Save game script cleaner

My personal tool, i share it here, if you can have use for it.

Always create a backup for you save, before using this!

Need a editor, that supports new string count format by Crash fixes? SkyrimTools by Mark Fairchild

In case that you antivirus doesn't like a file: It seems like antiviruses often gives a false alarms for files written on certain tools/programming languages, and that seems to happen for this tool. So, it's possible, that your antivirus program goes mad, when you downloaded this.

This program is created using RosAsm, so source is included in .exe file. Available in misc files too. Be free to edit it as you wish.

How to use it?

1. Click open, choose a save game file.

2. Click "FixScriptInstances", it removes all orphan script instances.

3. This is optional, and not compatible with all mods. Click a Delete all #

4. Push save or save as button. Make sure you have backups for both savename.ess and savename.skse (if its installed). Load a save in the game, and save it again. Now it should be fully cleaned. Re-saving removes script names etc.

Auto backup, if on,(default) creates a backup from your save, named as backup-date-time.ess and backup-date-time.skse. In versions 2. 00< only savename.ess backup is created.

"Clean other" this cleans orphan array7 items + visited worldspace array items having a formId 0. "Clean formlists" removes all form lists items with refId 0.

Dont use "Inc.refs", unless you know what forms it deletes!

Game crashes when saving a cleaned save? Here's how awjnash got it to work: I was having an issue where whenever my game saved it instantly crashed to the desktop (CTD). This is what worked for me:

1) Be very careful here! I used this Skyrim utility, version 2. 06 BETA. However, I did not use any of the advanced options and did not click the " Delete # " button. Also, I made sure that I check-marked the " Create Backup " check-box before I saved just in case things went bad! You never know!

2) I deleted old game saves that I no longer needed. This is also good for your PC overall because it frees up hard-drive space! Your Skyrim game saves are located in a folder found in Windows: Documents>My Games>Skyrim>Saves. Be very careful here not delete game saves that you actually still want to load or use! I would leave yourself about 5 to 10 recent game saves just in case one becomes corrupt or something. You never know! An
