📋 About This Mod

Welcome to the SKYRIM Save Cleaner tool This tool is designed to safely remove selected FORM ID\'s (REFR, PARW, ACHR and CELL) from your save file in a click of a button OR remove just one :) A Native Save Backup is created before the process begins as of 1. 8. 3+ so you can always revert back to it if needed :D, it is located in the same director as the tool with a date and time stamp so its easy to keep track of which save file is which ^_^ The Tool Now supports DLC REFR\'s as of version 1. 3+ The way the tool works, is: If a FORM ID is flagged as moved or Havok moved or inappropriate ;), the item is deleted from the game including its data. this in turn, lets the game reset the item back to its default location, hence saving save file space and decreasing loading times ^_^ (well actually the Player moved them, havok looks after them ^_^) The tool is designed and coded to be 100% safe, but bare in mind im only Human ;). thats why i now have a Save Backup feature just in case ^_^ this tool can easily clean-up the following, just to name a few: Abacean Longfin Ash Pile Bear Trap Blue Butterfly Corundum Ore Vein Cyrodilic Spadetail Dragonfly Ghostly Remains Gold Ore Vein Histcarp Ice Pile Iron Ore Vein Lever Luna Moth Monarch Butterfly Moonstone Ore Vein Orichalcum Ore Vein Quicksilver Ore Vein River Betty Salmon Silver Ore Vein Silverside Perch Torchbug Tripwire UNLOADED references soul gems laying around Weapons laying around apparel laying around Arrows from random encounters CELL data (not homes you own) Optional Actor Cleanup, leveled and Dead NPC\'s These FORM ID\'s are not touched Quest Items flagged as \"Promoted\" and \"Item Extra Data\" and \"Encounter Zone\" Radiant Quest Items Weapons in Display cases Weapons on Weapon Racks Weapons on Weapon Plaques Shields on Shield Plaques Thieves Guild Trophies Hearthfire House Trophies Hearthfire House Crops location REFR\'s like Falkreath and Markarth CELL\'s you own CELL\'s interiors Known Issue: -Bookshelves remove the Book from the shelf, fix: Just enter into the bookshelf then exit the bookshelf..... TADA -Cleaning up your Dead Leveled ACHR\'s will bring back the slayed dragons which in turn makes them attack the towns again, so be prepared -fix: slay them again :D -Dead dragons will appear as CELL\'s are reset, fix: the dragons will disappear after ~3 days in game, tested with 3 days passing( in a different cell) and reloading the save the tool goes though your save file and deletes these references and then the game resets them to there default location, hence no need to save anything to your save file You can manually search for an item if you know your FORMID this is a static reference: 001176AA etc this is a dynamic reference: FF1176AA etc The tool knows the difference :D, so just enter the FORM ID as you see it :D You will be surprised just how many references are loaf
