This batch script automates the cleaning of all official Fallout 4 DLC and Creation Club plugins using xEdit's Quick Auto Clean. By streamlining the cleaning process, it ensures your game runs smoothly and reduces the risk of conflicts.
Why Clean Your DLC, CC and Mods?
Error Prevention: Mods can introduce errors, such as duplicate records, bad edits, or missing dependencies, which can cause the game to crash or malfunction. Cleaning your mods identifies and rectifies these issues, ensuring a smoother gaming experience.
Performance Optimization: As the number of mods grows, so does the game’s load time and resource consumption. Cleaning mods helps eliminate unnecessary assets, reducing the strain on your system and improving overall performance.
Compatibility Assurance: With multiple mods installed, conflicts can arise, causing unintended behavior or game-breaking issues. Mod cleaning ensures that your mods are compatible with each other, reducing the likelihood of conflicts.
Installing: 💿 Backup your DLC and CC files into another folder in case you want to revert back to the stock DLC and CC esm and esl files!
Place both the batch_clean_plugins.bat and clean_plugins.txt files in the same file where FO4Edit.exe and FO4EditQuickAutoClean.exe are located.
Then run the bat file and it will open the FO4EditQuickAutoClean.exe and will auto select the esm or esl based on the loader and it will go and clean them automatically. You just follow the on screen prompts and close FO4edit for the script to clean the next DLC or CC until it the process is finished.
