A: Occurs with plugins made with the ReProccer, NPC Editor or other 3rd party tools. These cannot be corrected with xEdit. You can try using the official Bethesda Editor but the official tool may not be able to correct the errors with loss of data.
Q: The Font is too small, I have a 4K or Hi-Res monitor. I can't read the text how do I increase the size?
A: There is some support for font scaling for Large Size, Hi-Res, or 4K monitors. This will help readability but in some situations there is no control for popup boxes that expect input from the user.

TES4Edit is the Oblivion version of xEdit, an advanced graphical module viewer/editor and conflict detector.

With 18,612 endorsements and 469,376 downloads, it's a trusted tool in the community.
✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community staple with 18,612 endorsements and nearly half a million downloads — clearly the go-to for Oblivion mod conflict resolution.
- Being part of the xEdit family means you get the same robust editing and viewing tools that Skyrim and Fallout modders swear by.
- Still updated in 2024, so you know it's not abandoned and works with current Oblivion setups.
⚠️ Cons
- Steep learning curve — xEdit tools are powerful but not beginner-friendly; you'll need to watch tutorials to get the most out of it.
- No in-depth documentation in the description, so you'll have to rely on community guides and forums to learn the ins and outs.
- Primarily a utility for modders — if you just want to play with mods, you might not need this unless you're troubleshooting conflicts.
For Oblivion modders who want to clean their mods, merge patches, or resolve conflicts like a pro. Also for players who are tired of crashes and want to diagnose what's going wrong. Skip if you're a casual player who never touches load orders — this is a tool, not a gameplay mod.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Run TES4Edit with the '-lod' argument to load only the master files and speed up initial scans.
- Use the 'Apply Filter' function to show only conflicting records — it makes spotting issues way easier.
- Always create a backup of your load order before making edits, and use the 'Clean Masters' option to remove dirty edits safely.
