the add-ons do not need to have running numbers. So to say, one can 'assemble' armors from several add-on models.

It's also worth noting that an index may be shared by several add-ons. The zero index is reserved for that unmodded variant. in game by the player) or on a random basis if a mod combination has the 'if_Epic_Restricted' keyword specified (this is done by the game automatically if the leveled list that distributes the item has an epic chance global specified). In other cases (actually, in most cases), there is an unmodded variant, to which the mods can be added at a workbench (i.e. In the case of the example armor, there are three leveled lists existing that have this armor as the only item, but each of these lists adds a different keyword. The appropriate keyword is added to the item via leveled lists.

Which one is active is determined via keywords (these are specified in the keyword record within the combination: if there is more than one keyword specified, the item must have them all for the respective combination to be selected). that armor piece always has one of the specified mod combinations active). Each of the three possible variants (light, medium and heavy) has its own 3D art. This requires further explanation: In this example, there is no default 3D art for the armor piece existing.

(2) Zero is valid only if an add-on with that index exists. (1) Yes, this ID field does always point to the addon index (unless it is -1, which means that the respectibve mod does not come with its individual 3D art).
