📋 About This Mod
These scripts attempt to automatically create patches for various mods, by generating overrides with certain changes.
Installation:
Extract the "Edit Scripts" folder in this archive into your FO4Edit directory. There should be a folder of that name in there already.
Open your mods in Fo4Edit, select the relevant entries or just the whole mod, then rightclick -> apply script -> select the script you want to run. You will be asked to select an ESP into which to insert the overrides. You will probably want "<new file>" if it's your first time, or the patch file you generated previously.
Caution: More often than not Fo4Edit will break if you try to process your entire load order. It's usually better to process individual mods separately, and hit CTRL+S inbetween.
