Plugins for Starfield are intended to be some level of .esm, or master file. Either a light, medium, or full master. Since the Creation Kit will create an extra file for the patch, rather than editing the master, and its system requirements are somewhat restrictive, I'm making this tutorial for xEdit/SF1Edit.
