FO4 Plugin Auto Cleaning Tool (PACT)

DISCLAIMER: BEFORE YOU ASK "IS IT SAFE TO CLEAN PLUGINS?"

Short answer: Yes.

Long answer: Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee... It's fine, though PACT will skip cleaning DLCs for now.

Cleaning plugins removes Identical To Master Records(ITMs) and Undisabled References(UDRs)

ITMs are records completely identical to base game / base mod or official DLC data.

These records will frequently overwrite valid changes made by other mods and should be cleaned or removed whenever possible, as they can cause various conflicts between mods.

Though seemingly very rare, "intentional" ITMs are considered a bad modding practice.

UDRs are potentially more harmful, as these are deleted records that other

mods may try to use. If that happens, this can lead to broken quests or

even game crashes. These records need to be restored and properly

disabled, instead of simply being deleted.

ABOUT

PACT is a tool that uses xEdit / FO4Edit / SSEEdit to automate the plugin cleaning process.

It will try to batch clean all of your active plugins and it also logs the whole process,

so you can see which plugins actually got cleaned. PACT is similar in functionality to

Batch Plugin Cleaner, though my implementation has several benefits over that script:

- Compatible with both MO2 and Vortex.

- Compatible with all stable versions of Mod Organizer 2.

- Compatible with both Fallout 4 and Skyrim Special Edition.

- You can manually add plugins to the ignore list so they get skipped.

- PACT will auto skip cleaning plugins that are missing plugin requirements.

- PACT will auto add plugins that are found to be already clean to the ignore list.

- PACT will list plugins that FO4Edit cleaned and plugins that contain Deleted Navmeshes.

- PACT will also log these plugin results, cleaning sessions & data to "PACT Journal.log"

- You can close/exit PACT at any point and any background cleaning process will stop ASAP.

- You can easily check for PACT updates with one button (PACT can also auto-check itself).

(Also planning to add support for other Bethesda games.)
