When a mod updates and makes a change to any script, the author can add new properties, add and remove functions from the script but CANNOT remove any properties or change what the properties are pointing to in the game. Congratulations, they are now BAKED into your save and can never be changed or removed under normal circumstances. When Skyrim loads up for the first time it loads EVERY SINGLE SCRIPT in the game and when you save your game all properties of that script are saved to your save game. If you understand already, have read this before or simply don't care to know how your car engine works as long as it works, feel free to skip ahead. Just refer back to this tutorial for the steps on removing it.īefore we get started I feel a little explanation on WHY this must be done is in order. In an update that requires this i will list the specific script name that should be purged from your save in the update itself. I try and keep calls for this to a minimum, but now and then a bug is found in the Legacy scripts that must be cleaned in this manner. Here are the instructions needed to run SURGICAL cleanings of your save game for Legacy content that must be cleaned. You should never do a full across the board clean of every entry in your save game, that will most likely spell disaster, but if you carefully and precisely remove the correct entries, your game will survive and run faster and better for it.

Save game cleaning can help fix many problems your game may be experiencing, however it can also break your save game entirely if you don't do it correctly.
