About this mod
Cleanup your SKYRIM Save file, rmeove all that uneccessary clutter that loads down your save game. Guaranteed to decrease loading times for the heavy players. :D
- Permissions and credits
- Changelogs
This tool is designed to safely remove selected FORM ID's (REFR, PARW, ACHR and CELL) from your save file in a click of a button
OR
remove just one :)
***A Native Save Backup is created before the process begins as of 1.8.3+
so you can always revert back to it if needed :D, it is located in the same director as the tool with a date and time stamp so its easy to keep track of which save file is which ^_^
***The Tool Now supports DLC REFR's as of version 1.3+
The way the tool works, is: If a FORM ID is flagged as moved or Havok moved or inappropriate ;), the item is deleted from the game including its data. this in turn, lets the game reset the item back to its default location, hence saving save file space and decreasing loading times ^_^
(well actually the Player moved them, havok looks after them ^_^)
The tool is designed and coded to be 100% safe, but bare in mind im only Human ;). thats why i now have a Save Backup feature just in case ^_^

Abacean Longfin
Ash Pile
Bear Trap
Blue Butterfly
Corundum Ore Vein
Cyrodilic Spadetail
Dragonfly
Ghostly Remains

Known Issue:
-Bookshelves remove the Book from the shelf,
fix: Just enter into the bookshelf then exit the bookshelf.....TADA
-Cleaning up your Dead Leveled ACHR's will bring back the slayed dragons which in turn makes them attack the towns again, so be prepared
-fix: slay them again :D
-Dead dragons will appear as CELL's are reset,
fix: the dragons will disappear after ~3 days in game, tested with 3 days passing( in a different cell) and reloading the save
the tool goes though your save file and deletes these references and then the game resets them to there default location, hence no need to save anything to your save file
You can manually search for an item if you know your FORMID
this is a static reference:
001176AA etc
this is a dynamic reference:
FF1176AA etc
The tool knows the difference :D, so just enter the FORM ID as you see it :D
You will be surprised just how many references are loafing your save file down.
Running on my 60Hr save file the tool found 24000+ references
the tool cleaned up these references and viola my savefile size dropped from 14MB to 11MB
AND THE LOADING TIMES WERE GOOD AS NEW!!!!!!
Your quests progress and other save data is not touched. This is purely for the References in game.
////////////////////////////////
How to use the tool:
////////////////////////////////

2. Once you are in the game, open the console using the ~ key on your keyboard
3. type in the following:
save mysave 1
4. The game will now make a dump file, so you will need to wait a few minutes while the dump is generating the "mysave.ess.txt" AND "mysave.ess"
5. load SKYRIM Save Cleaner.exe
6. click on "fix all REFR's", Follow the prompts "mysave.ess.txt" AND "mysave.ess" are in your skyrim saves folder
eg. "C:\Users\user\Documents\My Games\Skyrim\Saves"
7. the tool will take approx 2 min searching for the REFRs'
8. the tool will take approx 10min removing the found REFR's (SKYRIM IS HUGE, so is your savefile)
9. once finished load "mysave.ess" in your game of SKYRIM from the Load Menu
10 play ^_^
